Celtics (7-1) vs. Hawks (6-0)
Boston needs to finally wake up in the first quarter. The Hawks aren’t cupcakes anymore.
The memory of last spring’s seven-game series won’t go away so fast.
“It seems like a blur now. I just remember the situation,” Ray Allen said before the game. “Just feeling the desperation to want to win.”
Zaza Pachulia just got booed pretty hard during the starting lineups. That’s kinda funny.
12-year-old Delaney Jordan — 12! — sang the National Anthem. Best rendition I’ve heard in a while.
A lot of talk in the pregame about Atlanta’s improved defense and how the Hawks have modeled themselves after the Celtics. … Doc Rivers said he wasn’t worried about the condition of Paul Pierce’s sore right hand. Typical coach answer, but I believe him…
Keep on coming, I’ll be back in a few.
