What NBA Twitter was saying after Celtics went down 0-3: ‘Never thought I’d see a Boston team quit’
The Boston Celtics have become just the fourth team in NBA history to force a Game 7 after trailing a playoff series 3-0.
Boston has a chance to make history tonight with a win at home against the Miami Heat.
NBA Twitter had a lot of reactions after the Celtics beat the Heat at the buzzer in Game 6, and even more when they went down 0-3 and were on the brink of elimination.
Heat nuggets NBA Finals? What is this my damn microwave!! 🤣🤣🤣

Gabe Vincent and Caleb Martin are both averaging more PPG than Jaylen Brown in the 2023 ECF.

The Celtics really quit last night I’m still not over it

This is going to sound insane but I really think either the Lakers or Celtics are going to come back from 0-3 and I think I the Celtics have a better chance to do it. This series isn’t over

Also, #Celtics haven’t lost 4 in a row ALL YEAR. no time to start now.
— Bri Marie D (@BriMarieD) May 22, 2023
I’d rather it go to 7 and we lose than lose like this. Where is the heart ?!? Where is the fight ?! #Celtics need to find it asap. Take pride in your work, your job, your team, your fans and FIGHT.

Kill the undrafted player talk w/ the Heat like they‘re a bunch of nobodies! Those are the biggest dogs with the most adversity faced than everybody in that mf 💯.. good morning, I’m on one…
— Kevin Garnett (@KevinGarnett5KG) May 22, 2023
I'm going to reassert this: if the Heat continue to shoot 52-48-85, no one's beating them.
Period, end-dot. And they only need to keep this up for five more games.

The window to taking the Eastern Conference will be wide open next season.
Celtics : Possibly coaching change/Jaylen Brown asking for a trade
76ers : Harden reunion with Houston/coaching change/Embiid asking for a trade
Raptors : they are mehhhh
Bucks : Lopez/Middleton Free…

In my 44 years of being associated with the NBA I never thought I’d see a Boston Celtics team, a franchise with 17 Championships, quit. I know Celtics fans all over the world must be disgusted and devastated. The Miami Heat blew them out 128-102 in Game 3.

The Boston Celtics are going to make history by being the first team to ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in NBA history 🍀🍀

I’ve been doing this for 28 years and the 2022-23 Miami Heat are the most ridiculous story I’ve covered in that lifetime. They’ve gone from a disinterested, disconnected, disappointing group to the 1995-96 Bulls.

Wait ESPN is giving the Heat a 28% chance to win the series now…….
— 𝙃𝙀𝘼𝙏 𝙉𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉 (@HeatvsHaters) May 22, 2023
If the Heat wins 4-0, ESPN would still put that 72% chance on Boston winning the series.

Only two NBA teams who ranked last in points per game during the regular season reached the NBA Finals: 1964 Warriors and 1956 Pistons. The Heat are one win away from joining that group. @ESPNStatsInfo pic.twitter.com/iq2vUhTGba
