Celts Sweep Nets.

3. The 1st half of the year, they really never had the whole team playing.

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.

Good. Long time Celtics fan.

The Memphis Minnesota series is very entertaining.

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.

6. Kevin Durant would like to report a crime. He got mugged 4 games in a row by multiple perps.

Things were pretty hazy, though, after the 1st quarter of the 1st game.
