Yes. But I'm even more confident that they, nor anyone else, can't beat the Lakers.

As someone who's stuck with the team...watching the games...and year after year of no playoffs.

I'm just happy that 'confidence' about winning a World Championship is an issue, haha.

Just glad they're relevant in the main stream, again.

This is just a minor setback for them........

They will win the next two games against ATL and nobody in the East will upset them on their way to the Finals.

In the league where they play for pay no substitute for young legs..Cassel, Garnett, Allen, Pierce all great players but on the back nine..These young Hawks can fly, are athletic, and come to play..Can they gather group maturity and win on the road??..we shall see..

I'm a big time Celtic fan, have been for years.

I don't think they are a lock to make it to the finals.

Sadly, I think the Lakers are playing better ball right now than they
are too.

They will be challenged in round 2 and 3. These may be closer than those in Boston realize. Still odss on FAV, IMO.

I actually thought there was no way Boston would make it past Detroit so I didnt ever think they are going finals....but looking at Detroit, they are sucking wind.....I like the chances of this orlando team.

I dont know about the Celts goin to the Finals?...But I would say that they come out next game in Boston with a seek and destroy mentality towards this Hawks club...Will see if Atlanta can match their intensity?

I voted not anymore

Actually they just dont look like themselves. I dont know why this is.

It's been agonizing to watch these last 2 games.

Weird...with the logic, how the hell do the Spurs keep winning?!?!?!

I know you threw Cassell in there to support your argument...but should be Rondo, as he is the starter playing 30+ mins.

For some reason the Celts are playing into the Hawks strengths. Why are they allowing the Hawks to play an uptempo game? They could easily change that by going into a slowdown halfcourt game which has been key to their success this year. If they are going to try to prove something to Atlanta and beat them at their game they are asking for trouble. Hawks are not a good team but they have alot of talented athletes - they will be a good team next year, still some maturity issues.
