This Is Much Better Than Celtics vs. Hawks

We’ve had three overtimes, three games decided by less than five points, and Ben Gordon‘s own version of the big balls dance. Even without Al Horford screaming at Paul Pierce, this series has already one-upped last year’s first-round battle.

    Isn’t he an unrestricted free agent this summer? Payday

    Pierce never had a chance. lol, without KG the Celts are looking real naked, and even if they manage to get out the 1st round are they still resembling championship contenders? Chicago got some gunners that are out there tryna take Boston’s playoff lives: Rose has really impressed and BG is always good once a game for going unconscious; kudos to the Chi, they might even mess around and win the series, just because they simply don’t know any better.

    Gotta give it to Boston they know how to make it interesting.

    I still miss KG being in there.

    Why the fuck didn’t they foul Salmons – he had his back to the damn basket….

    But yeah this shit is crazy Good

    I didn’t like the celebration by Gordon, it’s kids watching (thumbs down)

    nice. but this aint better than the boston/atlanta series last year. that shit had far more excitement. even though atlanta couldn’t do shit in boston, they held it down in the ATL.

    they talked shit to the team with the best record in the league. they got in their faces. their whole arena was going crazy from start to finish.

    this is a good series, but last year was a better series. atlanta coming back from 0-2 down to force a game 7?!!? and the way in which they did it?!!?

    Nah Katz. you just sucking on the flavor of the moment

    @ E$

    “I didn’t like the celebration by Gordon, it’s kids watching”

    And I didn’t like the horrible grammar in that comment, because, you know, ‘it’s’ grown-ups reading…

    For those who live at the other side of the globe, it was worth waking up at 1am and missing half a day of work…

  9. JA says:

    Love the JVG dig right at the end: “… that is a Mike D’antoni action.”

  10. me says:

    RAY DIDN’T EVEN TRY TO FOUL SALMONS, he wasn’t told to foul him. lyin ass doc trying to deflect the blame. but yeah the bank shot and the 3 pointer both by bg were crazy.

    And yes this series is much better than ATL last year, every game (almost) could have gone either way. it could have easily been:

    4-0 boston,
    or 3-1 chicago right now.

  11. E$ says:

    Quedas – Don’t you mean English teachers are reading? A grown up has better things to worry about

  12. Mike says:

    i don’t think he was celebrating…
    he was just grabbing at his injured groin

  13. rick 773 says:

    @ sh!tfaced where are you at. In germany it came on at 7 pm

  14. w1ndel says:

    i liked his celebration very much, it’s a pitty that the nba became a kids league…

  15. Kermit The Washington says:

    What’s up with the celebration by Gordon? Didn’t someone get fined earlier this year for something similar? I remember something about a “lewd gesture” being made towards the fans…

    And on top of that, if you’re going to do a lewd celebration gesture like that, why would it be to your HOME CROWD? Isn’t that an opposing crowd thing?

    andrew katz

    in time of recession, how is a guy like you still holding your spot in DIMES.

    this is much better than Hawks vs Celtics??

    I don’t see Aaron Gray going up in KG’s face and talk shit
    I don’t see Joakim Noah hit a jumper and yell at PP
    I don’t see PP throwing up a blood sign at the bulls
    I don’t see Ben Gordon breaking Powe’s ankle and drain a 3

    Only highlight is Rose Vs Rondo, 2 future PGs that will join classes with CP3 and D-Will

  17. rick773 says:

    @ kevin K I gotta disagree with you.

    1. How many of the Hawks game came down to a final possesion. Out of 4 games three could’ve easily went either way meaning the Celtics could’ve swept the Bulls or the Bulls could’ve been up 3-1 right now.

    2. How is the only highlight Rondo vs Rose when Gordon and Allen went in in game 2.

    3. Only reason the Hawks vs Celtics may be more exciting is because it went 7. In reality all but maybe 2 games were decided by ten or more points. And nobody thought ATL would win on the road because they we’re losing at Boston to the tune of 20 pts per game.

  18. BERN BROGDEN says:

    KEVIN K – I disagree too buddy.

    THIS IS WAYYYYYYYYYY BETTER!

    It was better ONCE Da Bullz grabbed that FIRST DUB, ON THE ROAD!

    Atlanta NEVER EVER EVER DID THAT last year.

    They held home court and THAT’S IT!
