No one thought the Celtics vs. Hawks series would go 7. So the question is now was the series foreshadowing flaws of the Celtics that will cause them to lose or where their loses just an anomaly and a byproduct of being rusty. The series did show off the Celtics weaknesses; Doc Rivers is an unproven coach in the playoffs who makes questionable decisions, the team does look kinda old sometimes and thus was vulnerable to the young and athletic Hawks, KG and Pierce seem like neither wants to be "the man" which a team usually needs in the playoffs, and they  let the road crowd get to them. However, I do think the series was an Anomaly in that the Hawks young talent created tough match ups for the Celtics. In a way, I think the Celtics are better matched up against more experienced veteran teams like Detroit. As for their chances against Cleveland, I will give my predictions Monday Night.
