The fourth-seeded Celtics will open their first-round playoff series on the road against the fifth-seeded Atlanta Hawks, mostly due to the fact that the Celtics couldn't have cared less about earning home-court advantage for one round and preferred rest and health over one extra home game. That was clearly evident with the starting lineups that Doc Rivers threw out onto the floor over the last week with the chance of earning home-court still in the balance. Regardless, here's the full schedule for the first-round series that was released by the NBA last night. Game 1 - Sun. April 29, Boston at Atlanta, 7 p.m., TNT Game 2 - Tue. May 1, Boston at Atlanta, 7:30 p.m., NBA TV Game 3 - Fri. May 4, Atlanta at Boston, 7:30 p.m., ESPN2 Game 4 - Sun May 6, Atlanta at Boston, 7 p.m., TNT Game 5 * Tue. May 8, Boston at Atlanta, TBD Game 6 * Thu. May 10, Atlanta at Boston, TBD Game 7 * Sat. May 12, Boston at Atlanta, TBD, TNT
