What I took away from this is, the Celtics played great all year, and everyone was looking at them before like "Man, they look unbeatable", but the Hawks took away that edge. Even though everyone knew the Celtics weren't unbeatable...it just seemed that way.
So basically Devin now thinks the Celtics are really good instead of un-freakin-believable. Hardly the controversy everyone wants it to be. Also, Devin is going to see, what, 10 minutes a night...who cares.
You're right, it's not a big deal. I'm just sick of players whining about how much trash the Celtics players talk. If you beat them, they won't be able to talk trash. It's like they're trying their hardest to make the Celtics out to be the villians. Don't bother. In the eyes of everyone outside of Boston, you're a villain as soon as you put on that green uniform. If people can talk about how much they hate Ray Allen, then you know it's a Boston thing, or at least a Celtics thing. That guy never says a word all game.
