"Bandwagon Asscats"



Yup, i am on the Hawks bandwagon. ("Bandwagon asscats" is a from a Rasheed qoute last year, i guess he doesn't think high of people that wait for the bandwagons).

Of course they got guys like JJ and J Smith. But Childress has really caught attention for tons of clutch rebounds and some clutch drives to the hoop too. He has great control when he is flying to the basket and slipping around shotblockers.
And then, everyone's new favorite, Zaza Pachulia. Seems like a tough doood, a helluva scrapper, and also seems to be a (or the) emotional leader for the team. I heard last game his dad was a judo champ, so no wonder he doesn't back down from KG.

I think prior to the playoffs, this was the series people were the most comfortable perdicting a sweep in. And now, it is the only series that remains from the first round, the only game 7.

None of the games in boston have been close so far, but ya never know, crazy things can happen in a 7. If Boston moves on, they are gonna have a pretty intereting series with Lebron. I am not even sure which team to favor anymore. With starters like West, Szczerbiak, Old man Wallace, i never thought i would say that.

Oh yeah, and Rondo got pulled in the 4th again. The commentator said it was "to get better spacing." But it's not like i didn't see Rondo drive and throw up a completely wild layup just before he was pulled.

Yea, Rondo hasn't been able to play the same in the playoffs. It happens to younguns.

God, did ATL lay down in that last game or what? I know they shocked the world, but still, you can't get blown out like that. Terrible. I'm glad my cable screwed up and my tivo recording didn't work out.

And because of that huge delay in the SAS-NOH game, i didn't get the last 3 minutes of that game recorded either. Damn bumblebeeman.

funny, they were talking to one of the hawks guys after gm4 and he was like
"yea, the games were really a lot like the practices most of the year. there really werent any fans or anything, it was just us playing."
