Time To Panic, Celtics Fans [Celtics Woe]

... to absorb.
Not even Hawks fans understand what's happening.
From where we were coming home after Game 2 to where we are now, it's just night and day. I'm trying to think of an adjective to describe the win and the energy in the building, but the Thesaurus is failing me, so I am forced to make up my own words. It was spectnomenal.

"Boston Sucks! Boston Sucks!"
legendofcecilioguante.com 4/29/2008 — How often do sports fans get to chant something as fun as "Boston Sucks, Boston Sucks!" in their sportsfan lives? For us folks in Phatlanta, it ain't very often. Granted, the Celtics are more than capable of destroying the Hawks over the course of the next two (and hopefully three) games.
