Well first of all Atlanta swept them this season, but it's not so much getting swept as the manner in which it happened. They cannot guard Crawford or Johnson and they struggle bad to score the ball against the Hawks' athletic front court.
Atlanta just matches up very very well with them. Celtics are a high turnover team anyway and the Hawks will get points off the majority of their turnovers the way they can run the break, plus one of Atlanta's main weaknesses is rebounding the basketball but Boston cannot take advantage of that.
Atlanta took them to 7 2 years ago and they weren't half the team they are now, while Boston was twice as good. IF they meet this season, I have Atlanta in 6 MAX, prob 5.
