I’m liking the Celtics here (though, I am a Celtics fan so that’s to be expected), however, from an unbiased perspective the Celtics do appear to have the edge here, and I think the last game played v the Hawks this season is the reason why. The Celtics intentionally sat Kevin Garnet, Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo, with Allen injured. And the Celtics bench still kept the game w/in 5 points in the loss. That’s pretty impressive for only one starter (Bradley) to be playing in the game.

I think the Celtics took the correct approach to the last few games also, giving the bench a ton of time on the court to shake off the rust, and gel as a unit. Either way, their D should certainly show up like an iron curtain in the first round, and it’ll be a tough test on both sides of the ball.

Good luck to both teams, and let the best one win!

I’d like to see Celtics coming out on top.
