The Bostonians took a break and finished their series faster than the Radiance.
Although they surprisingly lost a game against the Bucks in the first round, the Celtics entered the semifinals with a 4-1 record.
However, against the strong New Jersey Nets in the semifinals, the Celtics didn't waste any time.
4-0, they swept the Nets in New Jersey, advancing to the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals, awaiting the arrival of the Radiance.
Kenyon Martin was turned into a bewitched doll by Tim Duncan during the series, and hanging himself seemed like his only way out.
They are both top picks, so why is there such a vast difference? Martin was fiercely overpowered by Duncan, continuously being blocked with satisfaction.
Jide outperformed Nash overall, but his poor personal offense held the series back, with his average score failing to reach double digits.
