This time the C's don't fade down the stretch and make all of those "hardcore long-time" Hawks fans go home sad.

Best road record in the league=know how to win on road.
After last night and the previous 2 losses, they'll get it done!

PS Unrelated, but how weak was the crowd in Boston last night?

If we double JJ like we did last night, guard the pick and roll the way we did, and prevent leakouts like we did then we will win. It will be close because the Hawks will make a few runs (unlike last night), but ultimately I think the way Pierce dominated those switches on Bibby for easy buckets has destroyed the zone that perplexed us for a while.

Celtics did what they had to do in game 5, stomp the Hawks' guts out. Now it's time to finish the job in Hotlanta. The Celtics and Pistons will both wrap it up in 6 and all the handwringing and nonsense can end. It's hilarious to read how much has been written about the two Atlanta games but I guess a possible upset is always a huge story.

This, my friend, is the key.
Also, didn't you love how the Cs denied the fast-breaks last night? I was jumping out of my chair with every stop!

Am I confident that we will win the game? No. Why? The start of the 3rd quarter yesterday.
I was so disappointed by how we played after coming out of the break. No energy, no intensity, no urgency, we came out totally flat.
Hopefully guys will finally realize that in order to win in the playoffs on the road we need to be focused and composed for the whole 48 minutes of the game.
Go, C`s!!!

WWHHHAATTT??!?!?! In what way were we weak? We were loud as hell all night, clearly got into Bibby's head, and Joe Johnson was afraid to go near the paint after he and KG got into that little thing. Not to mention the "Your A Pu$sy" chant to Horford. The Garden was rockin last night, make no mistake about it.

Boston is favored to win game 6 by 8 points. It should be another fun and exciting game considerings it's returned to Atlanta.

(this is not directed at you but the statement in general)
I've heard all the analysis say this and guess what. If we don't win a single game in on the road for the entire playoffs.. this team can still be the NBA champions.
I could give a **** if the Celtics got swept on the road in the playoffs if we still walk away with the rings!
We're the best **** team in teh league, and that means we don't have to beat ANYONE on the road they have to beat us in OUR HOUSE. And so far in the playoffs we've done what's needed to be done to the tune of 20+ points per game. Absolute blowouts. So as far as I'm concerned I'm fine not winning on the road as long as we continue to dominate teams at our house.
