I'm not underestimating this team just because they are without Josh Smith. They need to still be taken very seriously. The Celtics have to come out tonight and play some very good basketball. They need to get it done on the defensive end.
They just play some nice, lockdown defense, and run their offense properly without making too many mistakes, and they should be all good. Pretty much, I tend to be so emotionally attached to games sometimes, that I sometimes feel like my mental mindset affects the game, but I know, and you guys all know that's rubbish. Only the Celtics can determine the outcome of this game today. Only they can go out and get what we all believe should be the expected result with so many of Atlanta's better players out. The Celtics gotta come into this game from the get go, treating it as if they are down and there is absolutely no room for error.
Let's go Celtics!!!!
