the hawks are pathetic and have no business being in the playoffs.  sweep

Exactly, It really is terrible to have to risk possible energy in such a futile series against a worthless opponent.

I'm sure the Pacers felt exactly the same way about the Celtics in 2004.

Great game. Well worth the wait.

Plus Detroit lost. ;D

Ditto.  And ditto.
My wife and I just drank a couple mimosas in celebration of the game 1 win.  Here's hoping we drink a whole heckuva lot more mimosas this spring!!   8) 8)


I hope y'all end up drunker than hell! ;D

By the way in my original post energy was supposed to be injury!

Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

It's like when Pink Floyd didn't want Syd Barrett in the band anymore, so they just stopped picking him up on the way to gigs...

Its always good to win the first one of the playoffs...gives you momentum to go on to win it all.I think for being off awhile(resting),they were a little out of sync,but it all came together in the second half.Ray Allen came through bigtime,put a seal on the game.All in all,a win is always whats important,so the better team won,and hope it carries over to the next game,and the next,then on,so forth.Go Green!

The shot Rondo hit after getting fouled where he through over the backboard was pretty sick.  They didn't give him the hoop, but it was a sweet shot.  He had a great game.
Yup

Yup, wasn't being critical.  Loved the highlights, just remembered that one afterwards.
