2023 EC Round 1: (2) Boston Celtics vs. (7) Atlanta Hawks

[Hey Yo]

That doesn’t sound right. They beat the Lakers in game 6 of 2008 by 39. Unless I’m reading your post wrong.

Edit: do you mean in a game 1?

They said "lead by 30 during the game" so I'm assuming they're not counting the final score deficit. It may have been just for a game 1??

[Street Hunger]

Hawks kept it interesting. Celtics will win but just a 14 pt game with 3:30 left.

And now 12.

[Axe]

Wow, they still managed to cut a significant lead/deficit somehow. Makes it interesting indeed.

[Street Hunger]

Celtics have so many contributors

[Street Hunger]

Who on the Hawks can step up?

[Real Men Wear Green]

Celtics fell asleep. Would have been nice to see them dish out a 50 point beating but don't read much into this"comeback."

[Street Hunger]

Is Trae Young a real leader?

[Street Hunger]

Celtics with a clear Game 1 win.

[Jasper]

17% from 3 is not the Hawks at all.
Next game different story.

Is Trae Young a real leader?

Not even close

[ShawkFactory]

The Celtics are just so solid. They get every rebound and loose ball. They pass well, defend well, can shoot the 3 and they have star power. Might be the most well-rounded team in the league.

For the first time since March 15, the Bucks are NOT favored to win the NBA championship

The Celtics are now +270 to win it all

How can the hawks be so offensively challenged??
Fkn amateur hour
