Anyone seriously think that this Hawks-Celtics series would go to 7 games!?

Joe Johnson scored just 15 points on 4-of-13 shooting in Friday's game, but he had five assists and hit a clutch 3-pointer to help the Hawks hold off the Celtics and force a Game 7 in Boston.
Johnson's three was the only one the Hawks made all game, but their surprisingly solid defense kept them in it when the offense sputtered. Mike Bibby missed 11 of his 17 field goals, though he did have six rebounds and seven assists without turning the ball over. The Hawks can really blow people's minds by stealing a win in hostile Boston.

Ronnie Brewer sat out practice Thursday and went through Friday's pregame shootaround at half-speed, but did start Game 6 against the Rockets and was matched up against Tracy McGrady.
He played 22 minutes and scored 13 points in the win and should be ready to face the Lakers in Round 2.

Pargo had 2 points, 4 boards, 5 assists in 20 minutes off the bench.
New Orleans beat San Antonio 101-82, and lead the best-of-7 series, 1-0.

Joe Johnson led the Hawks with 16 points in Sunday's wire-to-wire blowout loss to the Celtics. Atlanta shot an abysmal 29% from the field: Johnson was 5-of-17, Mike Bibby was 1-of-3 in 25 minutes, Josh Smith was 3-of-11, Al Horford was 3-of-12, Marvin Williams was 3-of-12 before getting ejected, and the bench combined to score 25 points on 9-of-27 shooting.
The Hawks beat themselves early, missing no fewer than five layups in the first half, but the Celtics defense was obviously effective. This was a bitter end to an otherwise terrific season for the Hawks, who recaptured their fans' interest with the franchise's first playoff appearance in nine seasons.

I tell ya what Brewer is playing great defense on Kobe but it doesn't matter.

Well, it's all even now, so the Jazz might just have a chance... Will be interesting to follow...
Hornets need to regain control of their series too...

Why is it that they continue to play Korver in the 4th Quarter, he doesn't score and I doubt he plays the kind of defense that Brewer does, so why do they keep playing him?
