Thats what happens when folks can't read the ticket thingy attached to the Raptor claw in your avy.

Good thing I was so unimaginative with my username. I could be sporting an avy of Michael Jordan dunking over Bill Lamb and there would still be no confusion as to my loyalties.

:lol:

Rooting for the Hawks here is hardly being a bandwagon fan, or else mostly everyone watching the playoffs would be a bandwagon fan. Everyone like to root for the underdog. Unless you're abandoning your own team, that doesn't make you a bandwagoner.

Hate to say it, but I have a feeling the Celtics will close out the 7th game in the first few minutes.

The Hawks have played a great series and its great they made it this far, but I just can't bring myself to believe this could really happen.

I'll be pulling for 'em, though!

I was obviously playing, just in case y'all didn't catch on..

I think everybody will be cheering for the Hawks..I'm not a fan at all, I actually dislike some of their players, but I'll definitely be cheering for them..

sadly, I agree with Pistons1, and I think Boston takes care of them early..I hope I'm wrong..the bright side is that I've been wrong about EVERYTHING in this series(other than Atlanta not being able to win on the road)..

Congratulations to the Hawk fans. It was a great win. Your regular season record is definitely not indicative of your actual talent.

I want the Hawks to win

But the Celtics just have so much on the line just to fold.

I would love to see Atlanta go into the 4th quarter with a shot at it.

I'd be pretty excited if the lead is single digits at that point.

I certainly don't think the Hawks will lie down and let Boston get up by 30 in the first half.

And it would be really interesting to see how Boston would respond if Atlanta got up double digits in the first half. You kind of get the feeling they've been on the edge of losing their cool all series.

Would it be too cheesy for ATL to revive GSW's old "We Believe" campaign? Because....this is kind of incredible.

I hope everyone can see why Josh Smith should have been 2nd or 3rd in DPOY, the kid is a phenomenal defender. Other than Bibby, that whole starting line up is damn good defensively, I really like watching them.

All he does is block and steal my ass. Might be the best transition shot blocker I have ever seen also.
