celtics afterthoughts: so not a rivalry

Posted on | March 29, 2009 | Comments

Celtics @ Hawks 99-93

Celtics seemed to have this one from the jump. Ahead the whole game, at times by a pretty healthy margin. Hawks made a run in the 4th that was a little scary, but in the end, the Celtics won by 6 and all was right with the world. Pre-game, there was a little buzz surrounding some comments Rondo made to the media about the Hawks not being much of a rival. Shouldn’t have been a surprise though, since KG said the same thing the last few times someone asked him about the so-called “rivalry” with the Hawks. It’s kind of like Shaq/Oden and Lebron/Deshawn. At this juncture, the Hawks are a low-level ninja named Soulja Boy.
