Last time

The Celtics lead the series 3-1. Only 8 teams in league history have won a series after trailing 3-1.

This time

Get it to: Rajon Rondo

Let the Maestro do his thing. He's got the Hawks heads spinning on just about every possession.

Gotta stop: Jeff Teague

Teague was very effective in Games 1-3 (18 ppg), but the Celtics slowed him down in Game 4 (7 points). Gotta limit his penetration. I'm tired of seeing him drop that floater in the paint.

The Wild Card: Al Horford

After missing 4 months with a pectoral injury, Al Horford looked out-of-sync in 20 minutes of action Sunday night. He's a major upgrade over Jason Collins. The Celtics will have to respect his mid-range jumper. Plus, he can run on the break, provided his legs are there.
