Paul Pierce = not clutch
I have full faith that the Celtics will pull out the series, but I just hope the Cavs can close out the Wizards Wednesday so they can watch the Celtics wear themselves out against the young quick Hawks. As good as the Celtics are they are an older team that will get worn down by long playoff series.

This was a huge win for the Cavs chances in round 2...I continue to watch the Hawks get offensive rebounds and thing that Z, Big Ben, Andy, and Joe Smith will be able to get those...
They weren't able to stop Joe Johnson one on one, not sure how they will stop LBJ...
West and Boobie will spread the floor...
We may struggle to guard both Pierce and Ray, but I think Wally, Brown, West, and Boobie will be able to guard Ray and LBJ can stay on Pierce...
You never know tho, if Atlanta could steal game 5, with what they have found that works, they might have a chance to steal this...It is a long shot, but you never know...Either way I would love to see this series go 6 to the Hawks or go the distance...
Johnson scores 35, Hawks surprise Celtics again 97-92
ATLANTA (AP)?The Boston Celtics were supposed to be resting up by now, getting ready for the next round of the playoffs.
Instead, they?re headed back to Beantown all tied up with the lowly Atlanta Hawks, who are starting to believe?really believe?they can shock the world.
Joe Johnson scored 35 points, 20 in the fourth quarter, and Josh Smith added 28 points and seven blocks for Atlanta, which surprised the Celtics again 97-92 on Monday night to even the best-of-seven series at two games apiece.

Oh great... I can see it now, Atlanta & Philly beat Boston/Detroit and the Cavs make the finals again and all the media "complain" that Cleveland got another easy route to the NBA finals

I would love to see a Cavs/Lakers Final. I think the Kobe vs Lebron battle would be epic and get huge ratings.
The BP bank is going to make some $$$ on this bet.

Atlanta has played very well the past two games.......Boston has been their typical self......this has nothing to do with coaching.....just a young team with nothing to lose feeding off their crowd and making some shots.....I expect a different type of game in game 5........
