He had every right to say something like that. They won. And he was one of the reasons they won. You think KG wouldn't say something? It's not like he pulled a tebow or something for all to see.

We can't think it's great when our guys do something after a win and then get p---ed when the other team has a similar reaction to their wins. Unless that team is the Lakers. You can hate everything about them.

I would take him in a heartbeat over Josh Smith but if they dismantle, there is one player that is staying on the Hawks it is Horford.

I've never tasted Hawk before, but I think it might be yummy.  I heard it tastes like chicken.

Adding Horford to the Big Four would be epic. No way it could ever happen, but it's fun to think about.

They won by 1 point and we failed to properly execute a couple late game plays.

We also failed to make capable free throws and they thought it was an easy game?

Horford completely changes this series.  I know they only won by 1 point, but I think they'll be even stronger in the next game.  We don't match up well with Atlanta when Horford is there.  Too big.  They can kill us on rebounds.  It puts Joe Johnson at shooting guard where he is 5 inches and 60 pounds bigger than Avery Bradley.  I'm concerned.

I would have to say the league should look into this, and if his mouth isn't washed out with soap, we'll know that Stern really does hate the Celtics. :'(

We're kidding right? This upset you? Sorry to tell you this, but grown ups sometimes say bad words.

Horford coming back has nothing to do with Drew's moving Johnson to shooting guard.  He replaced Hinrich with Williams, playing Marvin at the 3 and moving Joe back to the two.

He could have done that with a front court of Collins and Smith.

They are definitely more dangerous because of Horford, though.  There's no question about that.   But, I still believe that we are the better team, and that we will emerge victorious back in the Garden in game six.

I think by "making the game easy", he was trying to suggest that they put effort in the game to make the little things in defense, or in rebounding, easier for themselves.
Apart from that perspective, no one in the NBA is that dumb to call a one-point final minute victory as an easy one.
