Title: Show Yourselves!
Post by: cool breeze on April 22, 2008, 10:42:40 PM
Ok. I couldn't really process it when 12 people thought that the Hawks would win 4 games vs. the Celtics. Now it seems that there are 21 people who think the same. Or are they some of the same people who are infiltrating this board? Show yourselves! and rationalize your views please.

I'll offer my rebuttal upfront:

No. Even if it takes the Celtics the requisite 3.5 weeks to complete a sweep in the first round.

Wow ... 21! That seems to defy all logic ... and I thought String Theory was hard to get around! (Initially) I'd like to see the rationale behind this thinking as well ... TP, CB for bringing this travesty out into the open. (Remember: prophets are very rarely welcomed in their own country.)  ;)

Speaking from the experience of running the daily MVP polls, some people just get a kick out of making silly picks.

Just because some people vote for Scal every time, it doesn't mean they are silly picks. Some fans see the broad picture of the game and the overall Scal effect, and don't just focus on silly stats like rebounds or made baskets. With that out ouf the way, I vote for Scal every time and I would never vote that the Hawks would win a single game. That is just retarded.

Agreed earl; whippersnapper come latelys, under 55 just make some sick...

But hey, we all gotta get along, hey  8) (laughs madly)  ;D

Back on topic, I've been mad for years, as a C's fan, foregoing all rationality, at times; But even at that, never would have predicted sweeps in the playoffs in years past, without good reason; I suppose a good reason(s) for some this year with regards to the Hawks might be , in good humor, or being a pick of a lunatic, or 21, or one who votes 21 times ;D

Four games is just silly, the Hawks are even buying into it themselves, they already picked which jersey to wear for the 2nd round.

LOL.

seriously tho, the hawks are absolutely pathetic as a playoff opponent.  i will be shocked if they win a single game in this series. 

the force tells me we will not only sweep, but will win by 15 pts each game ;)

The Hawks will likely give them a game in Atlanta.  Much like the Celts team that was swept by the Pacers a few years back (that team had no biz being in the playoffs either).

Even though he irks me sometimes, Donny Marshall had a great reaction to being asked if the Hawks would win a game, he looked truly sad for them and said, "Even if the Hawks play their best possible game, and the Celtics play a bad game, the Celtics still have too many weapons."
