The Boston Celtics are a better basketball team than the Atlanta Hawks. That has been apparent through the first two games of their first round series. Of course, that’s a dangerous sentiment with a team that has shown a tendency all year to let their collective feet off the proverbial pedal when they get up on an inferior opponent.
I get that this is a bad matchup for the Hawks and that they are going through something of an identity crisis right now. But I always cringe when I hear sports personalities (let’s call this one “Sill Bimmons”) use the old “I don’t know what adjustments the Hawks can make” line.
