Gee, What a shock! Nets *Yawn* Blow Out Celtics in Playoff Opener

 NETS 104 - CELTICS 93 

To really nobody's surprise the Brooklyn Nets pulled away and easily won their opening game of their first round series against the Boston Celtics 104-93. 

After the Celtics gave us a nice tease, when they lead the Nets 53-47 at the break, the Nets "Big 3" got the memo that it was time to actually try and combined to score 28 of Brooklyn's 31 points in the third quarter as the Nets pulled out in front and never trailed again. 

The turnaround was huge, considering Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant and James Harden were a combined 0-for-11 from beyond the arch, and a combined 5-for-20 from the floor in the first half. 

But this is the kind of team the Nets have been all year. They are so talented, and All Star heavy that it doesn't take much for them to overcome teams. It's almost like the Nets are bored before the game even tips-off. 

It's their boredom that makes them a boring watch, and also makes them susceptible to getting picked off later in the postseason by a better team than Boston.  

Overall, Durant finished with 32 points on 10-of-25 shooting, and was a stellar 11-of-12 from the free throw line. That more than made up for his dismal 1-for-8 from three. 

Kyrie Irving dropped 29 on Boston, while Harden had only 21 points. 

It was only the ninth game these three NBA superstars have played together as Nets. 

So the Nets are up 1-0 in this series; what a shock (not). It will only be shocking if the Nets lose a game to Boston in this series.
