I think the C's will do work these next two games and pull off some good wins, and advance to the next round. but

The past two games have been absolutely undesirable for us celtics fans, but you have to think of the positives. The celtics have never played a playoff series together, so we are going to be a bit more vulnerable. This is not an excuse, but we have to just play every game like its our last.

In a way I am glad that this series is a tough one. Because if we would have swept them or even did it in 5, the Celtics would have still be overconfident going in the next round. Which is going to be even scarier and tougher than this one. So in a way (as long as the win this series) its good to have a tough series to start off with, so we no what to expect later on.

ya thats what I keep saying to try to feel better about the awful basketball weve seen the last two games

red sox down 3-0 to the yankees end up winning the world series. red sox down 3-1 to the indians end up winning the world series. The Celtics are a contender the hawks aren't, but they do create match up problems and we don't want to end up like the mavs did last year. The Hawks can't beat the celtics in boston though so i expect the team to click again. But this series is a good eye opener for all of the boston fans who were expecting us to just cruise right into the finals.
