Hotlanta Respect

At the beginning of this series (and pretty much throughout the first two games), I was pretty outspoken in my confidence in the Celtics and their superiority. In fact, I made a wager with a Hawks blogger to write 300 words on the greatness of the Hawks for every game they won. [link]

While the Hawks probably won't win the series it is possible they might win their home games. If the moon and stars alien right. They did show all BB fans their potiential. They will only get better over the next three years. Josh Smith is the most entertaing player in the league. That kid has hops. Watch this young team when you get the chance, as they mature.

In retrospect, I don't even know what set me off. It's two days later, and I can't remember for the life of me. Maybe it was the fact that the boys in green were losing, which meant I was frustrated.

Well, I'm not bored anymore. Tonight will be interesting to say the least. This is the first test of the post season. I hope they pass. Can't help but think that the emotion of game 3 was a carryover from game 2. The Hawks made things chippy with their physical play and the Celtics let them know in no uncertain terms who was winning by 20 points.

I could give you a bunch of excuses about why the Celtics lost this game. We could go over the officiating, the shot clock issues, or Sam Cassell's poor shot selection in the 4th. But that would simply not give the Hawks enough credit. I have to hand it to them, they came out and played a fantastic game.

Is Paul Pierce Throwing Gang Signs?

At first I thought this was something harmless... until people saw this video and said in the comments that Paul Pierce threw a gang sign at Al Horford after the rookie's crazy, taunting outburst. My first inclination is to say no way.... but.... I don't really know about these things. Remember... I'm a blogger... I'm in my mom's basement. Please don't kill me.
