The Boston Celtics stood no chance against a full-force Brooklyn Nets in Game 2 of their first-round series matchup. The Nets came out the gates firing, and they never looked back. The demolition job ended with a final score of 130-108, which prompted a massive warning from Brooklyn star James Harden after the game.
Harden took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the Nets' domination over Jayson Tatum and the Celtics. James needed just two emojis:

The tweet is pretty cryptic, but it's not hard to make out what Harden is trying to point out here. If we were to take a stab at it, Harden's message is probably somewhere along the lines of “scary hours.”
Harden has used this exact phrase in the past to describe the prospect of a healthy Big 3 in Brooklyn:
“I’m so excited for Ky to get back,” Irving said in January (h/t Michael Scotto of Hoops Hyope). “He’s a key piece to what we’re trying to do. The chemistry, the sooner we can build that, the sooner we can be on the court together, it’s going to be scary hours.”
On Tuesday, the trio of Harden, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant exhibited just how scary the Nets can be at full strength. They combined for 71 points between them on a very efficient shooting clip.
The Nets are quickly finding their form, and as Harden implied above, the rest of the league better watch out.
