The Boston Celtics will try to secure another must-win victory on Saturday night when they play against the Miami Heat in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Just a few days ago, the Celtics were down 0-3 against the Heat.
After a pair of crucial wins, they could even the series on Saturday and set themselves up to possibly make NBA history.
Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors is ready for them to do just that simply so he can stop hearing about his team’s biggest postseason collapse.
“Maybe I won’t have to hear about 3-1 anymore if this team comes back from 3-0,” Green said on his podcast according to Bleacher Report.
“It would be a much better story,” he added.

As all NBA fans know, the Warriors were up 3-1 over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2016 NBA Finals.
However, Lebron James and his Cavs became the first team in Finals history to overcome a 3-1 deficit and people are still talking about that achievement years later.
The Celtics are in an even deeper hole than the 2016 Cavaliers were.
They lost the first three games of this series and were looking at a possible sweep.
But they have conquered the last two games, one in Miami and one in Boston, and have come back to life at the most important moment.
They are now hoping to stave off elimination once again.
If they can pull off the road win in Game 6, they will set up a Game 7 for a very excited Boston crowd.
They would most certainly make league history – and they would allow Green and the Warriors to move on from painful 2016 memories.
