Things did not look good for the Boston Celtics when they left Atlanta down 2-0 after two poor offensive performance against the Hawks. Many had counted the Celtics out, considering that this is basically the same roster that got swept out of the first round of last years playoffs.
Things changed significantly in the past week though, as the Celtics notched wins in two close games at home and now will head back to Atlanta with the series tied at 2-2. It appears as if this series is just getting started. Like the old saying goes, a series doesn't really get started until one team steals a win on the other teams home court. The Celtics will look to do that in game five, after gaining momentum over the past two games.
Despite that momentum, it is hard to ignore how dismal the Celtics offense looked during the first two games of the series in Atlanta. The Celtics will have to get over that slump and win at least one on the road in order to win the series. After game five in Atlanta, the teams will fly back to Boston for game six. If necessary, the seventh and final game of the series will be played in Atlanta.
