The last time the Boston Celtics faced the Atlanta Hawks, they lost All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo for the remainder of the season and were on their longest skid in nearly six years. Since then they have gone 14-4, and now the Celtics don't just have a good shot at the playoffs, but a real good shot at being a top 4 team in the East.
One of the biggest reasons for this turnaround is the play of Bradley. KG said the other day he is the most important player to this defense, and I can't argue with that (even though it's probably still KG). This team's defense has been completely different since he came back, and it seems like it's only getting strong as the season goes on.
As for the game tonight I am not a believer in the Hawks at all. They should've dealt Josh Smith, and in general I think they are a soft team. The Celtics are just 1 game back of them in the standing so this is actually an important game.
Games in Boston, and the Celtics are making their push. I think they win tonight, and win it pretty easily.
Celtics win 93-86
Tommy Award: Bradley
Game starts at 8pm
