<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">New York Daily News: For the second straight year, the Nets were holding a private party inside the FleetCenter visitor's locker room, celebrating the elimination of bitter rival Boston.
While last year's Boston party was a celebration of their first trip to the NBA Finals, the Nets were congratulating each other Monday night for getting one step closer to returning to the Finals.
"Last year was out of control," said Jason Collins, whose Nets await the winner of the Detroit-Philadelphia series. "This year, there was none of that. It was a celebration, but we know our goal of winning an NBA championship hasn't yet been accomplished. We still have a job to do."
With the first playoff sweep for the New Jersey franchise, the Nets soar into their second straight appearance in the Eastern Conference finals.</div>
