I must admit I'm shocked at the Hawks performance last night. I fully expected more of the same. But they proved to me they at least have some heart and can possibly make this series a little interesting. It's going to take winning Monday though to really convince me they are serious. But props to the Hawks for not quiting.
They win Monday and we're all vindicated for the moves we have made. Especially if the Suns and Nuggets get swept. Plus, that makes the Celtics look human. I said it before and I will say it again...all it takes to beat the Celts is to stand up to them. They hoot and holler and make a lot of noise, but if you can bully them a bit, they will crumble. Allen, Pierce, and KG are not clutch guys. Allen was a [censored] with Milwaukee always fighting with Glen Robinson, Pierce and Walker were little girls when they were together, and KG hasn't hit a big shot in his life. They are vulnerable. We might not be the team to beat them, but a dose of Orlando, Cleveland or Detroit (which may never happen at this rate) will. If they lose ONE home game, they could crumble like a house of cards.
