Celtics (2-0) at Hawks (0-2) Round 1 Game 3 4/21/23

[SparzWizard]

Celtics were kinda relaxing with their 2-0 series ,   Hawks were in desperation mode = loss for Celtics .   It takes a team made of KG types to destroy all opponents, whoever is in you way run over them attitude . Dray Green does for Warriors , impresses the never let up on anybody mindset.

These Celtics are pretty easy going bunch as a whole .  They are winners,  but not killers.

This is really it...they periodically need to be reminded to grind opponents into the dust. They don't have that chip on their shoulder that someone like KG or PP had. Then again, PP and KG had suffered years and years of disappointment before having a team that could win it all, and they didn't want to waste their opportunity. Our kids have been successful since they've gone into the league so maybe they haven't been tempered by that adversity of finishing in the lottery.

Too bad Al Horford don't have that same mental killer toughness like KG and PP had. Else he'd be able to get his team to grind and play bully ball on the nightly. And coach is also too soft
