While the Brooklyn Nets — or at least Bruce Brown — may be chomping at the bit to face the Boston Celtics with an anticipation of exploiting the Celtics’ perceived lack of high-level players in their frontcourt, for Boston star forward Jayson Tatum the matchup is one he and his Celtics are very much looking forward to with a requisite level of respect for their opponent.
The St. Louis native had plenty to say about the looming first-round matchup with the Nets at TD Garden this Sunday and shared some of his thoughts about Boston’s opponents after practice on Wednesday afternoon.
“Everybody knows the talent they have, and that it’s not a traditional seventh-seeded team,” explained Tatum.
The Nets are healthier than yesterday, but Boston has players on the mend as well. https://t.co/HnxDkKhDVH
