BOSTON — The Boston Celtics began the season asserting itself as one of the best team in the NBA.

Now that the All-Star break is here?

Same as it ever was.

And for those who had any iota of doubt as to how dominant the Celtics have been thus far this season, look no further than Wednesday’s 136-86 thrashing of the Brooklyn Nets.

The scary part?

Boston’s start-to-finish beatdown of Brooklyn was nothing close to the best version of the Celtics.
