The Brooklyn Nets beat the missing Boston Celtics 4-1 in the first round of the playoffs, averaging 123.4 points in five games. The trio of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden scored 85.2 points per game throughout the series. Coach Steve Nash dropped DeAndre Jordan, who he used in the regular season, out of rotation during the playoff period. Instead, he chose to play with Blake Griffin and Nicolas Claxton. In the play-off period, as in the regular season, they became the most efficient offensive team in the league. But their defense is not yet at the desired level. Even against the Celtics without Jaylen Brown, they conceded 112.2 points per game from their opponents.

Unlike the regular season, the Milwaukee Bucks swept the Miami Heat in the first round, making a quick start to the playoff period. Coach Budenholzer used his rotation well against the Heat. Putting aside the first game in the series, they got very good results from Bryn Forbes and Bobby Portis, who came from the sidelines. Unlike the regular season, Brook Lopez had far fewer tries from behind the arc and played very well on both sides of the game. But in this series, he might struggle with his replacement defense against the Nets. In this case, we can see Bobby Portis more on the parquet. Pat Connaughton was unproductive in his first five appearances after Donte DiVincenzo’s injury. On the other hand, keeping Bryn Forbes on the field against the Nets could strain the Bucks defensively.

The Milwaukee Bucks have weapons that can slow down the Brooklyn Nets’ big three. They are the most balanced team in the league in terms of offense and defense. On the other hand, we saw the defensive weaknesses of the Brooklyn Nets against the missing Boston Celtics in the first round.
