Boston Celtcis Team News

Already in the first match against the Hawks, the Celtics sent a clear message to everyone about what kind of team they are and that this year they are ready to take a step forward and reach 18 trophies in the history of the franchise. Finally, they have everything that they lacked in previous years, which is, first of all, experience, real leaders, all players are healthy, and especially what is important, unreal width in all positions. Just look at the fact that the third five of this team consists of former All-Star player Blake Griffin, long-time captain of the Thunder, Mike Muscala, and the guys who decided the seventh match against the Bucks last year, Payton Pritchard and Grant Williams!

However, the Celtics shortened the rotation to 8 players and defeated the Hawks in the first match, and the difference went over 30 points at some point. They scored an incredible 45 points in the second quarter, while the Hawks scored 44 at halftime. Tatum and Brown are playing great. Safe and with great confidence. White, Smart, and Brogdon complement each other brilliantly in both directions and open up a lot of easy points for Rob Williams and Al Horford, who is playing in a trance again when the playoffs begin.

“Mazzulla ball” or the flow forced by the Celtics coach this season is working great, and they have raised the defense to a higher level, so the Hawks are in serious problems, especially in passing the ball.

Atlanta Hawks Team News

The Hawks changed their coach during the season, the experienced Nate McMillan was replaced by Quinn Snyder, who had great results with the Utah Jazz. He needs some time though. Especially to establish defensive principles, but also to control the first stars of the team. They reached the playoffs with a somewhat surprising victory against the Miami Heat away from home in the play-in!

At the beginning of the season, they supplemented their very strong and talented team with ALL-Star player Dejounte Murray, who played an unreal last season and brought great strength, first of all, to the defense of the Hawks team. However, the team’s alpha and omega is Trae Young, who leads the team in both points and assists. When Young “fires”, all teams are in trouble. However, in the first match against the Celtics, he had big problems with passing the ball and organizing the game. Smart and White took turns on it, and above all, they can physically control Young.

The Hawks have a very powerful center line, but they didn’t show it against the Celtics, who outplayed them, especially in the second quarter, which decided the match.

Boston Celtcis vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction

In the first match, the Celtics showed serious authority and confidence in the game, and we expect it to be the same this time. This season, the Celts played four matches against the Hawks and won all four times very easily. A 9-point win is a relatively big mark, but we think the Celtics are breaking it this time!
