For Nets, Milwaukee poses first real test of playoff run

Brooklyn's gentlemen's sweep of Boston went exactly as many anticipated with a shorthanded Celtics squad being overwhelmed by a star-studded Nets lineup. James Harden, like the rest of the team, has already turned his attention to the Bucks, who took two out of three regular season meetings against the Nets without their Big Three healthy. Brooklyn is undefeated in three games at Barclays Center during this year's playoffs and will hold home court advantage over Milwaukee.

The Nets will have their hands full with Giannis Antetokounmpo, who's in the running yet again for another league MVP award. Brooklyn's trio of superstars isn't chasing any personal accolades, but rather the first title in franchise history. Milwaukee and Brooklyn on me Saturday night for Game 1.
