Boston fans are a unique bunch. The region is devoted to its teams, even though they aren’t afraid to shower those squads with boos when they aren’t satisfied with effort level or performance.
To the casual observer, Sunday’s dismal showing by the Celtics in Game 4 would have qualified as one of those instances for a crowd to boo. The Cavs blew the Celtics out of the water in the first half, building a 21-point lead. Isaiah Thomas couldn’t hit a shot (0-for-7) from field. Cleveland grabbed a countless number of offensive rebounds. The Celtics had an array of unforced turnovers.
