Things are trending the right way in Brooklyn. The 2021 squad is on the cusp of embarking on the most promising playoff run in franchise history with a roster that has many picking the Nets as the title favorite.

Even Joe Tsai showed major respect to Brooklyn’s first-round opponent ... while warning that the New England club are up to no good.
