What a hell? Another first round disappointment?
How can it happen? Is the Hawks that good?

I love the Hawks, but even I didnt think they would win more than 1 game... Joe Johnson and Josh Smith are playing incredible and it would be awesome to watch them pull the impossible

I would not feel as bad for last year's playoff upset if it was repeated by this Boston - Hawks series.

That said, I doubt it happens.

All I can say is it's about time Atlanta gained some respect. Not that they did anything to deserve any until now.

If they can upset Boston, it may take the spotlight off GS upsetting us, so that's another reason why it needs to happen. Boston won every regular season game but now it's up to Atlanta to win one on the road.

it would be a bigger upset than when we lost to GS. Boston won 66 games and Atlanta has a losing record. Also Boston has a potential 3 Hall of Famers (two for sure) and are supposed to be the best defensive team in the league. Losing this would be a much bigger upset than ours.

I wonder how the media would treat Boston though? Will they call them out like they did the Mavs last year? Basically said they have no heart etc etc. Will they do that to Boston? Will they lay the blame at Garnett, like they want to do to Dirk everytime they lose? I have a feelign we'll see some double standards going on.
