In an unexpected turn of events, the Boston Celtics find themselves down 3-0 to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals. Facing elimination, the Celtics are determined to keep their season alive with a win in Game 4, which is set to take place in Miami on Tuesday night. After a disappointing loss in Game 3, the Celtics are looking to regroup and show their strength.

During the team’s morning shootaround, key players Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown expressed their determination to turn the series around. Smart stating, “I feel very good about tonight. Don’t let us get one.”

Brown echoed this sentiment “Don’t let us get one. Don’t let us get tonight,” said Brown. “Our mindset is if you let us get one, we’ll feel confident. We’re going to come out and play free, play ready, and we should be fine.” Both players drew inspiration from Kevin Millar’s rallying cry during the Boston Red Sox’s historic comeback in the 2004 ALCS.

While facing the impossible task of a 3-0 series comeback, the Celtics understand the challenge ahead. They acknowledge that the Heat have been playing better basketball and that to secure a victory, they need to elevate their own performance. The Celtics have struggled with defensive energy in prior games, especially in transition and when protecting the perimeter.

Additionally, offensive struggles from key players like Jayson Tatum and Brown have added to their difficulty. However, the team remains focused on the present and aims to rectify these issues to secure a win in Game 4.

While the Celtics aim to maintain a positive outlook for Game 4, NBA Twitter has taken a different perspective on their statements. The fans wasted no time in mocking Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart’s bold declarations.

Many NBA Twitter users sarcastically suggested that Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler was “living rent-free” in the heads of Brown and Smart. This comment suggests that Butler’s dominant performances in the series and implies that the Celtics players’ focus should be redirected towards their opponents rather than making bold statements.

As the Celtics take the court for Game 4, they understand the magnitude of the situation. With their backs against the wall, it is a win-or-go-home scenario. The Celtics are determined to leave everything on the court and play with a fight mentality, aiming to secure a victory and extend their season.
