The Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets are two franchises with unusually intertwined fates over the course of the last decade, and that entanglement hasn’t lessened since the infamous deal that set the Celtics up for a post-Banner 17 future back in 2013.
With former Celtic Kyrie Irving playing alongside superstar Kevin Durant, the balance of power between the clubs has shifted back in the other direction — but will the basketball gods continue to favor Williamsburg’s finest? With health a nagging issue for both teams in recent years and a potential James Harden trade perhaps tempting the Nets as much as the Celtics, the two teams just can’t seem to snap that funky connection.
To that end, we got together with Jac Manuel of Brooklyn Buzz and Nick Friar of our sister site Nets Wire to talk everything Nets-Celtics BUT the Christmas Day game — and we had plenty of things to say.
Join Cam Tabatabaie (Celtics Hub), Alex Goldberg (Off the Glass) and Justin Quinn (Celtics Wire) as we get our bearings on both teams for the 2020-21 season.
