I dont get why Salim Stoudemire can't get more PT on that team.. hes the only one on that team that can shoot other than JJ.

Well, one of the mods put up a Cavs vs. Celtics 2nd round thread before the end of Game 6, but I think now we can be sure that will be the matchup.

Yeah but Bird had injury problems late in his career. Had Bird been healthy it would be a no brainer. Duncan is just so dependable. Both are great clutch players. I honestly think Duncan is the 4th best big man in NBA history behind Russell Wilt and Kareem.

And it's really hard to pick a top 5. Wilt, Kareem, Magic, Bird, Jordan? Do you leave out Russell?

Bird had injury problems, but still put up numbers. And the Celtics were almost always in the mix for a Championship

I figured out why the Hawks couldn't beat the Celtics on the road... Looking at the Boston crowd is like staring into a lightbulb. All you can see is white.

So are the Spurs. Bird also had a better team surrounding him.

I just think it's close. Bird has an edge, but I don't think it's a large edge.

I've had to watch Duncan destroy my Suns year in and year out. Maybe I'm biased because I only caught the end of Bird's career.

Well the officials let the players play for 3 quarters, and din't call every little ticky tacky touch foul on the Celtics. Give the Hawks another 40 free throws, and it might have been a close game, especially if Bibby and Josh Smith had managed to show up.

Too bad, I was rooting for the Hawks to put an end to Doc Rivers' tenure in Boston.

NetsForce · Post #1020 » by **NetsForce** » Sun May 4, 2008 7:44 pm

The Hawks got that many free throws because they attacked the basket. Something the Celtics weren't able to do (my theory is that they were scared of Al Horford and Zaza Pachulia).

I think it's funny how cocky the Celtics act and I'm a Celtics fan. I don't know if Garnett was being arrogant or he was mad or what, but when you look at him and you look at the fans chanting, it's really quite rediculous.

"Yeah we beat the Hawks in the first round in seven games!"

The rest of the world - "And?"

Rondo runs right into Marvin Williams instead of going to the basket. Marvin tries to get out of his way, and the Refs call Marvin for a flragrant 2.

Refdiculous.

I love people like NY fans and Cevap.

My only ? now is. Who is NETSFORCE going to root for???

OMG you either are cheering for "LeBronze" or *gulp* "KG/Pierce" ?

that beatdown was expected. No way Atlanta was winning on the road, they just are plain HORRIBLE on the road.

As for the Celtics, good luck beating Lebron James and the Cavs
