The Boston Celtics have completed the victory at the Brooklyn Nets. After losing to Brooklyn in the first round a year ago, Boston avenged that series in a big way, dominating the Nets in a four-game sweep. A team picked by many to win the NBA championship will go home without a single playoff win. Draymond Green, a former teammate of Nets star Kevin Durant, shared this tweet during the game:
Draymond’s tweet came right after Jayson Tatum committed his 6th foul, so apparently he was responding to that; However, the outspoken gamer/analyst may be saving his latest reaction for a podcast episode.
With Steph Curry and Draymond Green getting the Golden State Warriors off to a hot start this season, many predicted they would face Brooklyn in the Finals. Of course, that won’t happen as the nets are officially ready.
There’s also, of course, the story many believe led to Durant’s departure from Golden State when Draymond told him the Warriors had won without him and didn’t need him. The two have since reconciled, appearing on podcasts together and openly admitting their beef is behind them. However, this is in fact an underlying story that exists with Durant’s early exit from the playoffs.
With the Nets already eliminated, Draymond and the Warriors are one win away from progressing to the next round and will try that at home on Wednesday.
