True, it is way to early in the season, but I really like what I am seeing from the Hawks so far.

Default Boston Celtics has lost 3 straight??

After starting out so dominant they have now have lost to the Hawks, Pacers, and Magic with 2 losses being in Boston on national TV. So is it too early to say the Hawks and Magic are the two top teams in the East?

I'd say its way too early to say that. Right now the Cavs, Celtics, Magic, and Hawks are all right there. But The first three teams have the experience of making it to Conference as well as Finals. And the Celts have won a championship. But the Hawks are really a suprise.

I know for a fact the Cavs won't be any near the Conference Finals this season.

Okay thats completly an opinion for one. Two the Cavs have as much depth as the Celts and Magic. And what have the Hawks proved thus far? The Cavs didn't even particulary play well against them in the playoffs last year, and still swept them.

Ray Allen has been quite a let down.

Was I suppposed to be impressed that the Celtics needed a buzzer beater in OT to beat the 2-10 knicks?

Why would you make a comment like that in a sport that has an 82-game season? Are you suggesting that three losses early on makes or breaks the entire season for the Celtics?
