The Celtics are in a good headspace.
Opposing fans have been begging for matchups with the Celtics this postseason.
And they are all now wishing that they hadn’t.
Miami Heat fans chanted, “We Want Boston!” after earning a first-round matchup with the Celtics last month. Boston beat them in five games.
Cleveland Cavaliers fans got into the act following their first-round win over the Orlando Magic. After they, too, walked off the court following a 4-1 series loss to the Celtics on Wednesday, Boston fans near the Cavs’ bench held up signs spelling out a question.
“Who wants Boston next?”
For now the Celtics will have to wait for that answer after wrapping up their third consecutive trip to the Eastern Conference finals with a 113-98 win over the the Cavaliers. Boston will face the winner of the matchup between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers. New York leads that series 3-2.
