2016 Playoffs: (4) Hawks vs. (5) Celtics

Postby Lamrock on Thu Apr 14, 2016 12:45 pm

Boston comes back from down 25 to beat Miami only to still not have homecourt advantage, and be stuck in the same part of the Eastern Conference bracket as the Cavs.

The Celtics are a good team, but the Hawks have low-key been the East's second best team as of late. I think Boston can win a couple, but ATL gets it in 6.

I'll go with the Celtics in seven, just to make a bold pick.

Hawks in 7. Expect Millsap to be abusive and Cs won't be able to handle his physical plays.

As much as I would want Atlanta to go deep this playoffs, the Celtics are no strangers to surprising NBA teams with their level of play.

Celtics have clawed their way back into it, though.

So close, and yet so far for the Celtics in that one, following the comeback.

I love this matchup. Two fiesty teams. Hopefully Bradley isn't done for, that'd be a shame. Smart can't take over his spot.

I don't think that the Celtics have what it takes to beat the Hawks. They'll keep on getting massacred inside. Hawks in 6 at most.

Those 7 Celtic 1st quarter points must be a new playoff low, or at least a franchise low. That team is absolutely lost without the one-two punch of Bradley and Thomas. What could have been a fun series has suddenly turned to shit.

No Kell-eh, either. I'm not feeling very confident about that Celtics in 7 pick, that's for sure.

It's unfortunate the Celtics somehow made the playoffs. It's equivalent to having 76ers for the playoffs. They're bringing down quality of basketball and making the league look bad.
