The Atlanta Hawks took the Celtics to seven games during the first round of the NBA Playoffs last season. After a tumultuous off-season where super sub Josh Childress took his bad teeth across the pond the Hawks are now the lone unbeaten team in the Eastern Conference at 6-0.Last season's Hawks won 37 regular season games and were crushed all four times they faced the C's in Boston including Game 7 where the Celts took care of business, 99-65.
From today's Atlanta Journal Constitution:
“I’d just like to win one game up there,” said Hawks center Zaza Pachulia, whose nose-to-nose stare down of Garnett in Game 4 made him a fan favorite for life in Atlanta and an eternal villain in Boston. “They’re a great team. But we came so close in that series. If we could have just pulled one game out on their floor, we’d have shocked the world.”
An "eternal villain in Boston." Really? We own 17 NBA titles and they think we're still dwelling on Game 4 against a 37 win team? Last year the Hawks couldn't even come close in the Garden and we're 4-0 to start the season at home. Gotta love the C's tonight and I hope KG rests his nutsack firmly on Pachulia's chin.
