Well you see...when you're in a 3 way tie working hard for playoff position and you lose a game you should've won..it bugs you a bit.

One thing is being upset about a controversial finish. The displayed behavior in many cases goes far beyond that rational.

Anyway, let's save it for the 100000s of existing threads on this subject that are already out there.

should have won? is there actually a such a thing in the NBA as games you "should" win?

It will be a clean sweep unless Josh Smith prays to God for a jumpshot. The Celtics will play on him missing that every time.

Honestly? I can't see this series being anything other than a Celtics sweep.

I think the Hawks match up really badly with the Celtics. I'd be surprised if any of the games was within 8 points.

It's so frustrating because he can get to the rim against anyone. The last game was the most jump shots he had ever taken in a game (by far) and when he went to the rim he was successful more times than not.

Anyways, I'm still hoping for the 7th seed. We have two games against Philly and we're 2-0 against them so far (granted they were before their streak). We can cut it to a 1 game lead and just hope we win one more game than them the rest of the way.

Celtics sweep....

though if Vegas favors Atlanta in one of their home games it'd probably be a bad idea to bet against them.

Yeah it's just an outdated term. The past three years it's been called [your team here] is facing the Knicks tonight.

They'd have to win 12 games to get to the Finals... or did you mean the ECFs?

I'm sure he meant ECF....but that would mean that would have to sweep LeBron & company :crazy:

I'm not saying they will sweep the Cavs but its definitely possible. The Cavs got swept last season.

As a Hawks fan, we need to get the 7th seed at all cost

Beating Boston would be pulling off the biggest upset in sports history.

Upsetting a team 4 times in a 7 game series that is clearly superior to us and as hungry as can be with 3 star players dying for a ring.

Not to mention the terrible matchups

If we don't catch Philly,Toronto, or Washington we will be lucky to be even close in any of the games vs Boston

Detroit we can keep games at least close
