Boston is going to get swept 4-0 to the Nets
At the end of the day, if the Celtics had Jaylen Brown and others on their roster fully healthy, they may be able to steal a game or two against the Nets, but with limited firepower and the fact that they got swept 3-0 by them during the regular season, I just do not see Boston being able to win a game in this series.
Now, if Jayson Tatum has another game like he did against the Wizards and can go for 50+ points, as well as Kemba Walker having close to 30 points in the same game, then yes, Boston could potentially steal a game, but there is no chance that they can do this 4 times and pull off one of the biggest upsets in NBA Playoff history.

Brooklyn may have some struggles at times in terms of being on the same page as a team, but at the end of the day, they have three of the best players of this generation on the same team and they are not going to have any long-term chemistry problems that will prevent them from winning a championship.
These guys have all been friends for years now and have played together on the same All-Star/Team USA teams throughout the years, so they know how to play with one another. Not to mention, guys like Harden, Irving and Durant can go to a local park and play lights-out together because that’s how good they are as pure basketball talents.
Brooklyn is not going to have a hard time disposing of the Boston Celtics in the playoffs and quite honestly, we may see some 20+ point blowouts in this series because Boston just does not have enough firepower to keep up with the Nets on the offensive-end of the court.
