The Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics are going to play each other in Game 1 of the first round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs, but the battle for supremacy in the league’s Eastern Conference has already begun in an outbreak of perhaps poorly-chosen verbiage.
Speaking to the media after their play-in win over the Cleveland Cavaliers to secure the East’s seventh seed and the right to play the second-seeded Celtics, an enthusiastic Bruce Brown let his thoughts about the incoming series with Boston and said some things he probably wished he was able to retract almost as soon as he had said them out loud.
Superstar teammate Kevin Durant certainly did — and said as much.
They will likely have the toughest path to them if they succeed, however. https://t.co/GSJMaHRbKS
