Before I get to the positives from tonights game, 2 quick negatives. One, I did not like how the Celtics had a sloppy 5 minutes in the third quarter to let the Hawks stay in the game. Stuff like that when you are on the road against a young team can let their crowd get in it and allow the Hawks to gain confidence. Two, our home crowd was pretty crappy tonight. I think over 15 years of the Celtics being not very good has made our home crowd forget how to root for the favorite as opposed to the underdog like we have been the past few years. 
        Now to the many positives. Powe and Posey established a different tone early in the game by playing great defense, taking charges, and fighting for rebounds. Garnett, Pierce, and Allen all did a good job of hitting their shots in the flow of the offense and not forcing anything. Rondo putting pressure on Bibby to defend and staying with Bibby when the Hawks had the ball seemed to take its tole on Bibby causing Bibby to have a terrible game. (6 points 1 assist in 39 minutes) The key in game six will be to not allow The Hawks to ever go on any runs which allow the Crowd and the Hawks to build momentum.
