Who was Worried about the Celtics Losing to the Hawks?!

I know a lot of you guys was probably thinking the Boston Celtics was going to lose to the Atlanta Hawks… come on! The Celtics let it go to game 7 for great publicity. They did that on purpose!
Okay, they didn’t. And if they lost to the 8th seed in the first round, I would have been pissed. And I can guarantee you that I wouldn’t have been the only one. Shoot, I was biting my nails a little bit going into Sunday’s game but then again, that’s just a bad habit of mine. It’s not like I was nervous or anything. I mean, they always win by a double digit margin but it just seemed hard for them to win on the road.
Though, they had a great record during the regular season. But we’re in the playoffs now so the regular season has nothing to do with anything.
Anyways, I know the Atlanta Hawks weren’t feeling too great after their loss. To be specific, a 34-point loss. Now, that’s pretty bad especially how the Hawks were thinking they had a chance.
Though, the Celtics were one of the best defensive teams this year and it definitely showed when push comes to shove (or whatever that phrase is). I mean, a team that can hold their opponents to only 65 total points and 29.3% shooting from the field, those stats just speak for itself!
So, congratulations to Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and the rest of the Boston Celtics for advancing… next up, Lebron James and the Cavs…
