OK.

You are blowing this out of proprtion.

Not only are the Celtics up 2-1 in the series, they have narrowed it to a 3 point lead going into half time. Every team is going to lose in the playoffs at least once or twice. You cannot jump all over a team for losing ONE game.

I mean this team is full of veteran players, they will be able to turn it around.

I dont even think you can compare this series to the Dallas GState series. GState is a very good team, in my mind that wasnt that big a of an upset since all Western teams are closely matched.

Last years Dallas team doesnt even compare to this Boston team. Boston has the 4th best offensive effiency in the league, and the best defensive efficiency. Boston has won all year, they will find more ways to win in the playoffs.

KG, Ray Ray, and Pierce are all playoff veterans and know what it takes to get it done, where as the Hawks a fairly young and inexperienced. They will falter later in the series if not this game.

I still think you are blowing this out of proportion, the C's have a 2-1 lead and arent even losing that badly this game...

Boston isnt struggling with Atlanta. They lost ONE FREAKING GAME. Pull your underwear ourt of your butt and you will see that every team loses ONE game in the playoffs.

It is nearly impossible to sweep every series. And I kind of remember the Celtics holding the Hawks to under 90 the first 2 games. You werent talking back then...now where you?

If people are going to freak out about ONE loss, then I may as well say the Brewers have no shot at the playoffs now that they lost 10 GAMES! Because there arent 152 more...

It is the same with NBA, they have 4 more games to dominate the Hawks...

"The Celtics are SUPPOSED to hold the wingless Hawks to under 90. The Hawks would get swept by Denver in a series and Denver sucks."

Again, you are saying the most RIDICULOUS things! The nuggets won 50 games this season! They did this in the hardest conference, playing one of toughest schedules!

I really dont see Boston as having many weakness's. They were the best defensive team in the league, they were the 4th best offensive team in the league, they have the second most assists, they have a top 10 rebounding team. They shoot 48.8% effective field goal percentage, and have 3 superstars.

Now they actually have a bench too. Sam cassel has been through MANY playoffs and seen it all. The Big Baby is a great energy guy when on the floor, and Eddie House is a vet who can get it done.

So what they lost 2 games? They still have 3 games, quit flipping your **** and watch the rest of the games. To be honest I dont care if they win or lose. But I want people to stop freaking out about 2 losses...there are a lot more games to be played and every team is going to drop one or two at some point.
