Boston Celtics at Atlanta Hawks Pick
While Boston has a catalogue of performances that sell its stock and create fanfare, the Hawks own a win that bolsters their viability in this contest. The story should not be called the unleashing of the Mean Green Celtic Fighting Machine but rather How The Hawks Got Their Groove Back. A win against Cleveland on the road for Atlanta will invigorate this team moving forward and put an end to the woes they have suffered along the way. The Celtics may indeed continue their winning streak but there is without question that those wishing to back such a proposition are paying an inflated number to do so. Atlanta was a double-digit dog last in Cleveland and dominated. They are being show little respect here today and the public has dismissed them overall. Quality fade opportunity; take the points.
