Game 2 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals is tonight for the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets. Like the first game of the series, Vegas expects the Cs to potentially lose by double digits at the Barclays Center.
It’s an unfortunate reality that Boston is not only expected to lose but not even be competitive. That’s what having a banged-up rotation while playing one of the league’s most talented teams will do.
If you’re looking for scapegoats for what will likely go down as a lost season in the careers of the C’s two franchise stars (the Jays), blaming injuries to the team’s top four players is the easiest short-term answer to explain away.
