After watching this series go to a game seven, all I can say is your "Series Preview" serves as great comedy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-31847681648851890732008-04-21T10:52:00.000-04:002008-04-21T10:52:00.000-04:00First game was pretty much as expected.

Best case scenario is the Hawks almost win game 3 before falling by 10 points in the last 3 minutes. Grats to the Hawks for finally making it back to the playoffs. Now get a real bench and a real coach.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-40397271759748302152008-04-21T01:15:00.000-04:002008-04-21T01:15:00.000-04:00Okay, I watched the first game.

I'm willing to hang it in for this season.<BR/><BR/>The commentary from TNT was amusing, at least. Made it obvious that national NBA broadcasters don't know Mike Woodson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-66703137340895273122008-04-20T18:55:00.000-04:002008-04-20T18:55:00.000-04:00The Celtics were as bad as the Hawks for many year...The Celtics were as bad as the Hawks for many years. This year they made a bold, intelligent gamble in the trade market and the results speak for themselves. If Billy Knight had had the clue to draft Chris Paul instead of the bad joke that is Marvin Williams, the Hawks could be right there with the Celtics as one of the top 3 seeds in the east with an actual chance of making it deep in the playoffs. <BR/><BR/>Anyway I see reason for hope. The Hawks assuming they resign Josh Smith and Josh Childress have a core group that could consistently make the playoff. But they badly need a new coach who isn't scared to death of his players fouling out and will let his young bench players have playing time to develop instead of making Johnson and Bibby play 44 minutes a game. Oh and playing a bit of defense would help too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
