Can the Brooklyn Nets defeat the Boston Celtics in the 2022 East NBA Playoffs’ first round?

This is likely to be one of the more compelling matchups of the postseason.

The tables have turned between the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets in the regular season, with each taking a similar path to their current two – seven matchup in the Eastern Conference postseason. The Celtics now have the momentum going into the 2022 NBA Playoffs from a position of strength, while now it is the Nets who had to fight back from the ravages of injury to secure a spot in the playoffs via the play-in tournament.

Both teams are among the most elite offenses in the league, and both teams have a key frontcourt player who might return later in the series. Brooklyn has a championship pedigree, and Boston by far the better defense — which team is going to win and advance?

The host of the “Locked on Today” podcast Peter Bukowski recently weighed in on a recent episode, hearing from guest Adam Armbrecht about how the Nets might be able to pull out a win against Boston.
