The Hawks are a "really" good young team. But they are "young." The Celtics stepped it up big time on defense today. They played ball denial to perfection. They made the Hawks work on every possession. They thought they had them figured out after the first two losses but they didn't. Today they had to remove their dignity and they did.
But.
They Hawks have served noticed. They only won 37 games and were the last team to qualify for the playoffs. That's the east. The Warriors on the other hand, won 48 games and just missed the playoffs. That's the west. I think the Hawks will only get better. The flagrant foul my Marvin on Rondo was also a serve notice gesture. You may beat us, but you're gonna pay the price too. Great series. Now there's no Spearmint to share it with (sigh).
