The Calm Before The Storm: Atlanta Hawks vs. Boston Celtics
Xavier Cooper says the anticipation is building for Friday’s tilt against the Boston Celtics. So many story lines exist. Is there still bad blood from last season’s playoff series? How will fans react to Al Horford‘s return? Most importantly, who will get the win?
My plea to Hawks fans to show Al Horford some respect on Friday night. Don’t forget about his nine years of service to the organization. That doesn’t disappear just because he changed teams.
