Obviously anything can happen on any given night but I fully want and expect the Celtics to win this in 4 games..

We have just way too much talent and match up just too well for this Atlanta team..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Yup, same. If this goes longer than 5 games it will feel like we lost the series. In my eyes. We are so much better than this team. We should win in 4 but I'll allow one wtf game.

So glad to not have to watch Lowry and Butler flop around for another series. We better clean the glass against this Hawks team.
We won it for Al!!! :clap:

Start PP, Hauser and Muscala
ATL will be broken in a few minutes

I am afraid of the long break and I am afraid our team will start flat because of it
Otherwise, Cs in 4

As long as it's not Murray, the Jays are going to get to eat whoever guards them.

Probably will have more tense moments than people would like game to game and situationally because it’s the playoffs- which will lead to some hilarious blanket statements per usual but I expect us to win in 5.

Second best back court in the NBA right? I fully expect our backcourt outplay out-smart out-execute them.

I'm glad it's not the Heat. I know they don't pose a threat but I feel a lot more confident about getting through a series against the Hawks with everyone healthy. Biggest thing against the Hawks is keeping them off the offensive glass, they murdered Miami in that department.

Strange that there are 3 East games on Saturday and 1 West instead of 2 each.

Lets crush em and wipe those smiles off their faces!

Hopefully we get this guy to ref our games vs ATLA cause apparently he hates the Hawks lol

PP is gonna have to chip in some minutes to turn around Trae in the backcourt. He is a sneaky good full court defender.

Lowry torched them last night. Can't wait to see what our backcourt will do...

Boston should be able to win this in a sweep or five games. I'd be shocked if it's more. They're a whole lot better.
