Anyone notice throughout the Celtics vs Nets first round series, most of the press was on how poorly Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving were shooting and not how great Boston's league leading defense was playing? Much more was written about Ben Simmons not returning for Games 3 and 4, than Robert Williams' quick recovery from knee surgery.
And when Boston completed the sweep, all the NBA shows and media could talk about was what a colossal disappointment the Nets were. When Jordan's Bulls finally took down the Pistons, they got their due. Now you had the Celtics avenging a 5 game loss to the Nets last season with a sweep, and that wasn't the story.
