I'm shocked by Boston. The number 8 team that didn't even get a .500 season is contending with the number 1 team that won 67 games. Is this Dallas 2007 all over again?

I'm surprised at the breakdown of the Celtics down the stretch in Atlanta. They just can't get it done. But I have to give the Hawks credit. They've clawed their way to wins. I can't say they play good basketball, though. Their offense isn't pretty, but it makes it tough for the Celtics to defend. They get a lot of points from driving to the basket and either throwing up a shot that bounces around and goes in or drawing a foul and going to the line (47 free throw attempts to Boston's 25). I don't want to say they get lucky all the time, but it's hard to call it sound basketball. It's enough to frustrate the Celtics and get the win, though. But it's not something that will get them to win consistently, especially on the road. They get trounced on the road because when they don't have the same adrenaline, their shots don't fall, and they don't get as many calls. They don't trounce the Celtics in their wins.

Having said that, the Celtics should have still been able to beat them on the road. They had lapses that shouldn't have happened. Doc's rotations not only break continuity on offense but on defense as well. I really don't like it when I only see one starter on the floor in a close game. That's just asking for trouble. I'm not sure what he's saving his guys for. This is not the time to rest them. I think it's more exhausting to play more games than to play a few more minutes in a game. Pierce had foul trouble, but nobody else had more than 4.

no it won't be the celts will win game 7 easily

#1

Maybe. Nevertheless, this is still a shock to pretty much every NBA fan, myself included, I didn't expect more than 1 win, if that, from the Hawks. Game 7 will be very interesting.

I have to agree with you but this is where the hawks cinderella run ends I am afraid, I was surprised that this series has gone far

Pay Ton

Gotta agree.

I mean, I'm fairly certain the Celtics can pull off Game 7, and easily at that, but still this has got to be a concern going forward.

The Celtics defense on the road in the 4th Quarter (let alone the entire game) has been absolutely pathetic. You've got to think Lebron James, who thrives in the 4th Quarter of games, is licking his chops.

Celtics don't even look like a contender right now. This looks like a 4-5 first round matchup as opposed to a 1-8.

not at all worried.
infact i see a game 7 replay of the suns-lakers series where it was close until game 7 then the suns won by 30 something. Pierce is gonna come out hot too. Only coaching change id like to see is Sam Cassell starting game 7 and getting more minutes. and can you tell why in the hell rondo would take a horrible shot like that with 4 seconds remaining...house, cassell, and posey on the court....stupid.

Would you have prefered Rondo to turn the ball over by trying to make an impossible pass to one of the shooters? Those guys did little to nothing to get open and Rondo was stuck having to shoot.

Cassell has been awful every time I have seen him play since he got to Boston.

How will they will a championship if they cant beat an 8th seed hawks team? Even if they win tomorrow, they prove they dont have the experience to beat harder teams. P.S. If the hawks win, i'll die of laughter.

you celtic fans have no right to worried with the team you have

BlazerFan22

I agree. Even if the Celtics do win tomarrow it still took them 7 games to beat the 8th seed hawks. On another note lets not forget the Hawks are playing with nothing to lose and the Celtics are.

says a nets fan lol
