"People wanted to see us fail at this juncture. Picked us as contenders and have so much to say at this point. So I'm just using it as fuel for the summer" - Kyrie Irving pic.twitter.com/XvZufLuvqm

The Nets are arguably the biggest disappointment in the NBA this season as they have Irving and Kevin Durant in their primes and could not win a single game in the first-round.  

Irving finished with 20 points, five rebounds and five assists in the loss. 

The two All-Stars (Irving and Durant) signed with the Nets in the summer of 2019, and the team has not been out of the second-round of the playoffs in their tenure. 

As for the Celtics, they did not blow out the Nets in either of the four games, but they made all the right players down the stretch.  

They look like a team who is poised to make a deep run in the playoffs. 

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have been to multiple Eastern Conference Finals, but never made their way to the NBA Finals. 

There is a good case to be made that this could be their season.
