Jaylen Brown wasn’t wrong when he criticized recent home playoff crowds. The Celtics haven’t always played well at TD Garden, but the energy there has been low throughout this postseason run.
“Celtics fans, they love to call us out, right?” Brown said. “So I’m gonna call you guys out this time. Energy in the Garden has been OK at best all playoffs. Game 7, if you’re there or if you’re not there, if you’re watching at a bar, if you’re watching down the street at a friend’s house, I don’t care. I need you to be up, I need you to come with the energy, because we’re gonna need every bit of it. So I’m calling you guys out. Let’s make sure the Garden is ready to go.
The Celtics do know they’ve underperformed at home during the last two playoff runs. They’re 7-9 over their last 16 postseason games at TD Garden. “We’re excited in the moment,” Grant Williams said after Game 6. “But we all know the job’s not finished. We have to come in and they’re going to come with their backs against the wall just like we did tonight. It’s going to be a f—ing dogfight. So how we respond, how we react during the game — we can’t expect anything. We haven’t protected home court in years so we have to come out and do our job and play the game that we’re supposed to play.
