CELTICS GREEN BLOG by and for boston celtics fans: Fiddlin' and Diddlin'

Herald Garden party for Celtics
Sam Cassell’s time to shine
Paul Pierce’s big night speaks volumes
FL's Take: Pierce is going to have to keep this same aggressive mindset for the Celtics to win game 6 in Atlanta. He can't play timidly and will have to be aggressive just as he was in game 5.
Big Papi’s a big fan of Hawks’ Horford
Celtics make it look simple
Joe Johnson: ‘It ain’t over yet'
FL's Take: The Celtics have given the Hawks confidence by playing so poorly in games 3 and 4 and letting them back in the series. They will need to play very well to take game 6 as the Hawks are going to come at them with a lot of confidence that they can win in their own house.
’Nique thankful for help
Leon Powe plays a big role
FL's Take: I love Leon Powe. He is a huge factor for this team as long as Doc gives him a chance.
Wizards get back at Cavs
FL's Take: This was good that the Wizards beat the Cavs because now they have a game 6 also and the Cavs won't be sitting at home waiting and getting a lot of rest while the Celtics finish their series. The best case scenario would be for the Celtics to close out their series on Friday and for the Cavs to win on Friday and have their series to go 7 games and give the Celtics a rest before having to face them.
Paul Pierce issues statement on gesture
Pierce: Gesture wasn’t gang sign
Menino let his fingers do the mumbling
Globe Safe at home
How did we get here?
Bench once again provides a deep threat
FL's Take: The bench is going to be a key to winning on Friday. They have to come through again as they have in the Celtics 3 wins.
Pierce tries his hand at issuing a statement
Hawks' old habits return
No hitting rookie wall for Horford
In this job, there's no such thing as security
FL's Take: I think some coaches fit certain teams and some don't. Why else would a coach get fired for not winning and then go to another team and win. There are some bad coaches, but most of the time it is a combination of things. Expect some of the fired coaches (except Isiah) to show up on another team and be successful. This just means more teams after Tom Thibodeau, though.

ProJo Playoff failure weighs heavy on coaches, says Rivers
FL's Take: It is in the playoffs that a coach's weaknesses will show up. A coach can hide his weaknesses in the regular season, but once the playoffs come around it becomes a chess match between coaches and weaknesses aren't as easy to hide.

SI.com A few losses to the Hawks could be just what the Celtics needed
FL's Take: I think the Celtics took the Hawks for granted going down to Atlanta. They were taken by surprise in the first game and then they played a better game in game 4, but didn't bring the killer instinct and let up once they got the lead. Hopefully they have learned not to take any teams or games for granted and every game has to be played like game 7.
