Atlanta Surprises in Playoffs

Posted by Phil Partington May 2, 2008

Hey folks, I'm back in action. Sorry about the recent hiatus, but thanks for all your comments/opinions on the MVP race.

Can you believe the Celtics/Hawks series going to seven games? The Mike Bibby deal seems to have really paid off. What do you think? Is it a match up issue? Is Atlanta just playing their hearts out? Is Boston really a finals contender?

Another question is what does this success mean for the Hawks? If they manage to upset Boston in Game 7, do they make any moves? They do have a logjam at the small forward position with Josh Smith, Marvin Williams and Josh Childress. They could certainly use a defensive-minded center. Yet, which prospect do they give up? Or, should they keep what they have and hope to continue to develop that talent, despite the holes.

At any rate, it should be an exciting Game 7.

I'm glad to be back and am excited about hearing your thoughts on the NBA Playoffs.
