We did our best to convince ourselves that the first-round series between the Atlanta Hawks and Boston Celtics would be more competitive than it has been so far. But what looked like an Eastern Conference playoff series that might be over in five or maybe six games is starting to look like it might not even be the so-called gentleman’s sweep.
With the Celtics up 2-0 in the series, play shifts to State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Will a home-crowd boost be enough to lift Atlanta to a win?
The hosts of the semi-eponymous “Cedric Maxwell” podcast on the CLNS Media network debated this question on a recent episode.
Tune in to the clip embedded above to hear where hosts Cedric Maxwell and Josue Pavon fall on whether the Hawks can make the series at least a little competitive.
