In the electrifying atmosphere of the Kaseya Center, Miami Heat fans erupted into chants of “We Want Celtics” during the final minutes of the game against the Chicago Bulls. Their confidence soared after securing the 8th seed with a victory over the Bulls in a play-in game.
Now poised to face the number one seed in the Eastern Conference, the Miami Heat enter the matchup as underdogs.
However, their fans draw inspiration from history, remembering their triumph over the Celtics in the 2023 Conference finals as the same 8th seed. This confidence has led some to perhaps underestimate the Celtics’ resolve.
NBA fans troll Oshae Brissett after he issues a warning
In response, Celtics player Oshae Brissett issued a stern warning to the overconfident Heat fans. “See you guys on Sunday. Keep chanting ‘We want Celtics.’
We will continue this conversation after the first round,” Brissett stated, as reported by Adam Taylor. His message subtly hinted that the Celtics were not planning to succumb to the Heat and were determined to avenge their loss from the previous season.
However, Brissett’s warning was met with mockery from NBA fans online. They flooded comment sections, taunting the Celtics star for his limited playing time and role player status. Some sarcastically questioned his relevance, while others ridiculed his remarks in light of his bench role.
Despite the trolling, Brissett’s cautionary message underscores the intensity of the upcoming playoff clash and the passion it ignites among fans on both sides. As the anticipation builds, the showdown between the Heat and the Celtics promises to be a thrilling spectacle on the court.
