Boston in 5.
Atlanta stuns the NBA taking Game 1 in Boston, due primarily to their young players being very fired up in their first playoff game. Doc then replays the final game in the Dallas-Golden State series last year for the players, and says "Do you want to be like Dallas?" Boston procedes to come back and destroy the Hawks in the next 4.

Josh Smith and Al Horford can be a handful if they got their mojo working and they will almost certainly be fired up for the playoffs. I think that those two + Johnson will make a couple games interesting but the Celtics are going to be insanely motivated at home and by the time the series gets to Atlanta for the third game all the Hawks starters will be exhausted from having to play entire games (Woodson hasn't dipped into our bench since November). Also, a team as good as Boston can adapt to the other team's weaknesses, I expect Rajon Rondo to look like a star against the defensively inept Mike Bibby.

On a side note regarding the pic on the front page, I wish the Hawks still had Donta Smith. He always did great in the D-league, and would add some depth at our weak SG rotation. Only Joe and Salim is there, if you count Chill as a SF, which I do. But yeah, J.J. is our best player and prob top 3 SG in the East, and you have a D-leaguer as the pic. Though you prob got that pic like at ESPN or something like that, because I remember one of those sites always had Donta for Joe.
