The Nets are coming off a historic upset, while the Celtics are stinging from a loss to Miami and vowing to tighten up defensively. Even without Kemba Walker, this sets up nicely for a Boston bounceback. Lay it.

This is arguably one of the biggest flat spots you'll ever see for the Nets, who are coming off one of the biggest upsets in NBA history. This no-name shell of a club (good luck naming two starters without looking) somehow knocked off a disinterested Milwaukee club. Now, the Nets face a Boston team that could use a dominant performance following a flat-spot loss against the Heat. Wouldn't be stunning if Brooklyn hangs around again, but the motivation edge is strong for Boston.
