The Celtics losing to the Hawks would be the biggest upset in NBA history. At least Golden State were a pretty decent team.

I'd still say the Warriors sweeping the Mavs is a bigger deal. I mean going 4-0 against the 1st seed and best record in the league when you're in 8th is pretty amazing and is a big story.

The Warriors didn't sweep they won 4-2.

SA's offense is rather stale, and isn't fast enough to score consistently. The Spurs will win a few at home, but the Hornets will take it in 6.

The Spurs have to put Duncan on West. Oberto, Thomas, and Horry can't guard him. He will get the benefit on foul calls, and they need someone to block out Chandler. I mean how many offensive rebounds or tip outs can one guy get.
The Spurs missed ALOT of makeable shots today, and if Duncan gets going that makes Ginobli and Parkers game alot easier.

If the Celtics lose it wouldn't be the biggest upset in NBA history given Garnett's track record for not closing out a big series this wouldn't be a surprise. It be embarrassing. We're used to upsets by now in the NBA. I'd laughed my ass off if it did happen given Celtics over exposure over the year. Pistons took care of business. Hornets look great Spurs won't have an easy time like they did with the Suns if Chris Paul comes up big and Duncan can't produce. Jazz vs. Lakers should be great too though Lakers are obviously the favorites. The time they have off will help them as well.

I like how a team that has Mike Bibby, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, and Al Horford is considered to be a team that would pull off the "biggest shock in NBA history" against the Celts.

I always say that in this big series the team that wins game 1 usually is the better team.

Lakers/Kings (2002) - Lakers win game 1
Spurs/Pistons (Finals) - Spurs win game 1

I guess the Hornets are simply the better team. They made the Spurs look old last night.

That Celtics video got me hyped.

This has been a horrible game between the Celtics and Hawks. I never really thought that Atlanta would win but this is HORRIBLE. Gotta give credit to the C's defense but I do think the Hawks have a solid foundation set for years to come. Cavs vs. Celtics should be a very good series, imo.
