Yawn

I happened to think it was a very good series.  The Hawks played extremely hard but in the end the Celtics did what they were suppose to do.  I am trying to word this properly to not look like I am making excuses.

The hawks are young and athletic.  They don't shoot the ball well from the outside and because they are young they are not as disciplined as veteran teams.  The hawks slash very well to the basket and are very active on the boards.  I think in atlanta, the hawks got the bennefit of calls around the basket.  I do not think the reffs were being bias in atlanta, I think they got caught up in the emotion of the crowd and blew the whistle a few to many times.  Free throw shooting played a huge part in atlanta's wins.

In the end the more talented veteran team won but you have to give the hawks credit for playing as hard as they did the entire series.  I honsetly believe the hawks would have given a number of teams prolems simply because of their energy and athletism.
