The Nets and Celtics Series

The series doesn't begin until the home team loses. The 2-0 cliche is a dumb cliche, too. You got to win a game on the road to win the series. I don't think Ben Simmons was ever coming back. Is it possible that Paul George... Like he's not going to play in this series? And they're saying that to keep fan hope alive or like to keep player morale up.
