Rise up Atlanta!

I have read posts on the Boston board from some key posters over here conceding defeat, and thus, fueling this Celtics "sweep" fire.

I am going to say this to my Hawks fans....yes, we've lost some close ones that we should have won. Yes, we have committed silly turnovers. Yes, Woody's an idiot....and at times he looks confused. But we have NOT seen him coach a playoff game and we have not seen our players play in a playoff atmosphere, so in all fairness, give the guys a chance to see if we can will this team to victory. How many victories? Let's wait and see. I am taking that approach from here on out.

Yes, I have questioned our chances....but I have done it on this board only.

I'm just saying....let's rally behind our team. Let the chips fall where the may.

This is a new season.

I been saying who cares if we look like idiots, this is my team.

Plus I have found respect in Woody, just because he said that line about "as soon as we win the title this year", that is awesome. I am behind him on that line. :clap:

If we do that, then I wouldn't mind having Mr. Potato Head back.

Yeap...exactly.

The last time Woody was in the playoffs....albeit he was an Assistant....but the last time he was in the playoffs in 2004, Detroit won title. :nod:

Maybe this guy is a different coach in the postseason....we shall see!

If we lose to the Celtics everyone will blame Woody regardless. He better have some serious tricks up his sleeve if we're going to compete in a seven game series.

Yeah and his playing 6 to 7 guys a game is a playoff line-up I thought. I thought you don't go deep in your bench, you play your best 6-7 guys. That is what the Suns do atleast.

If Woodson can coach his butt off and lead the team to an upset of the Celtics, I think he gets an extension. If he doesn't, he gets shown the door.

I don't really like Woodson as a coach, but I'm fine with either outcome. If the Hawks pull the big upset he should get rewarded (it's that big of an upset). However he is starting so far in the hole I don't think a nice showing will overcome the track record he's got.

P.S. once he shaves that head someone on the team should give him a little black bowler like Mr. Potato Head.

I hate the cavs for stealing Rise Up. Its their copyright laws or something?? Get Fired Up would be perfect for the heat/suns. But I guess now we need to stick with it. Philips Arena has the potential to be a very hard place to play.

Are we getting shirts or anything for game 3?
