The Boston Celtics are currently down 3-1 against the Miami Heat after winning Game 4. They will now go back home to Boston, and many believe that they have a good chance of winning Game 5 and forcing a Game 6.
Though there has been no team that has managed to come back from 0-3 down, it seems as though some believe that the Boston Celtics will manage to be the first team to do so. In fact, Richard Jefferson suggested the Celtics will be the ones to face the Denver Nuggets in the Finals.
“It’s going to be Boston. Boston is going to be the first team to come back (from 0-3)”

This is a bold claim from Richard Jefferson, but it is not impossible that the Boston Celtics will be able to achieve this. They are clearly the more talented team than the Miami Heat, but it is fair to say that they are far less disciplined and consistent.
It will be interesting to see how the Celtics fare in Game 5. This will be the easier game to win in their next two contests, as it will be at home, and they need to come out strong to down the experienced Heat.
Draymond Green Thinks The Celtics Are Done
Though some still believe in the Boston Celtics, there are others who are much lower on them. Previously, Draymond Green revealed that he believes the Celtics are “done” after Jaylen Brown refused to support Grant Williams when speaking to the media.
“When I saw JB after the game and they asked him about Grant poking the bear or whatnot, and he said, ‘Next question.’ To me, I’m like, ‘Oh, they done.’ But JB situation, you still ride with your man and be like, boy you start talking, ‘Jimmy played well, it is what it is. We got to do what we got to do.’ You can’t next question, JB. That was the mentality that their team took on in Game 3. Next question, next game, next play, this is it. You could tell there’s more there once that happened.”
Hopefully, we see the Boston Celtics prove their haters wrong. They have the talent to shock the world, but obviously, that is easier said than done because of the hole they’ve dug for themselves in Games 1 through 3. The team themselves believes in their ability, and ultimately, that is what matters most.
