How well the Celtics keep the Hawks off the offensive glass will be a big factor in determining how long this series goes. Remember the Celtics have had a problem with this issue before. I have the Celtics in 5 but could easily see this series going 6 games if the Celtics struggle rebounding.

Hawks had the offensive rebounding edge in our three matchups this season. All wins by the Cs. Rob didn’t play in any of those games.

Cs are bigger than the Heat. And were the #1 defensive rebounding team in the league with Rob missing more than half the games. We come in focused, I don’t see rebounding becoming a major issue.

Some fun regular season facts about Boston/Atlanta

Celtics have swept the Hawks 3-0 in the regular season.

R Williams has not play against the Hawks this year.

Pritchard is 13-22 three point shooting against the Hawks for 59%
Hauser is 17-25 three point shooting against the Hawks for 68%

Let's Go Celtics!!!

they also showed zero resistance on defense. Celts should have their way on the offensive end, regardless if the three ball is falling. Lets get it!

Hawks have terrible defense against the Celtics.

Should be a good opportunity to really hone the offense.

Gallo, Horf, and Muscala all played for the Hawks. Asst coach Ben Sullivan coached there. Brogdon and Brown are both from Georgia.

But if we make more than one trip to Atlanta in this series, I would be disappointed.

I say Celtics in 5. Sweep is quite possible but I figure there will be a game where our shots aren't falling.

Hawks are an awesome opponent for us. Their win last night was also win #58 for the C's haha.

Celtics have shown in the regular season that they have another gear they can kick it up to when they play better competition. The playoffs should be the time for this team to be giving maximum effort every game. If they do that, they will be quite difficult to beat

I have zero fear of the Heat at all, and will not be surprised if either the Raptors or the Bulls knock them out.

Honestly, both are bad matchups for them.

Bulls won the season 3-0
Raptors won the season 3-1

I honestly think they lose their next game. I think Demar has a monster game against the Raptors tonight and then the Bulls take out Miami.

There's plenty of room in Hell for the Atlanta Hawks...

We're better in B2Bs than multiple days of rest. So I guess we'll start 0-3 before backdoor sweeping.

Except it was Zach who had monster game.

Step 1 done.

And then Bulls upset Bucks?
Wouldn’t that be something?

Who wins the series?
