When I come to play here in this gym it will be like this. But the same energy they have for me, I’ll have for them. I don’t want to attack all the Boston fans, but when people start screaming s*** ** for you, all these things, there’s a limit you can bear as a competitor”, he said.
“We’re expected to be docile and humble. Nah f***-** that’s it, we’re in the playoffs”, he added. With the win, the Boston Celtics lead the series in the league playoffs. The teams enter the court again to play game 2 of the bracket on Wednesday, 20th. Jayson Tatum will still be in command of the house, in the TD Garden arena.
