Yeah we blew them out. @home! Yeah we played D like the team we've been seein all yr. @home!! Yeah the O flowed and the shots we normally get and make we got and made. @home!!! Yeah we maintained our composure when they made a run and it seemed like the refs where helpin them get back in2 the gm. Great, whoopee, yea . The response 2this win should b SO WHAT!!!! I don't know 'bout u gents but IM NOT IMPRESSED U wanna impress ME. How 'bout winnin in Atl the same way!! How 'bout when THEIR crowd is bringin it and they're runnin a little faster, jumpin a little higher and are hyped up how do u respond? Do u show that ur a team thats on a mission after winnin 60+ gms durin the yr OR do u just fall apart and just start panicking, forcing things that aren't there, playin w/o any passion, urgency, professionalism, and poise? Check out the big 3s championship yrs when they dominated opponents like this, 1s they should crush. Now if this was the east finals or the finals then Id be a little more expectant of peaks and valleys against a quality opponent. But this is atl gents . We should've won this series already. Im not impressed w/a 4-2 series win . I think its sloppy, I think it shows this teams level of killer instinct(both coach&players). If it takes 16wins 2win it all, I like phil jackson said and told his lakers when he wrote the #16 on a bulletin board, in my heart of hearts don't think they're good enough 2do it. They're gonna have 2REALLY impress me 2convince me that this was just an anomaly that they have a killer instinct that's perceived by their play. When guys start showboatin and talkin trash respond w/good defensive or offensive execution. Keepin your cool and your professionalism instead of loosin it and panicking. Any1 who's feelin better 'bout this win, eh, Im not goin 2say we didn't need it, but I AM goin 2say Im not impressed w/this team and from THIS series they're NOT a championship team .

Look i understand everyone is frustrated, but the celtics had game 4 undercontrol until they started settling for jumpers in the 4th quarter. Also the hawks do have a few macthup advantages. Everyteam is going to play better at home. Also the celtics didnt get into the trash talking and trying to intimidate the hawks. We just let our playing do the talking.
When the heat won the championship 2 years ago they stuggle in the first round with the bulls, ironically this series reminds me of that one. The bulls were the young energetic, athletic team that took the heat to 6 games. That was probably the heat's toughest series. The playoffs arent suposed to be easy, but i think were going to close them out friday night.
Go Celtics!!!!!

Hey GO34 its a pleasure hear from u and 2hear from another fellow fan of the green !!! HOWEVER I TOTALLY disagree w/ur comparison of this team 2that heat team that won the championship 2yrs ago. For 1thing that heat team wasn't the #1 seed goin in2 the playoffs like this1, it was the #2seed. It wasn't dominate all year like this team was literally, I mean look @our road record and our record against the tougher western teams. Look @our ranks in D, shootin% against, forcin TO's, etc, this team was a juggernaut really all yr long. That team didn't make what was arguably the best off-season move(s) by acquiring proven players ray allen&KG to go along w/PP goin in2 that yr like this team. Plus the bulls had a good team that yr and few people had the bulls gettin swept in the 1st rd like unlike JUST 'BOUT EVERY1 who predicted this series. Plus the fact that u bring up that they had gm4 in control and LOST it is my VERY PT . These aren't rooks that are shockin the world, these are mainly vet players w/playoff experience 3of which have HOF cred and are constantly bein compared 2what's arguably the gms best front line ever. THEY'RE the 1s who lost it . I also don't know what gm U were watchin cause in gm 4 I saw Joe Johnson and J.Smith look like the 2nd comin of pippen&jordan against US . I saw a team in green that 4got ON THE SPOT how 2play D, run its offense, rebound&box out, make foul-shots, should I go on? Plus what do u mean we didn't get in2 trash talkin w/them didn't KG, Sam I am, etc get techs in that gm when Zaza Pachulia was in the face of KG . Zaza Pachulia!!! My point is we SHOULD be intimidatin this team WE'RE THE #1SEED!!!!! Not by a little bit either check it out we're supposed 2b done w/these guys sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs2008/series?series=atlbos. Show me some killer instinct!!!! If this was the regular season it'd be the equivalent of playin the knicks or the heat @hm and not destroying them like WE'RE SUPPOSED2!!!!! Sorry GO34 I expect a little more from a team that talks allll yr 'bout winnin a championship, that's compared 2Bird, McHale, and Parrish and dominates all yr long goin in2 the playoffs the favorite.
