Atlanta Hawks vs. Boston Celtics
In Game 1 between the Atlanta Hawks and Boston Celtics, the NBA Playoffs action wasn’t anything pretty, but it seemed like this Eastern Conference first round series was going to be one of the most tightly contested of the postseason. However, an injury to Avery Bradley in Game 1 seemingly derailed that and the Hawks trounced the Celtics in Game 2. Now with the series shifting to TD Garden for Game 3, Boston will look to show some sort of fight in the 2016 NBA Playoffs.

With Bradley out for the Celtics, the responsibilities of both Isaiah Thomas and Marcus Smart increase a ridiculous amount. Not only do they have to pick up their scoring and shoot well on the perimeter, but the Boston guards have to show up consistently on the defensive end in the NBA Playoffs if the team is to have any sort of success. As for the Hawks, they’ll continue to have the advantage in regards to Al Horford and Paul Millsap in the frontcourt and they are undoubtedly going be at the heart of the Atlanta attack on Friday night while the Hawks look to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series.
