These script writers are doing too much
I’ve never been more stunned before like this
Celtics are going to the Finals. We don’t even need a G7, I’ve seen quite enough.
1st team to have game 7 at home too.
This series is almost like 2 different series. Holy shit
They’re the first one with home court too according to the broadcast
Worth mentioning no team has ever completed the reverse sweep, though.
NBA scriptwriters working overtime
And they have home court
They’re also the only of those teams to have home court going into game 7
There were multiple times in that game where I thought I would straight up drop dead
Joe Mazzulla about to be the only coach to comeback from 0-3 wow
What a way to force a game 7, like wtf yo.

Most insane ending of a playoffs game that I’ve ever seen
Miami “Borussia Dortmund” Heat
In shock
This Celtics are like Real Madrid in the 2022 Champions Legaue. You just can’t kill them. They refuse to die. They just won’t go away.
I was at the edge of my seat during that last 3 seconds. Great ending
Reporter after Celtics win game 7: “What’s going through your mind right now Jaylen?
Jaylen: “They let us get 4. Don’t let us get another one”
Reporter: Uhh, yeah thanks Jaylen.
FYI Rochester Royals are now the Sacramento Kings
Being a Boston fan is like being the opposite of a Sixers fan.
This team has broken me
Himmy Butler🤡~ Dwight waiting for u
