Series Thread: 4) Atlanta Hawks (48-34) vs 5) Boston Celtics (48-34)

Hawks up ten!

 

[Demonjoe93]

As bad as we played for much of that half, we're up by eight. Bodes well. Need to keep it up though. We've seen what happens when the Hawks get complacent.

Wonder how the NBA playoffs would play out if all games were on neutral courts.

God knows that little bitch gets away with so much.

That's cause he's Smart.

@WiggyRuss
Whats up with Kareem Abdul Horford?

 

[Demonjoe93]

Yes!

 

[bksballer89]

Wow this is amazing.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Celtics are having a meltdown.

Celtics are having a meltdown.

The trend of road teams out East melting down continues....Hopefully Charlotte does tomorrow night

 

[Demonjoe93]

I wonder if we traded Teague, if we could afford to sign Durant and re-sign Horford. I like Teague, but I would love to let the Schroeder era start and get Durant in the process.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Thomas is hurt. Why the hell did he have to foul to get out? Where was Stevens?

Oh God, not another injury.

I hate the Celtics (and most of their players), but I hate even more to see players get hurt.

Yeah, it's a damn plague on point guards.

Cavs better put Kyrie in bubble wrap.

Good win.

Looks like I was wrong about this series.

Getting Durant would be awesome.

If you don't, Bazemore deserves a raise.

I think it's definitely possible to get him. The only question will be does he want want to play here. We've had trouble getting stars to come here in the past.

Like the NCAA tourney?

Interesting...some Teams feed off the home crowd.

But, the greats love to put on a show in hostile territory.

I don't think anyone knows what Durant is looking for.

Do you think him on this roster is a step up to him with the Thunder?

I will say, it would be a easier path to the Finals than having to deal with the Spurs and Warriors every year.

Wherever he goes, he wants to be the man.

He won't want to live in Curry or Kawhi's shadow.....imo

It very well might be a better roster as a whole. He'll have a potential star (in my opinion, anyway) in Schroeder, Korver, Millsap, and Horford, which is three guys who have made the All-Star game in recent seasons. Now, none of those guys are as good as Westbrook, but they're four solid players that'll look amazing with a guy like Durant on the court with them. In addition, he won't have to deal with the Spurs and Warriors, neither of whom are going away in the future and are better teams than the Thunder. I think if the Hawks were to do this, the only team in the East that would be a remote threat to that roster would be Cleveland.

If Hardaway keeps dunking someone's gonna give him a flagrant.

Let's hope Smart stays on the bench.
