Celts Sweep Nets.

I think Nets have a lot of issues, in spite of 2 great players in Durant and Irving. Celtics set the tone after Game1. Celts outplayed the Nets in games 2,3,4. This team is peaking perfectly in this playoff/

Covid, injuries really kept them in a 50-50 mode. But the 2nd half, the whole team played consistently together. This is a team that is only going to get better. Smart, Tatum, Brown, and Williams III are under 25. Add Smart, Horford, Theis, and Williams XII....and you got a core that is going to contend for awhile.

Edit to add: Udoka is a great coach for this team. He clearly has taken this team to the next level.

The Nets fans were chanting "We want Boston" after taking out the Cavs...well they got their wish.

I agree completely though the Nets have a ton of issues.
