Celtics Win Game 7 in a Blowout
LOY's PLACE a celtics green blog —
... With just over 2 minutes to play in the 3rd, KG set a great pick and dropped Pachulia to the ground, allowing Rondo to run past. It was great. KG didn't take the bait this time when Pachulia came after him and just kept his arms across his chest. Doc wisely took KG out of the game at that point giving him that last play to savor as he prepares for the Cavs. Game 1 is Tuesday night at 8:00 PM ET.

... Youkilis had led off the previous inning with solo shot into the batter’s eye. The ball trampolined off the black tarp like Lucky the Leprechaun during the Celtics’ halftime show. (I needn’t have been so fretful about the cross-town roundballers, thankfully, as they embarrassed the upstart Hawks 99-65.) ...

Had the Hawks converted some of their interior field goals attempts (or if Josh Smith had picked an opportune moment to renounce the complicated layup and found religion in terms of dunking on people) and grabbed a reasonable percentage of defensive rebounds in the first quarter the result would have remained in doubt later ...

... Worst Loss (Post Season):
Celtics 99,
Hawks 65 - Overall, the Hawks should be very proud of their work in the
first round against the Celtics, but I'd be lying if I said Game 7 wasn't a huge
disappointment. Atlanta could never get it going offensively in Boston, but in
Game 7 in particular every shot seemed to rim out or fall short. The Hawks would
have made the Celtics sweat if they'd been able to keep it close, but they never
had the opportunity after scoring only 26 points in the first half. Hopefully
the bitter sting of the loss will be ample ...
