Congrats!
Series tied at 2-2! You guys are shocking all NBA fans across the globe!
I'm rooting for you guys, and I'm sure many others are as well!

Re: Congrats!
I had to reload the page - I couldn't believe that the series was really tied. I'm rooting for the Hawks hard core in the East.

Re: Congrats!
Best game I have ever been to, hands down. I think I am going to watch the replay of it tonight. LOL.
BTW, I don't really see the Hawks losing at home in this series.

Re: Congrats!
I came here to make a thread congratulating you guys but I guess I am too late. Being a Suns fan I miss Joe Johnson and boy was he sick. He made Leon Powe his *****! Crossed him up, made him fall, stopped for like 3 seconds, then nailed a clutch 3. He and Josh Smith are just monsters.
Also, I'd like to say that was the craziest crowd I have in a while. I loved the energy of the crowd it pumped me up.

Re: Congrats!
Damn did not think you guys would win a game let alone two.
Next game though you guys need to show you can step it up at Boston.

Coming into the series I was hoping the Hawks could steal a game against the Celtics. After the first two shellackings I was just hoping the Hawks would be competitive. The way Atlanta has bounced back is nothing short of miraculous.
If any NBA watchers weren't convinced that Joe Johnson isn't a bona fide superstar all they need to do is watch the fourth quarter of tonight's game.

Re: Congrats!
That was awesome. I love your guys' team and felt you guys really underachieved in the regular season.
It was great to see the fans all pumped up.
Good luck the rest of the way!

Re: Congrats!
My two favorite teams in the NBA right now are the Hawks and the Blazers. I see both teams as the future of the NBA. Oden/Roy/Aldridge in the West and Johnson/Smith/Horford in the East. Man, Atlanta is a fun team to watch, and it gave me goosebumps to see the crowd get into it. I know that the Hawks aren't the most followed team in the ATL, but hopefully this will energize the city to come out and support a team that's definately going to be in the upper tier of the NBA for years to come.

Re: Congrats!
Heat fan, and I really want to see you guys go far, my 2nd favorite team in the NBA, and I admire how you guys have played this series.
Johnson/Horford/Smith are up there in my top 10 favorite's in the NBA, just sick.
