Last year when Golden State shocked the world, a lot of people that knew basketball called it. Though what we could see this afternoon is as big as it gets. Boston won 66 games, was heralded as the new beast of the East since the big trade for Garnett and most favored this team make the NBA Finals, or even win the title.
The Atlanta Hawks won 37 games. The Hawks would be the 12th seed in the Western Conference based on that record. Many thought it was a joke that they were in the playoffs with that record, "because it's the East." At this point, none of it matters, the Hawks are in Game 7 against the NBA's best team (record wise).
Nobody expected this series to go five games, or even six games, let alone seven games.
Now the young Hawks are in Boston, have a chance to make history and prove that with hard work, anything can happen in the playoffs.
Well, the game is halfway into the first quarter with the Celtics on top 12-8, on that note, more later...
