Game 6: There will be a game 7
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I love proving people wrong.
A lot of people thought the Celtics would just pound the Hawks and take the series in four games. I must admit I thought the Hawks were in trouble when this series started and I love the fact that are proving me wrong.
Game six was one for the ages. It only rivals another game six in Hawks playoff history (1988). This year, the Hawks kept hanging around and didn’t quit. They allowed the Celtics to get in foul trouble and the Hawks would go to the line and stay and about 7:50 to go in the fourth quarter.
Now, it’s on to Boston for game seven. JJ, Josh Smith, Horford and even Marvin Williams have had a great series. The one player who the Hawks need to come through in order for the Hawks to win in Boston is Mike Bibby.
Scoring 10 points a game on Sunday for Bibby just won’t get it done in Boston. He needs to be a force.
A force to lead the Hawks to round 2.
