Eastern Conference | Round 1 | (2) Boston Celtics vs. (7) Brooklyn Nets

[Mike lorenzo]

the Nets win... if Simons returns close to his level... they win the championship, they are simply better... of course they can always get hurt etc... it reminds me of the Lakers bubble...

A 7 seed has never won ****. This year is no different. Meaningless series anyway. Winning team will get destroyed by the champs in 2nd round.

Probably the first round series with the most entertainment potential, also both teams are in the top 5 for championship odds so it feels pretty meaningful.

rs is useless measurement. i would have given celtics edge if timelord was healthy but with him gone this is easy win for bkn in 5 or 6.
if both simmons and timelord return, i give edge to bkn too their big 3 demolishes.

I can't wrap my head around the sentiment that Brooklyn is gonna demolish Boston.

Outside of KD, Boston is better in talent all the way to the end of the roster. They're better coached. Their defensive is more systemic. The offense moves better.

KD's advantages over Tatum just don't outweigh every other advantage Boston has.

Brooklyn could win the series, it could happen. But it won't be less than 7 games, and Boston in about 6 seems about right.

This is going to be an entertaining series.

I like the Nets in 6.

Celtics peaked too early, the loss of Robert Williams is being grossly understated, and KD/Kyrie >>> Tatum/Brown.

Nets in 6.

Never before was it 2022 either... if we talk about past history... 2 sizes less than KD's shoe and Buck would not be champions

Winner of this is likely going to ECF. I think this is more of a 2nd round matchup than a 1st but I do think whomever comes out of this will likely be heading to the ECF.

Depends on whether the Bucks pull out some of their Mortal Kombat moves again...

no need ,there will be an altercation between Tatum and Kyrie ,Kyrie mad from fasting will bite tatum's ear ,JB fasting too will bite Durants calf all 4 of them are expelled so Bucks are in EFC .

You're watching too much zombie movies

If no Robert Williams I'm going Nets in a 7 game series for the ages. Boston has a way better supporting cast but I really think KD and Kyrie will go off this series. All of this is of course dependent on their health which has been a question mark the last few years.

I guess you folks don’t remember how hard the Nets had to play to squeak by some really bad teams down the stretch.

Celtics in 5.

[ArksNetsSince99]

I smell sage in td garden , celtics is toast

[bisme37]

Ok I'm officially nervous as hell haha.

32 pages of both fanbases hyping their team but I imagine most of us secretly understand this will be a great challenge for both teams.

Enjoy the big game, everyone. Here's hoping for a fun and injury free series and may the best team win!

To be fair, we also have to remember when Giannis put up 44/14 two weeks ago and the Bucks needed overtime to beat the Nets by 1.

Nets have a tendency to show up on both ends in the big games. Should be one hell of an interesting series.

I hope we have a great game. Most of the round 1 was boring one side blowouts so far.

Whelp Heat game over, on to the pretenders matchup...
