Boston Looks to Serve Brooklyn a Green Bean…
Boston Celtics, on a quest for their 50th win, are preparing to host the Brooklyn Nets for the final episode of their season saga. With a clean 3-0 slate against Brooklyn this season, the Celtics are feeling like the class nerd ready to ace another test. Boston’s historical dominance (144-74 overall against the Nets) feels like swatting flies with a textbook rather than a flyswatter.
The Celtics are perched comfortably 2nd in the East, looking down from their throne at Cleveland, New York, and Milwaukee—probably sipping tea and dunking biscuits. Meanwhile, the Nets are like the kid left behind in gym class, lingering in 13th place. With road game woes evident in their 12-23 tally, Brooklyn seems to be searching for directions to victory lane.
Boston’s roster may have a couple of hobbling heels, with potential sit-outs like Jayson Tatum. In contrast, the Nets are dealing with a treatment room full of bandages, with key scorers like Cam Thomas out entirely—leaving them holding the bag and wondering who’s going to save the day. The C’s plan to dazzle at home before beginning their epic Western road show, while the Nets look to find some semblance of glory in this wild ride.
