Would like to see the Hawks move on, but Beantown has the experience. That experience will prove too much for the Hawks' lack of experience.

wait what? they have Teague who is kind of youngish, but apart from him the Hawks are one of the most playoff tested teams out there. anyway, I'll be rooting for the Celtics, as they, imo, have the best shot at eventually beating the Heat, but this series will probably be the toughest grind of them all. I'd go with the Celtics in six.

Yeah the Hawks are one of the teams with the most playoff experience. And they're off and running 18-6 early.

Damnit, Rondo! That hurts, not just the loss, but Rondo potentially getting suspended, which is likely. Need the C's at their best to stop Mia. Not confident after tonight. No Rondo for game 2 will be tough. If he's suspended for game 3, series over.
I don't like ATL, and think even if the C's lose game 2 without Rondo, they could and should still take the series. But they'd need Rondo playing in game 3 back in Bos for that.

Kenny thinks he'll get tossed for game 2, while Sir Charles and Shaq think the league just might call it "incidental contact" and let it go. Considering how truly "turrrrrible" the foul call was, I hope the league doesn't impact this series by taking further action against Rondo even though he did appear, in the words of Barkley, to "enjoy the incidental contact."

No Rondo, no Ray Allen. The Hawks will be looking back at this game for years to come.
