Fans of the Boston Celtics will always let people know how they feel.
On Tuesday night, they were not feeling very happy at all.
Despite a strong showing from their two biggest stars, the Celtics were still taken down, 115-103, by the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
For much of the game, it felt like the Sixers were in complete control, even though the game was in Boston.
As noted by John Clark of NBC Philadelphia, the fans were very upset as the game neared an end.
In fact, it was so bad that there were boos heard from the stands against the Celtics as the fourth quarter began.
Boos here in Boston 😂

Fans of the team had every reason to be upset.
Despite being the favorites, and playing at home, the Celtics still couldn’t compete with Philadelphia.
Jayson Tatum scored 36 points and 10 rebounds while Jaylen Brown put up 24 but it still wasn’t enough to get it done.
Oh Philly’s side, it was MVP Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey who led the way, with 33 and 30 points, respectively.
The 76ers now command the series, 3-2, which means just one more loss and the Celtics are out of the playoffs.
They have a tough road ahead of them to achieve a comeback.
That is especially true because the next game will be held in Philadelphia again.
If they thought the crowd on Tuesday night was angry, wait until they hear Philadelphia in a couple of days.
For the last few games, the Celtics have looked thrown off and flat-footed by the 76ers.
They will need to come up with a very real game plan before Game 6.
