Indeed. They got blown out in every road game, but the fact that they even won one game shocked most of the sports media. Winning three was just unbelievable.
We have met the enemy, and he is us.

It's not like any of their fans thought they'd get to the second round at the beginning of the season, so you have to say this season was a complete success.

Congrats indeed....I said after Boston went up 2-0 that this series should be voided. @least the games in Atl were entertaining!

Thanks for the kind words. It was definetely a season to remember, it's been too long since we've experienced one of those.

Congratz Hawks. I am relieved you did not win of course, but you can be sure you beat all the arrogance out of the Celtics in that series.

Now other teams will be able to see what the Hawks did right. If the Hawks can take the Celtics to 7 games, the Celts are in trouble. They did take care of business, though, and the Hawks showed why they're 8th seed. 29% from the field, damn.

It was impressive considering that I think 90% of all experts, posters, hell bookies at Las Vegas expected the C's to sweep.

Hawks used superior athleticism.

I don't think Cleveland has that outside of one player

Boston has been exposed anyways, almost losing to the hawks just proves their not the best team in the playoffs, even if they did have the best record.

That's giving no credit to Hawks accomplishment.

Not like Cleveland and Detroit cruised by in their series. Both of those series could have gone 7 games as well.

I think Boston is still the favorite to at least go to the Finals. Perhaps not to win it, but they should def represent.


Cleveland will not win a game in Boston either.
