 Why Hawks Will Ruin Celtics Title Hopes...And observations from Game 3. | The Blue Workhorse  Links4
Watching Kevin Garnett during shootaround is nearly worth the price of admission. For at least 4 or 5 minutes, he shot elbow and elbow extended jumpers and rarely touched the rim.“The Big Ticket” is almost as impressive shooting free throws. He was 10-11 Saturday, and his miss was his only one of the series. Al Horford is a beast on the glass. He’s averaging 11 boards to go with his 15.3 ... [link]

Boston Celtics vs. Atlanta Hawks - Open Game Thread: Game 4
Published 4/28/2008 by Jim at Green Bandwagon: Front Page Posts

It's better to get this out of our system now?

... have their confidence rattled right off the bat - rather than against a battle-tested group like the Pistons or Spurs - so that they can be better prepared for the challenges that lie ahead on the "Drive for 17" (TM). Still, when the team with the league's best record suddenly can't hold onto a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter against the friggin' 37-45 Atlanta Hawks, you can't help but be a little concerned ...

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.
