Series Thread: #1 Boston Celtics vs. #8 Atlanta Hawks

And BG7, you wish you had KG on your team.

 

I hope Marvin plays. He's might be the most important player in game 7 for the Hawks. With them probably doubling Joe, we'll need his mid-range shooting, if we have a shot at winning game 7.

 

Whats the news on Marvin?


Didn't they say he had a sprained knee, but then he came back on in the last minute I believe.

 

he's doubtful

 

Yeah I wouldn't want him to risk his knee for the game, he's young and will be needed for the next couple of years when the Hawks become a force in the East.

 

If we win, we are the force in the East. And it's nothing to bad that I think will stop Marvin from playing. This is one of the biggest games of his entire career, he'll want to play.

 

He'll have bigger games in the future, trust me. You don't want to re-injure your knee and then mess up your career. I'm pretty sure the Hawks will make it out of the East in 2 to 4 years, during which time, he'll have to play big games (together with horford and smith), so this is not the end of the world. Its a great experience for them and they should learn from it.


As for them winning the game, if they do, I would agree that they would beat the Cavs easily, and then have trouble with Detroit (but they're beatable as well).

 

Everyone wants an underdog to win, and I know the Hawks can do that. I'm predicting a Hawks win. 104-102 is my prediction. Johnson will have his way and the Celtics will be sent packing. It was a great regular season, but like the Mavs, you're just not ment for the playoffs.

Guys have played through worse, and he's young, he should be able to play through it. If he can't, he can't. I fully expect him to though. He knows how important this game is, he'll want to win and he'll want to play.

 

Marvin has won a National Championship, hes played in big games, you want him in games like these

 

LOL at calling the Hawks a force in the East. They had 37 wins. They're just beating a team built around three career losers. Lets see them beat Lebron or the Pistons first before we call them a force.

 

its confirmed Marvin is playing

 

As much as I hate to say it, I don't think the Hawks will win today. Game 7, in Boston? I just don't see it happening, especially with the amount of inexperience on that squad. But then again, NOBODY expected this series to go the 7 games, so anything can happen.

Go Hawks!

 

I'm really pulling for the Hawks to win this one. There will be tons of pressure on the Celtics today to win on their home court.

 

hawks have no experience thats going to kill them, paul pierce the blood is on fire

What does experience have to do with anything? Are Ray Allen, KG and PP game 7 vets? It's all about 1 game and who wants it more. Experience has nothing to do with anything. It's about who is playing better and coaching more then experience.

 

Experience is a big factor in the playoffs Shake...

 

BG7, you wish you had any of the big 3 on your team. (i'm sure you wouldn't call them losers then)

 

The Bulls aren't a force in this league that's for sure.

Smoove needs to get it going, and Marvin needs to take more shot

 

This game is done unfortunately. It was a nice run Hawks people.
