Brooklyn is advancing to the playoffs as the 7th seed and will face Boston - which could be the best first round series for this year’s playoffs with all the subplots (Kyrie vs. the Celts, Ben Simmons’ return). Boston won the season series, 3-1 but will be without Time Lord as their defensive anchor for the first round. They still have the personnel to match up with the Nets, who will need KD and Kyrie to deliver each game if they want to score an upset.
