The Boston Celtics are gearing up for Game 1 of their first-round series with the Brooklyn Nets this coming Sunday, April 17, hoping to start the 2022 NBA Playoffs out with a win. With one of the league’s best offenses, they hope to offset the concentrated firepower of the Nets that is superstar forward Kevin Durant and star point guard Kyrie Irving and their experience winning banners with the top defense in the league and their depth.
Who has the coaching advantage with two relatively new head coaches helming each team? When will big men Robert Williams III and Ben Simmons return for each team respectively — and will it be soon enough to matter? Are there any adjustments or other personnel in this series that Brooklyn or Boston need to plan ahead for? And what about the path beyond the Nets and the season leading up to it?
There’s a host of things to discuss to get our bearings on this series, and to that end, we brought on legendary Celtics beat writer and current Heavy NBA reporter Steve Bulpett to talk it out.
Join your usual hosts Alex Goldberg, Cameron Tabatabaie, and Justin Quinn as we chop it up with Bulpett — and stick around for the barbecue advice.
