This is ridiculous. Celtics are crazy, angry hot. This has blowout written all over it. Say good night, Heat.

A healthy Celtics team is just to damn good defensively. The communication, help and rotations are on another level. We can keep talking offense all we want but “Defense win Championships” Carry the hell on…

I want to apologize to the Heat fans that bought tickets to the game. The amount of empty seats in the 4th quarter of an Eastern Conference Finals Game is an absolute shame.
No fanbase should waste money like this.
I’m so sorry to you and your families.
CELTICS. IN. 5.
