The Atlanta Hawks have struggled in their first round series against the Boston Celtics, and the limits of Hawks star Trae Young and the rise of Boston guard Derrick White have been two major reasons why. Now, the series is heading back to Atlanta with the Celtics holding a 2-0 series lead.
Can the Hawks make a series of things with the small ball lineup that found a modicum of success against Boston in the second half of Game 2? How important is Derrick White and his breakout play for the Celtics’ title hopes? And what else can this series tell us about the rest of Boston’s postseason?
To answer these questions and get our bearings on the first round at what increasingly seems like it will be the halfway point of it, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast (powered by Fan Duel and Better Help) got together with NBC Sports Boston’s Max Lederman to talk it over. They also talk about the details of the new CBA that were recently revealed, check in on season-long award chatter, and more.
