Favorite Playoff Moments

Well it's all over now, time to reflect a little. Here are my top moments (in no particular order).

1) Horford going after Paul Pierce. That set the tone for not just this series, but also next year. He showed that we will not back down from anyone. The team fed off that.

2) Joe Johnson for three in Game 6. The move that he put on Posey was SICK. Got him up in the air on the pump fake and then nailed the trey in between the double team.

3) Josh Smith. Finally the nation has gotten to see one of the most exciting and promising young talents in the league.

4) The fans. We provided one of the best atmospheres of the playoffs and the players fed off of it. I was lucky enough to be at Game 3 and meet some other board members thanks to Dallas. We must do it again next year! Game 6 was INCREDIBLE too, I had decent seats a few rows behind the basket and you couldn't even hear the person next you. The noise in the arena was deafening.

There are so many more great moments, this series was more than most of us ever dreamed of (a lot of us just wanted one win!). I was wondering what the best moments for you other guys were too, so feel free to share.

In no particular order:

Zaza vs KG
20 in the 4th
7 blocked shots
Zaza's victory speech
Josh's Game 3 dunk-a-thon
Joe's contested fadeaway 3 for the lead in game 6
The Crowd!
Boston's insecurity
Big Al's playoff double-double

and many many more.

There're so many great moments. My fav 5 in no particylar order :

* Josh Smith's 3s in game 3. I was always like, do not keep taking them please, and he kept knocking them down in a game where many thought we had no chance and all I wanted was 1 win. That game is the best I've ever been part of.

* JJ's 20 points in the 4th quarter of game 4. We know what it is to have Kobe now at least for a quarter.

* Horford celebrating and talking trash to Pierce when he knocked that jump shot down and PP was down on the floor.

* Zaza's reaction to Garnett's elbow.

* Our crowd. I was stunned to see what we can do as long as this team helps us a little bit.

Overall I think we tasted a bit of the playoffs and our organization, fans, and team fell in love with it. Let's keep building more memories in the years to come. LET'S GO HAWKS !
