Today I was supposed to post the thoughts on the second round of the playoffs but then Atlanta is still alive so I’m gonna postpone it… Atlanta is just cool; they’ve managed to hang on against a team that many feel would’ve easily swept them. If Boston loses Game 7, I’m gonna give every readers here a dollar, mark my word!

The title says it all. The player of the game stunned the Celtics, with the Hawks winning 97-92. Johnson was great. Period. He scored 35 points, 20 in the 4th quarter. We have a new clutch player stepping up on to the NBA scene. The Celtics yielded a 10 point lead beginning the 4th quarter, losing by 5, thanks to Joe Johnson.
