Obviously the celtics are a better team, they know that, everyone hopefully knows that.

But for the life of me I can't see how they can play so shitty in all 3 games on the road except they:

Want us all to talk a lot of shit about them like we are right now on these forums, so they have something to prove.

It must be boring to play with a lot of passion, when the best you possibly do, is nothing more than what is expected by the world. However, now they have millions of us calling them chokers, joking about how ridiculous they are, and seeming to forget all the greatness they showed up until now.

I mean theres NO WAY fixing games had anything to do with it, they just played ****ing disgraceful those past couple games.

JUST LIKE DETROIT did those 2 times, and we were ALL (well most of us) were talking shit about how they are struggling against such a young new team, and they...

played to advance, and while doing so... "regain their respects and prove us wrong"/make us eat our words.

I mean we know they have what it takes to really beat the shit out of the Hawks, they BLEW THEM OUT 3 games already.

If betting was easy no one would be taking action.

Difference is after dropping 2 games, and looking like they were about to drop a 3rd, Detroit turned it onto a whole different level and showed everyone they ARE without a doubt the better team.

People were saying Philly is underrated, Detroit isn't better than them, .

Now we know Boston is the better team than Atlanta, but why can't they finish...??

4 games = X revenue.
7 games = X+.75X revenue.

it's not just like detroit at all

game 1 when the sixers won was a fluke

ahhh, a fluke.

Dont forget celtics had 3 blowouts, and what about loss 2?

What happened there?

Winning playoff basketball games on the road isn't easy.

Did you see the crowd today?

All of Atlanta just realized they still had a basketball team two weeks ago yet they were ravenous like they're pumping testosterone in the public drinking water.

The bottom line is Atlanta is a better team then everyone thought but they can't win the series unless they win on the road and they just won't do that this year. Boston will blow them out at home again and this will just raise their concentration level for when they meet the Spurs in the finals.

To get all the haters who are going nuts right now, like many on these boards and such, to eat their words and trash talk when as Celtics play to win and prove them wrong.

Extra motivation on their side now.

true.

TONS OF CASH each game.

And everyone knows in 4 games or 7, the Celtics move on.

And if you dont think they can win the series than your not smart at all.

Correct, I mean hopefully it teaches them not to **** UP on the road at these stages.

Come on ATL turn my $20 into $1200

Congrats if they do man!

[Tsoprano]

Fish, is that you?

Nope, just an angry Celtics fan.

[Tsoprano]

Makes sense. That's why the Lakers series went 7.

Thats what the Nuggets get for lack of defense and pissing off the MVP.

I don't know you Ragnarok, but you are a wise man!

Hawks getting 20 to 1? There's gotta be some value there.

[jjgold]

Atlanta has some great young talent and the young legs are out hustling and out playing Celts.

How big do you estimate the possibility that Boston is nervous in the last deciding game and will get problems even at home?
