Well actually I was talking about PF's. Bird is a SF. IF he was a PF he'd be #1 by far.


Oh ok, I thought we were just talking about forwards. I'd have a hard time choosing between Bird and Duncan. Now that I think about it, I'd definitely pick Bird over Malone though.

Yeah but Bird had injury problems late in his career. Had Bird been healthy it would be a no brainer. Duncan is just so dependable. Both are great clutch players. I honestly think Duncan is the 4th best big man in NBA history behind Russell Wilt and Kareem.

And it's really hard to pick a top 5. Wilt, Kareem, Magic, Bird, Jordan? Do you leave out Russell?

Is there any question about this foul warranting an ejection?


He definitely wasn't going for the ball there, but it didn't look like he was trying to take off Rondo's head either. He just wrapped him up in mid-air. Definitely a flagrant 1... but I don't think it was bad enough for a flagrant 2 and subsequent ejection.

Although, the refs are being consistent. That hit wasn't any harder than the hit Haywood gave LeBron, and he got thrown out too.

I love this **** team. Diving for loose balls up 30+ in the second half. I don't think anybody else does that besides the Spurs.

Thank God we didn't continue the choke job.

Thankyou Hawks for the wake up call it's been fun.

You guys got a Bright future.

Well, one of the mods put up a Cavs vs. Celtics 2nd round thread before the end of Game 6, but I think now we can be sure that will be the matchup.

Bird had injury problems, but still put up numbers. And the Celtics were almost always in the mix for a Championship

I figured out why the Hawks couldn't beat the Celtics on the road... Looking at the Boston crowd is like staring into a lightbulb. All you can see is white.
