BOSTON, May 4 (AP) -- Kevin Garnett took a behind-the-back pass from Paul Pierce, slammed in the dunk to give Boston a 36-point, third-quarter lead and then told the Garden crowd what the Atlanta Hawks already knew.

Bring on Lebron!
Published 5/5/2008 by Alessandro at Parquet Wishes and Leprechaun Dreams
... Okay, everyone take a deep breath ... Now that this sordid little business with the Hawks is over and done with - and that was quite the exclamation point the Celtics laid down on Atlanta (nba.com) to wrap up the series - we can all cleanse ourselves of any thoughts about "biggest upset in NBA playoff history" or "first-round chokers" and instead re-focus our energies upon the Cleveland Cavaliers. ...

Much Respect Due

Last and certainly not least, a shout out goes out to Hawks fans everywhere. The Phillips Arena was absolutely rocking all series long and it was a major boost to your team.
