Are we really looking at a sweep?
This series proves it, the Atlanta blueprint is cute and all, but the NBA still hasn't changed. You need at least 1 superstar talent to be considered a true title contender. How the Hawks fared in this series was going to be very telling for the Celtics in terms of how just far away they are from a title. Unfortunately, the Hawks are proving that a team with a star or two (note: star, not SUPERstar) and a bunch of solid role players playing great regular season team ball still doesn't ultimately get a title.
