Nope, I read both recruiting boards, main basketball board, pro basketball, and the reds thread...

and reply to anyone that I feel that I can add insight too...The thing is late at night there aren't that many people posting so when I post in 7 different threads they are all up on the last posted threads...

I think this is more 60% Celtics overrated and 40% great effort by Atlanta.

The big 3, taken as individuals before their arrival in Boston, were not exactly known for winning big games or series. The only guy I see on that team thats really knows how to win is Cassel and he's older than dirt.

I think Boston will win game 7 but this is no fluke. I think the continued pressure will get them before they reach the finals. They just don't know how to handle the expectations imo.

C's issues: Garnett's crunch-time reluctance and Rivers' bench management

ATLANTA -- So let's get something straight from the start: The Boston Celtics will probably win. This is about as lopsided as a series can get and still be 3-3: The Celtics have outscored the Atlanta Hawks by 50 points over six games, and if they follow up with a 22-point win in Game 7 -- their average margin during the first three home games -- they'd finish the series with the same dominant plus-10.1 victory margin they had during the regular season.

Of course, there are no guarantees at this point. A hamstring pull or a bad call can tilt the game in a hurry. Especially when one team is playing with house money and the other has such enormous pressure.

But a bigger question may be what to make of the Celtics even if they do survive. While this series isn't nearly as big a taint on their record as some might imagine -- presuming they win Sunday -- the three defeats in Atlanta did bring up two major concerns that have lingered in Boston all season: Kevin Garnett's inability to produce in fourth quarters, and coach Doc Rivers' seeming inability to choose a lineup and stick with it.
