In part. The Lakers still had to work to beat the Nuggets. It didn't come with complete ease. My Celtics, unfortunately, seem to be choking at the worst possible time (that's the part I take back.)
It's strange how the Celtics and Patriots have switched roles with the Red Sox. It used to be that the oldtime Celtics and 2001-2004 Patriots would win in the clutch, and the Red Sox would always find a way to blow it. Now, it's the Red Sox who pull off stunning comebacks and the Celtics and Patriots who choke. Oh well. At least Boston teams are perennially competitive now.
Either the Celtics will use this unexpectedly tight series against the Hawks to catapult them to a higher level, or they will completely fold. I have no idea which scenario is likelier. What I do know is that the Cleveland Cavaliers suddenly look like the team to beat in the East.
