The Boston Celtics were supposed to be resting up by now, getting ready for the next round of the playoffs.Instead, they're headed back to Beantown all tied up with the lowly Atlanta Hawks , who are starting to believe -- really believe -- they can shock the world.
That IS where Boston has gone wrong, you had a young immature team dead in the water. Now they have won two games in a row and BELIEVE that if they win game 5 in Boston (Wednesday night @ 8:30 pm et) that the series will be over in game 6. The Hawks have the right to believe so I mean thus far Boston has done NOTHING to make these young guys feel uncomfortable at home.
* Atlanta has won ONLY 12 road games the entire season.
* The Hawks have won five of their last six home playoff games against the Celtics.
* After averaging 9.5 points per game in the first two Atlanta losses, Josh Smith is averaging 27.5 in the last two wins.
* The Hawks still face an uphill battle. Boston is 28-0 all-time in series when they have had a 2-0 lead in the series.
