Down by 20 w/ 9 min to go. That's retarded poor performance by HOU. Weak sauce.

As a long long suffering hawks fan (still love Dominque Wilkins most under rated nba ball player). i have to say, regardless of whether the hawks beat the celts for game 7 or not. YOU CAN NOT FIRE THIS COACH.

The Wizards can finally stop their trashtalking.

I'm not a Hawks fan, but it's glad they're putting up such a good series.

So if ATL kills BOS on Sunday, it will be a bigger epic fail than DAL losing to OAK last year? 'Cause that's what all the "experts" are saying on ESPN.

Iono, GS beat Dallas in 6 even with the refs calling random techs and ejections for smiling/laughing, etc. GS just knocked Dallas out of the house.

Not as epic as the Pats choking in the SB after all the hype from the "experts", but it would be just as hysterical.

GGs Wiz, a shame you got dominated by an overrated player.

Pats didn't really choke. The giants were a very good team as well. They went through the cowboys remember?

Or even Deron Williams. I don't know why the Hawks drafted Marvin Williams, when the need was a PG (Chris Paul or Deron Williams) and the Hawks already having so many wing players. That's why I want the GM to be fired but keep the coach.

It'd be right up there. People weren't expecting anything from the Hawks at the start of the series and even less when they were down 0-2. At least GS stole one of the first games against Dallas and people were already predicting upset.

But the argument will be moot, since Boston will dominate the Hawks at home.

Wizards played disgraceful, thug basketball the whole series from what I saw... total lack of class.

Awesome run by the hawks...

They were built up to be the best team of all time yet lost to a wildcard team. Not taking anything away from the Giants, they were obviously the better team and dominated the Pats. Pats still choked at the end of the game with a chance to win, their defense gave up the go ahead score and their offense fell flat on it's face. Their overall failure will always be considered one of the biggest choking acts in sports history.

Celts need to get past the lowly Hawks before they can start worrying about Ctown. They are one loss away from copying the epic choke of the Pats. Cavs had great success against the Celts in the regular season, a 4-0 prediction is a joke. Boston beat them by a whopping 5 points in the game LBJ didn't even play, and I think the Cavs swept them after their trades.

I agree about the Wiz mini, they even failed at being thugs though and got knocked out again. I love how they talk trash to the team that has ended their season 3 years running. Get a clue, get some game, and shut your pie hole until then Wiz....

Wtf is up with the delay of game? Apparently, New Orleans can't handle fire.

Edit: During intermission between 1st and 2nd quarter, there was the NO mascot jumping and dunking through a ring of fire. NO had trouble extinguishing the flames and got the court all messy. It's taken ~20 minutes (and counting) to clean up the court. Spurs coach is pissed, wants to go back to the locker room.
