The Celtics, who have the strongest defense in the league, perfectly blocked the play of Nets general Kevin Durant in the first two games of the series, giving the Celtics an excellent advantage of 2 wins and 0 losses. Let some netizens recall the past in 2018 and lament how powerful LeBron James was back then.
The reason is that the Cavaliers, led by James, also lost the first two games against the Celtics in the Eastern Division Championship Series, but James then led the team to fight back with amazing arrogance, even if another Cavaliers star Lost. Kevin Love retired with an injury not long after Game 6 of the series, and James eventually helped the Cavaliers beat the Celtics 4-3.
What you have to know is that excluding this year, the Celtics have gone 2-0 in a playoff series 41 times in total, and they ended up winning the series 40 times, losing only once. Just from James in 2018.
In 2018, James, who dominated the 7-game series against the Celtics, averaged 33.6 points, 9.0 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game, while shooting 50% to 24% from the field and 40% to 09 from the outside. He scored more than 40 points in 3 of 7 games. In the sixth and seventh games that were on the verge of elimination, James scored a total of 81 points. This is the fifth consecutive postseason in his career. The series led the team to eliminate the Celtics.
The Celtics were also the league’s top defensive powerhouse back then, with key players including Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Al Horford and Theis (Daniel Theis), still the current core member of the Celtics, has also made many fans quite curious, whether Durant and Irving (Kyrie Irving) can help the Nets reverse their current disadvantage.
