After trailing 3-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals, Boston Celtics’ Guards Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart told the media, “don’t let us get oneNot only did the Celtics get one, but they got a second and a third in a row Tied series only to become fourth place In NBA history, the team advanced to the seventh game after being so behind. The Celtics also needed one of the luckiest rebounds in NBA history to tie the series.
It’s hard enough watching an opponent come back into the series after you let them die right. But losing Game 6 at home, when you’re fighting back like Miami did after trailing almost the entire game, and allowing Boston to win on a last-second turnover by Derrick White, is heartbreaking. The Celtics took on the Heat again after essentially committing to returning to the series. Everyone in the arena who wasn’t wearing green looked close to sick after realizing that White actually hit the ball in time to secure Monday’s Game 7 in Boston.

Honestly, pretty much everyone laughed at the Celtics after the “don’t let us get one” comment, which could have been seen as a nod to the Boston Red Sox in 2004, who finished these Celtics The same feat will be attempted Monday night at TD Garden. Kevin Millar said this, “Let me tell you, don’t let us win today…” before Game 4 against the New York Yankees during the 2004 American League Championship Series. Now, nearly 20 years later, the Celtics find themselves in the same situation with a chance to become a league The first team in history to accomplish what was once considered impossible, as the Red Sox did in Major League Baseball.
After winning three games in a row, the Celtics only need one more win to advance to the NBA Finals for two consecutive seasons. Momentum clearly changed the way the Celtics played this series, and so did the pressure. Miami is only favored in this series after winning its first three games. Now, after losing three straight and with the Celtics cornering Game 7, no one thought the Heat would end up on the road. The pressure was back on the shoulders of home team Boston. And the Heat are back to where they feel most comfortable, as underdogs.
