True but he looked so stoppable. Throwing up those mid-range floaters like that, right in-between 2 players.

This sentiment was re-iterated by coach Doc Rivers during his post-game press conference. Rivers said that when he walked into the locker room players were half-heartedly re-assuring himself that “things would be fine” as soon as they got back home, as if that was the elixir to fix their ills. But Rivers was spot on when he told them, “YOU have to make it right, it’s not going to happen on its own.”

no need to overanalyse( doc being overcoached etc.), overpanick, their 3 HoF's were not ready to fight that is all. And atl has played way above their level, such things in NBA wont last long.

The Celtics 4th quarter/clutch game stategy is all wrong. Their two main problems are 1/ Only PP can create his own shot, and 2/ they rely on Garnett way too much in crunch time when the ball should be going to Ray Allen. He's by far their best "clutch" player.

Also PP is injured, don't know how much that's playing a role if at all.

If ATL can steal Game 5, BOS should be scared. Other than that it'll go either 6 or 7 and then they get a more preferable match-up (same as the Pistons), but we'll see if either team has anything left.

A funny quote from Joe Johnson regarding KG,

Quote:

And, when you think about it, any series with Kevin Garnett automatically qualifies as a verbal series.

"That's all he does is talk," Johnson said of Garnett. "He talks probably every play. A lot of time he talks to himself. It's crazy."

And KG Pistons related quote

Quote:

“Joe Johnson’s (expletive) the most underrated player in our league besides Rasheed Wallace,” Kevin Garnett said. “Most underrated player in our league. I give it to him, he played his (butt) off.”

Ray Allen couldn't stay in front of Joe to save his life.

The pick and roll defense that he and Rondo displayed was horrible.

ESPN actually shows Doc on the sideline after one play yelling "Damn you Ray!"

Celts don't look quite so scary now, do they?

I don't know how anyone can be overconfident after Golden State knocked off Dallas last year. So what if the Hawks are playing over their heads like the 6ers. They just have to win 4 out of 7.

How weird is it that these eastern conference matchups have been more interesting than the first round in the West? I never would have guessed that going in to the playoffs...
