Well, the party's over folks. The PA system at the TD Banknorth Garnden Arena played an ode to Atlanta Hawks in the tune of Gladys Knight and the Pips' "Midnight Train to Georgia".
The Hawks had been dubbed the "Cinderella" team of the playoffs and rightfully so. The Hawks had earned the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference while The Celtics went 66-16 for the leagues best record, which I might add was 29 games more than Atlanta. Although the Hawks won all three of their home games, they just couldn't keep their opponent off in the distance. In Game 6 Rajon Rondo threw up a 3 pointer to potentially tie the game, but missed, thus forcing the two teams to take the series back to Boston for Game 7. The Celtics are 18-5 in Game 7's, but haven't won one since beating Atlanta in the second round in 1988.
The Boston Celtics are set to play LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in game 1 Tuesday night.
