The Hawks come to town tonight in a game that will be televised on ESPN at 8 p.m., Eastern.
Other than opening night in Cleveland, this game is unsurpassed in importance by any other thus far in this young season. Ever since the Hawks took us to seven games in the 2008 playoffs, they've loomed as a potential thorn in our side, if not a real contender. However, they have yet to make that leap against us, getting swept during the last two regular seasons and losing nine in a row in our barn.
At 6-2, Atlanta is off to a fast start and is the favorite to be the fourth seed in the East (behind us, Orlando, and Cleveland). A victory in Boston might start to give them ideas that they can beat the Celtics in a playoff series. That's why a win is important tonight.
