    That matters a lot more than stopping the Celtics streak.

    I hate the Celtics. Hate the Celtics. Hate. Not more than the jazz hands but definitely more than the Spurs. More than the Mavs. I hate them so much. So very, very much.

    I also hate KG. In fact, he's the biggest reason I hate the Celtics. It's really just a combination of hating KG and being sick of Boston winning everything. But, yeah, KG is a douche; I can't stand him.

    A game between two EC teams doesn't mean much. The Jazz coming back after that dismal first quarter is what really sucks tonight.

    Choke to me is being scared and double clutching a FT like Pau Gasol did in the playoffs against the Dallas Mavericks. Nothing in Joe Johnson's body language told me he was scared of the pressure.

    T-Mac wouldn't have missed those freebies. This will not be forgotten, Joe Johnson!

    Do you know who he is? Do you remember playing Street Fighter II? Do you remember that ONE friend who took EVERYTHING too seriously? He bought the player's guide and found a website where it had the exact frame data for every attack in the game? Yeah, KG is that guy.

    I'm laughing at all the Celtic hating. There's so many more teams worthy of scorn. Let's hate the champs rarrr why can't KG be stoic rarr.

    I was 2 in 1986. Those scars are still fresh on the soft baby spot on my head.

    Great game.

    haha, don't you mean the one who memorized all the moves and buttons and have the audacity to mumble it out while he kicks the living daylights out of your life line without even sustaining a single dent

    You know it's December whenever KG plays like that in the 4th quarter.

    Bad miss by Joe Johnson but you can't really fault him either. He's the only guy the Hawks have that can step up and carry the team in that situation. He did everything he could and ultimately got screwed by the law of averages.

    I see this close game and I think back to the 3rd quarter whenever KG clearly moved his pivot foot *twice* when trapped by Josh Smith and the baseline. You have the two cheapie FT's there plus the resulting Josh Smith technical foul that happened as a result of that officiating atrocity. Hmm....what was the final score again?

    Were you born in Atlanta and a lifelong Hawk fan?

    I HAD NO IDEA.

    MY PARENTS DID IT IN BOSTON.

    I want Celtics to win all games till we meet them in Boston. Then we'll take revenge for them ending ours, what do you all say?

    How about the phantom travels/calls on Perkins? The hack-jobs that Horford and Pachulia administered every time a Celtic touched the ball? The push-offs that Pachulia made whenever his man got rebounding position? Bad officiating happens every game, for both sides.

    This is just hate, and you know it.
