When it comes to the Celtics‘ current playoff run, Patriots players are just like any other fan: They’re excited, but trying not to jinx anything.
Ja’Whaun Bentley, one of the Patriots’ defensive captains, said he will be in attendance for Tuesday night’s Game 5 of the Celtics-76ers Eastern Conference semifinals.
“We need a win today,” Bentley said during his press conference earlier on Tuesday. The Celtics are currently tied with Philadelphia in the best-of-seven series, 2-2.
“I’m not going to say too much, I don’t want to jinx them,” he quickly added, reiterating his message on Twitter afterward.
