    Why all the love for the Hawks?

    I would say 3 out of every 4 so called 'experts' I've heard on the radio, TV or read on the internet all say Hawks in 6 or so.

    I'm baseball guy, but I do pay attention to the NBA.
    Hawks are not that much better than the Celtics, and I'm not sure they are better.
    I grabbed +150 for the series in a series that can go either way.

    Good sign for my C's. They won't be making a run by any means but this series will be entertaining. They are a fun group to watch.

    No reason why they can't get out of the 1st round vs Hawks. Thomas is a star and Stevens is a great coach.

    We'll see.

    The Hawks were 3-1 vs Celtics this season. They've beaten them handily at home where they are 28-13. The Celtics are 20-21 on the road. In a potential game 7, the Hawks would rightly be around -200. You have no edge, just a blatantly obvious homer pick.

    Ummm, I'm not from Boston so how does this make it a homer pick.
    I'm not even a Celtic fan.

    I know, IT3 going to go off on Teague.
    Only problem is Korver is horseshit.
    Hawks front court is sold though.

    Cut the shit. You're from New England. You probably watch NESN. You've probably never been anywhere remotely close to Atlanta. The Celtics are your hometown team whether you root for them or not. Cut the shit.

    If anyone with money is reading, you can fade the shit out of this guy. Celtics are well coached, but this is a bad matchup, and you're getting advice from some fantasy sports loving, Clam chowder mixing loser.

    Cut the shit?
    You want one or two slices.

    Umm, I grew up in NJ, my wife is from Ct. Fairfield Ct. to Boston is 160 miles.
    No I don't get NESN, I get YES, I'm in a NYC market.
    And I was a Jason Kidd Vince Carter Nets fan, being from NJ and all.

    Your turn slick.

    Im gonna pass on my turn. I dug a hole for you, and after this series lasts no more than 6 games, I'm gonna take you out of the trunk and bury you. As long as ConEd doesn't shut off my electricity.

    Well.... if Bread Loser is correct Overs are likely. Celtics actually play some pretty good D. I'm guessing that in games they win (if any), Under may be the play.

    I heard a guest on ESPN radio this morning, guy was from wagertalk, a tout website,
    he said vegas was getting a lot of Celtics action from the public, but that Atlanta is
    the play. When this line was -4.5 he said it was a point or two too low.
    I think he influenced the line back up, as this was nationally broadcast.

    Basketball-wise, the Atlanta wins against Boston this season don't mean a lot.
    Boston can match up.. sure, Atlanta has more vets and more experience but
    there has been a lot of money lost this year underestimating the Celtics.
    Stevens and the whole team are so full of positive attitude and hustle.
    They never give up. I'm avoiding the series. Expect a lot of heartburn.

    I like getting +150 on a pretty much pick 'em game.
    We know your position here Bread Loser, no need to chime in psycho.
    If your goal is to troll me, no effect, your'e not good at it, you just amuse me.
    We get it, you think Hawks steamroll, I don't, don't like it? That's your problem, not mine.

    Boston has hideous inside defense. The matchup is bad. Stevens is a great coach, but he needs more talent to win. That Nets pick, fvcking losers that they are, should put Steve over the top next season.

    If you're talking to me.
    a) it's not my money, the Russian can spend his money however he wants.
    b) Barclay's sucks to watch a game, too high, and the traffic sucks, and taking the Metro North takes forever.
    c) If Nets win fine, if they lose, it doesn't bother me one bit.

    Keep trolling son.

    Too high? Metro North? Do you think anyone cares? Winning in a salary cap league has almost nothing to do with spending money.
