Unreal: Hawks Shock Celtics Again

I'm once again stunned. How did this happen? Lets start with the fourth quarter.

By double teaming Joe Johnson every time down the floor, he was able to set up all his teammates for open looks all game long. That led to a huge run in the fourth that put Boston on its heals and gave the Hawks the lead. The foul call on Pierce was horrible, but even worse was him losing his cool to give them another technical free throw.

What was Ray Allen thinking taking that 3 that quickly? From Doc's reaction, that wasn't the play that he called up. Still, Doc can't escape blame for not putting them in position to make the right play. Not to mention the very last play where there was a complete lack of plan, execution, or awareness.

KG: DPOY? OMG< BS! GOHKS!!!



They are not ready!!!!!!!!! Its a whole new season now

They are not ready!!!!!!!!! Its a whole new season now

this is where upsets happen!

but i guess celtics gonna get out and face spurs in the finals!

Celtics will come through!

GO HAWKS it ain't over til it's over. Boston is weak, what can I say. The future hall of famers are looking a little frazzled. That is what they get for underestimating the Hawks. What bothers me is that still some haters out there not wanting to give the Hawks their due. They have forced a game 7 on the so called best team in the league, at least record wise, now what does that say about them. They are young team with a lot of heart, that refuses to back down. PGA this is the NBA.

They ain't so weak today, are they? Looks like ATL is very weak today.


ha, city of champions huh lol

LOL in BOSTONS FACE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

city of ch ch ch CHEATERS...Losers... LOL

people from Boston must feel like such IDIOTS

great point jared360! They must feel really bad after having the Patriots, Red Sox, Bruins, and Celtics all make the playoffs. Seriously, keep those comments coming.

bragging about the Pats??? LOL...You CANT be serious, I thought Boston realized that EVERYONE else looks at their Super Bowl trophies as JOKES. I figured you guys did too afer you coach admitted he had to cheat to win....Must suck going from feeling on top of the world, to the bottom of the barrell and a complete JOKE to the rest of the COUNTRY....LOL@allmadden

Good point jared....are you from the skip bayless school of journalism...thanks for speaking for the whole country...Do you reallt think we feel like idiots. 5 championships in 5 years. what do you got?

First off, see spluffy's comment.... Now, yes CelticPride( LOL@ having to say Celticpride), maybe you've been living underneath a rock, in a cave, with Binladen, the past year or so, but your "classless" Patriots's organization, or Belichick , admitted to CHEATING to win football games. PERIOD. Nothing to argue about, its a FACT. And YES I do actually speak for the whole country, or as I call it "EVERYONE who's not been living under a rock, in a cave, with, you." Notice your in a "Celtics" post and no ones even agreeing with you. Sorry man, yea your B-Ball squad signed some a great player and a good player, but the rest of the WORLD views your PATS as nothing but an ANNOYING JOKE. The Patriots aka "NFL laughing stock" have A TON of work ahead of them, before anyone in the real world even begins to think about taking them seriously, let alone gives them ANY respect...Oh yea and good luck with the upcoming Walsh meeting, you better pray he doesnt have one little thing that Belichick hasnt already admitted too, or your team will NEVER get respect again...Period. Well either way it probably won't...CHEATING and only beat the EAGLES by 3 in the Super Bowl...How much wold that suck to get all those trophies, and then one day they mean NOTHING. Sorry man the "Dynasty" is over....wait actually it NEVER existed LOL

God....seriously you pathetic philly fans are always on the offensive, You havent won S#*T in 25 years and all you do is dominate the Blogs and make sure that point is heard. All i ask for is that my teams are in the mix of the playoffs but, you wish you were a beantown fan.....Have fun with your NFC championships. I hope they keep you warm at night.

I thought this was a basketball blog. Do I need to look at title again? What do the Celts have to do with the Pats? Come on. They are ahead by 34 now in Game 7 and I haven't seen any cheating yet.

I didnt know you were a Celtics fan 5? Or are you not, and just coming into a room again to argue with me? Like seriously I try to be cool to you dude, but your an old man who acts like someone MY age, and for real, its embarrassing. If your tryin to act like you dont think BOSTON CHEATS and that their city is viewed by the rest of the country as a JOKE, than your the ONLY person in the U.S. out side of Boston who thinks that way....But something tells me if the cowboys would have recently made it to a super bowl and lost by 3 points to a team who ADMITTED they're cheaters, you'd have a problem to. Well, maybe you wouldnt, I almost forgot that you can do no wrong...now i dont wanna hear you whining again about getting bashed by Eagles fans when our sole purpose for leaving comments is to argue...shouldnt someone your age be like, doing things during the day like taking care of kids/grand kids instead or arguing with people theyre same age????

integrity, i'd guess.

Even if Boston moves to the 2nd round, you gotta give it up for the Hawks!!!! When the whole world counted them out, they shocked everybody!!!!(even me)

I give mad respect to the hawks...i always thought that young athetic teams are gonna give the celtics trouble. We have an older team but i would never count out the 8 seed because they can run the celts into the ground. Its up to the celtics to step up and play good team D on the road. thats it ....by the way....how is that NFC championship doing?...philly cheesteak suckas!!

It's amazing how poorly boston played. Hawk's did much better. I also felt like Boston got frustrated at the end, and started getting foul calls one after the other because they were trying to play such hard d. I think their d needed work, but seriously, can someone make a layup in the 4th quarter on Boston's end sometimes? All we saw was KG's short fade aways.

yea, u wish u could eat a cheesesteak right now cpride
