Admin capstone21 Posted May 1, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I was checking and the Celtics played well w/o Rondo this season so its not in the bag that we will win.We still need to step up and make this victory happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtLaS Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 100% agree, we know the Hawks all too well in situations like these. We need to step on their throats early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftown Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 i am underconfident if anything because Rondo is outnevertheless, i feel the suspension was warranted...Go Hawks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted May 1, 2012 Premium Member Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I will not allow myself to be overconfident. I hope the players aren't either. I believe that there's lots of pressure on the refs to call it Boston's way. I look for a lot of those 50/50 calls to go to the Celtics. If Josh gets out of pocket with the arguing or the scowl, he will get T'd up. Peirce will try to go inside on every play.. especially if he's at Point Forward. Boston will increase the physical nature of the game. I hope these Hawks are ready. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted May 1, 2012 Premium Member Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 We could be playing a sixth grade girls team and I wouldn't be overconfident. We need to go out there and establish our dominance like we did last game. The only thing that needs to change is that we don't need to let Boston slow the pace down to a crawl like they did in the second half. We need to step on their necks and break it. We go to Boston 2-0 and go for the sweep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lascar78 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 How have they played without Rondo and Ray Allen?They almost beat us without Rondo, Allen, Pierce, or Garnett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators macdaddy Posted May 1, 2012 Moderators Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Pierce and Garnett will play much better and i expect them to get to the line a lot. They are going to force the refs to make calls but that's basketball. We just have to keep our head on and do the same. LD has his work cut out for him but i'm not afraid of a physical game with the c's. They are one of the teams in the league that can't really back that up unless they are just continually bailed out.

ag82 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 They almost beat us without Rondo, Allen, Pierce, or Garnett.Strange, it looked like a regular win for us in the standings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted May 1, 2012 Moderators Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 They almost beat us without Rondo, Allen, Pierce, or Garnett.Miami did beat us without Lebron or Wade. We need to bring our "A" game every night in the playoffs. This is a must win game for the Hawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T21 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Sure, we cannot allow any let-down because we have a clear opportunity to go up 2 - 0 and truly take control of the rest of this series...Let's face it, Rondo is their energizer bunny and without him they're not the same team.

tonegully Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 The Hawks should stomp them out. BUUUTTT we know our Hawks. They probably going to come out with no motivation since Rondo isnt there and Stigma or whatever his name is put up 20-20..lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhillboy Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) If I can't get confident about my team playing against one who's missing their floor general who is the leagues top assister and rebounding PG in a home playoff game to take stranglehold of the series then I shouldn't be confident about anything. I'll be thoroughly pissed if we lose, with blame placed squarely on the coach and his PG. Edited May 1, 2012 by benhillboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Look for KG to get two centers ejected and Paul Pierce to draweleventy leven foul calls and single handedly outscore the entire Atlanta team.Seriously, Hawks MUST step up tonight. I hate "must win" games but thisis shaping up as the key game in the entire series.GO HAWKS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
