Congrats Paul Pierce.
Because you fouled out and drew a dumbass technical foul, you and the Celtics have to play in a Game 7. Also, best supporting cast Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen laid some huge eggs at the tail end of the Celtics 103-100 loss to Hot-lanta.
Allen was laying up so many bricks, he should be a mason. His play in the last three minutes were God awful. He looked less like the pure shooter he is and looking like a CYO benchwarmer.
Garnett didn't help out matters. Never have I seen a guy, who rules the rebounds and also works the inside as well as Garnett. However, he felt that rather than grab an offensive board and go right for the high percentage shot... he'd rather dish it out to an ice cold Allen or Rajon Rondo.
Of course, Boston being the more mature and experienced team played so bad right down to the last possession. With about 7 seconds left, the Celts decided to shoot a very poor, low percentage three pointer that was far from being logical of taking. Rondo would have had a better chance of hitting that three if he threw up the shot like Jimmy Flaherty in Celtic Pride.
Though, on the surface, it looks like the Celtics can win at home, destroying the Hawks, at the Fleet Center (i know it's not called this now).
Also, the Cavs finished off the Wizards (no surprise there) and the Jazz took care of Houston, proving that if you win at least 20 straight games now-a-days it doesn't mean you'll win the championship (cough* Oakland A's *cough).
