I apologize if someone has posted something about this. But I thought this was pretty amusing. They really are serious about sweeping the C's huh?

Wow, hadn't seen that.  Interesting find, WBT.

If nothing else, someone out there still thinks the Celtics are a big deal.  :D

This is pathetic... I mean, if you shut up when you're getting swept two years in a row during the regular season, why would you boast about a sweep this season? I guess they don't have much to celebrate about in Atlanta.

Funny stuff.

Kinda like when Duquette mentioned that the Red Sox had spent more days in first place although the Yankees won the division.

Means nothing.

Yikes, the Hawks need to get a life and call us when they actually won something meaningful. When is the last time they won a title or for that matter, made the finals? and by the way, why have they not wrapped up their star player yet before he hits free agency.

Next years landing page for them can be have you seen this person graphic with Joe Johnson's picture and a resume section underneath...looking for superstar who is willing to be mired in mediocrity, please list 3 references.

We know the Hawks are a tough matchup for our team. Younger, improving legs will do that vs. an aging, proven team. When they win the Finals, I will be impressed. Until that time, big whoopie cushion

I guess this is their championship...It's the closest they'll get to one for a long long time.

Maybe our fans will care more when we lose to the Hawks in six games in the post-season.

Not saying it'll happen but...it certainly could.  It might not even be that long a series.

We'll see, I suppose.

Yuh, maybe in the playoffs they'll catch us 3 consecutive times on the second night of 3 back to backs.

Oh wait.... there are no back to backs in the playoffs.

Their luck astounds me that they caught us 3 consecutive times on  back ends.  What are the odds of that happening in a season? In a decade?

Let them get overconfident! Let them think they own us. Taking them in 4 or 5 in the playoffs would almost make me as happy as beating the Fakers in the Finals. Stealing that game from us in Boston, aided and abetted by the refs in that Flagrant(not)/tech fest has made them my most disliked team.
That chucker Crawford hitting that 3 from beyond half court to end the first half just epitomizes their luck against us this year. Can't wait till we're whole and meet them in the playoffs. Watch out, Atlanta!!!!!!!

I like their spirit. They aim high. They belong with the contenders right now. It's good for the league. They might be second tier instead of top tier, but they're out there along with the other real players.

I respect them, and I can see why they'd put that up there on their site. It makes sense. If you keep losing for years, then win this much, you get to talk big for a bit and make the most of it. I applaud them.

Well done, you pesky Hawks.

See ya somewhere in the playoffs, see who gets the sweep there.

I definitely think some of you guys are hating and being hypocritical.

Let's not forgot how big of a deal the C's made it when they beat Detroit in the regular season in '07-'08.

I know a lot of us made a big deal out of that, and also when the C's swept the Texas triangle that same year before they won anything.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class
