How bad was it? Boston dominated so thoroughly, from wire-to-wire that the sellout crowd of 19,156 at TD Garden didn’t even bother to boo Public Enemy No. 1 Kyrie Irving by the end.

It got far worse from there, the Nets punching up a weight class or three against the much bigger Celtics , and spending almost the entire evening on the mat.

So, it becomes, how can we help those two guys?“That’s where Joe [Harris], Royce [O’Neale] and Nic [Claxton] fit in.
