Re: 1st Round Boston vs Atlanta

Too bad I was right about this game. The Hawks just couldn't do anything in the Garden.

I wonder what this series will end up meaning, if anything. Were the Celtics that much better at home (or worse on the road), or was it entirely because the Hawks' level of play was so horrendous on the road? If it's the latter, then Boston will have to worry about not being able to get wins on the road against these tougher teams. That would be surprising, considering how strong they were on the road during the regular season, but maybe it'll be an Achilles heel for them. Having HCA throughout the playoffs does relieve some of that pressure, but you definitely can't win a title if you can't win ANY games on the road in the playoffs. Nobody's ever been able to do that.
