Honestly, I am not sure how Atlanta has forced a Game 7. Joe Johnson is a fake star. Josh Smith is a non star. Dwayne Wade is one of the three best players in the league. Yet the Hawks have a chance to move on.

Cleveland will win versus either Miami or Atlanta, but the goal coming into this year for Atlanta was get home court and advance to round two. It would be good to see them reach that goal. They didn't show any fight or heart in Game 6. Let's see if ATL can follow through in Game 7.

They are up 20+ in the fourth at the moment, Cleveland here we come!

I agree that JJ hadn't played as well as he could have this series, but fake star? He's really pouring it on this game, at this point he's 6-7 from beyond the arc. He's got 27 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 5 steals.

Smith hasn't been taking dumb shots this game and he's produced. 21 points, 8 boards, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block.

And there's still like 7 minutes left.

Wow, I don't think that I've posted in here since the playoffs started..

Great win by the Hawks to send us to our first second round series in a decade.

Smith and Johnson were both really good, but Al needs to get it toghether or else the Cavs series is going to be ugly.

I don't think the Hawks have a chance of winning in Cleveland, but hopefully they can take care of their business at home and drag this series out longer than people expected.

I think the Hawks can take the Cavs to 6. The Hawks match up MUCH better with the Cavs than the Pistons did.

Smoove is really going to have to buckle down on defense and stop trying to be Kobe Bryant. I'd have to assume he's going to be covering LBJ, and if he can do some work the Hawks have the talent to steal a game or two.
