The Celtics still have a long climb ahead of them in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat. Boston is the 150th NBA team to fall into an 0-3 deficit in a playoff series. The first 149 teams all eventually lost their series.
But a few ESPN personalities aren’t counting them out quite yet in the team’s pursuit of an improbable comeback.
After Boston kept its season alive with a Game 4 victory down at Kaseya Center on Tuesday night, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith believes that the pressure is starting to shift toward an eighth-seeded Heat team moving forward.
