the Atlanta Hawks SHoCK the WOrLD aGaiN at Phillips arena, Hawks actually DOMINATED the Celtics at home, here's how

the Atlanta Hawks are the best young, improving, and soon be history making(with a win in boston on Sunday) team in the NBA. I mean, people have got to really start looking at this team in the eastern conference.

seriously though the atlanta hawks completely outplayed the great big celtics and their "big three" without even using our big three like that! the Hawks won that game by better offense, defense, and situation handling tonight at Phillips Arena. Are we talking about a great home team now?

Game 6 was the most impressive win of the three in these playoffs. and the celtics played even better in this game than in game 4, except ray allen missing all his shots (1/8 3pt), its so cool because we won this game playing hawks basketball, they heard kg say celtics basketball in game 5 well game 6 was a BETTER showing of hawks basketball to them at home.

No Atlanta starter scored in double figures, but our sixth man was our second leading scorer

THIS IS THE ONLY GAME SEVEN (7) OF THE 2007-2008 NBA PLAYOFFS.

big shout out to mike vick (7)

i like to see the espn guys, the so called expert analysts lol they might say, "who would have thunk it?" but i say WE the fans of the youth KNOW BETTA ya dig? this is so coincidence funny, let us count the ways:

  • the 07-08 atlanta hawks (37-45) have the lowest winning percentage of any playoff team of all time
  • the atlanta hawks are the youngest team by average age (25 years 193 days) in the playoffs and in the NBA
  • the atlanta hawks have made the biggest improvement progress from the bottom up in recent years : 04/05 worst in leauge 13-69, 26-56 in 05/06, 30-52 in 06/07, and 37-45 in 07/08.
  • the atlanta hawks would make the biggest upset in basketball and really all sports history if they could win in boston on sunday, may 4, 2008.
seriously thought, lets recap and look at how this series has gone:

game 1: Celtics 104 Hawks 81
game 2: Celtics 96 Hawks 77
game 3: Hawks 102 Celtics 93
game 4: Hawks 97 Celtics 92
game 5: Celtics 110 Hawks 85
game 6: Hawks 103 Celtics 100

game SEVEN?

INTERESTING GAME 6 STATISTICS:

pts 103 pts 100
fg made/att 38/82 33/69
fg pct 46.3% 47.8%
3pt made/att 4/13 1/7
fts made/att 20/25 36/47
ft pct 80% 76.6%
fast break pts 11 9
assists 25 25
biggest lead 12 7

  • hawks balanced scoring makes difference in the clutch, first home game of series with no starter with 20
  • this is the first time a #8 seed took #1 in the eastern conference since atlanta hawks vs boston celtics in 1988

and this could have been a MUCH better game for Atlanta! Josh Smith was in foul trouble, had 11 pts 6 rebs 3 blks, still good, but this was a team game tonight

PLAYER(S) OF THE GAME:

Mike Bibby:
17 pts 7 assists 6 rebounds (even though he was a dismal) 6/17 fgs 0/4 3pts and 5/8 fts - mike came through in the clutch, a little, but enough to win


MARVIN WILLIAMS!


18 pts 4 rebs 2 asts 6/9 fgs 6/6 fts - yes, yes, this was a good game by the kid, this is good for him for now, this is probably about the best he can do, he came through in replacement of Smith, so we appreciate him.






and of course, JOE JOHNSON -


15 pts 4 reb, 5 asts 4/13 fgs 1/2 3pts 6/7 fts - that one three, the one and only three of the game to make it 100-95...yes.











Yes, the Hawks are going to win game 7 in Boston soo...

BRING ON LEBRON!!

Nice work, but they're a different team on the road.

Will the fair weather fans be back next year?
