Haha... as expected. Everything was just too much for the Hawks at Boston.

how did you watch game 7 sa bos - atl? wala lage sa TV... nya way lami ako sopcast dre hehe anyways
Boston plays terrific at home (they massacre the hawks by more than 20 pts per game) , but they seem to struggle at the road.
I believe there is a little disparity sa officiating sa Atlanta. I have been following the series closely since game 1.
The hawks have like 50+ more free throws than the celts in the series. They say it's because Boston is a jump shooting team.
Yes they have good shooters but i dont think so, just look at the points in the paint for the series, Boston actually leads in that department.

This dubious free throws for atlanta have allowed them to stay in the game, slowing Boston's momentum everytime Atlanta makes a rally.
Atlanta is a very good team, they have a future core to build, very athletic and a matchup problem for half court oriented teams like Boston.
But If you have more points in the paint yet the other team has 50+ more free throws than you, then maybe the NBA is intervening to bring basketball and $$$ back to Atlanta.

I'm glad you noticed that too. Phantom calls are called in both cases, at Boston and Atlanta, but a bit more dubious calls for the Hawks as compared to Celtics'. I followed the series from Game 1 also, read posts from forums that I visited that contains large number of NBA fans. They have noticed a lot also and came to a POINT that the NBA is "intervening" with the game.

I don't know about them though, but with all those blowout losses at Boston, I can say they were doing all those "drama" type by making the series extend to seven.

This whole thing about Atlanta enduring everything at Boston is pure joke. I almost jumped into the "upset bandwagon" but, again, the Hawks are Hawks.

About this last game, a Hawks fan from Phillips Arena posted that most of the young Hawks are "nervous". I guess they were not ready for Game 7 jud.

Overall, they played the worst game of their life. Like, barking and biting at home then just roll over and die when it matters the most.

Aper bro, you're right about phantom calls and if you notice, Pierce gets the most phantom calls doing what? ticky tack fouls by touching MArvin William's jersey or boxing out Zaza pachulia. But props to ATL they are a very young team and have a bright future ahead of them. Horford, Johnson and Josh Smith are keepers. Bibby was absent in this series, trade him in the offseason for a more consistent guard and a lock down defender (ala Artest) and this team is set. Ingun lage sa mga forums, the NBA is slowly becoming WWE, the high office makes it more exciting with scripts and all ehhe ... its all business and the Atl-Bos series was so high in the TV ratings.

On the Western Front, CP3 is shining right before our very eyes, and DAvid West - Man, i never thought he was this good offensively.. It's just 1 game but I really believe they have the tools to knock off the spurs!
