Immediately following tonight's game, Cheryl Miller interviewed Kevin Garnett. They talked about getting back to playing "Celtics Basketball", and what that meant. Mainly, KG said (and I'm paraphrasing), that it meant playing unselfishly, giving yourself on both ends of the court and keeping your   more...

Celtics turn back the Hawks - who were using aggressive tactics. The Hawks were handicapped by Bibby's lame comments regarding "bandwagon" fans. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Looking at last years attendance figures and records for all the NBA teams, you can see in the table below that   more...

...As we've seen anytime a Celtic falls to the floor KG sprinted over to help Leon, but instead of pulling Leon to his feet, KG began punching Leon in his ribs and stomach (and no, I'm not making this up). He then helped Leon to his feet, and as Leon turned to head back towards the Boston bench KG   more...

The lowly eighth-seeded below .500 Atlanta Hawks could be the team that ultimately leads to the demise of the all-powerful Celtics. How is that? How could a 37-45 squad bring down the dominant 66-16 team that beat them in five consecutive contests prior to Game 3 of the first round?

...these guys have come together for one common goal -- becoming NBA Champions. They're not here to have some minor success and win some moral victories. They want rings. And across the court, with their ugly mohawks and highlight-reel dunks, are a group of guys who are standing directly in the   more...

The Celtics flew to Atlanta and apparently left their defense in Boston. There was no sight of the league's best defense in this game as the Celtics allowed the Hawks to shoot 47% for the game and 56% from beyond the arc. Apparently the Celtics left their effort in Boston also as they allowed the   more...

Mike Bibby, who was completely outplayed by Rajon Rondo on Saturday, called Celtics fans "fair weather fans" and said that last season "they were all wearing bags over their heads."Where do I even start with this? Hate to break it to ya Bibster, but we've been here all along. We were upset last   more...

"I Love That Little Man" I shouted that in the first quarter when Rajon Rondo came up with a huge defensive rebound over Pachulia and Josh Smith, ripping the ball away, mid-air from the much larger Hawks. I shouted it again on the next play as KG found Rondo loitering unnoticed underneath the hoop   more...

As I watched the young Atlanta Hawks win two home games against the far more experienced Celtics, I wondered – what would it take to turn Atlanta into a serious contender?My first thought would be to build a time machine and go back to the '05 draft and take Chris Paul instead of Marvin Williams.   more...

The Celtics didn't disappoint in their first playoff game against the Atlanta Hawks. They led 29-21 after 1 and 49-40 at the half, but blew the game out in the third quarter to lead 73-55 at the end of 3. The final score was 104-81. In the first and second quarters, the Celtics allowed the Hawks to   more...

Tonight's playoff games featuring the Pistons and Celtics as heavy favorites served as an interesting contrast. For all their bluster about knowing what playoff pressure is all about, the Pistons let an inferior opponent get back in a game they should have put away. On the other hand the Celtics   more...

It is pretty obvious to all involved that the Hawks are over matched in this series. Mike Bibby has taken it on himself to put some life into it by first attacking the fans and calling them bandwagon jumpers and fair weather fans and last night, before the game, he increased his attack to include   more...
