With Game 1 of their series with the Brooklyn Nets a loss and the team’s prospects for winning even a single game of the matchup diminished, it would be easy to go doom and gloom about the Boston Celtics’ 104-93 loss to the Nets Saturday night.
But despite the sting of defeat, a fair number of positives could be taken from the contest – and the potential for an upset win or two is still out there albeit with fewer chances to accomplish them. To take stock of what we saw and bring in an opposing view on the series, we invited the editor of our sister site Nets Wire to come on the Celtics Lab podcast. Ajayi Browne had plenty to say about the series so far.
We get into Robert Williams III’s big game, where the Celtics could have done better, and even take a look around the league’s other postseason games to close the session.
