...how well do you think the Hawks would fare against Boston the way the Celtics are playing now? The Hawks match up well against the Celtics but Boston is playing at a higher level than they displayed throughout the season.

I don't think we'd do that well based on how we played in the playoffs (not just against Orlando) and how they've played. While we do match up fairly well with them we'd always be a defender short of matching them. The way Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo have played we could only control one and the other would shred us. Also their bench (Rasheed, Tony Allen, and Davis) has played much better in the playoffs than in the regular season. We wouldn't have enough to match them off the bench. On the bright side we'd have home court.
