The Brooms Are Out...but not how Celtics Nation Expected

With Sunday's Game 3 loss, the Boston Celtics are on the cusp of being swept by the eighth-seed Miami Heat.

MIAMI — Inside the Boston Celtics locker room, there were laminated cards on the chairs of some players with a message: “If it is to be…it is up to me.”

No one other than themselves were going to rescue the Celtics from this abyss of abysmal play that resulted in them losing the first two games against the Miami Heat, both at home.

And that rescue party, apparently didn’t get the memo that their services are required.

Or maybe those laminated cards with the black writing on a white backdrop are just another example of Miami taking what they want from the Celtics.

No apology.

And as we saw in Game 3, no mercy, either.
