"Celtics need an advantage to win against Stephen Curry, and they've proven it!": NBA Twitter reacts as Warriors players discover the height of the baskets to be too high

NBA Twitter went wild as hoops in the TD Garden were above the regulated heights, saying it’s cause they can’t stop Stephen Curry

The NBA Finals are in full swing, as the series is now at Boston for Games 3 and 4. After a solid finish to win Game 1, the Celtics were taken aback by Stephen Curry and co. in Game 2. The series was tied up at one apiece heading to Boston.

In the playoffs, the Celtics have played 9 games at home so far, and have won 5 of them. While comparatively, they’ve won 8 out of their 11 games on the road. Teams find it better to play on their homecourt, but that hasn’t been the case for the Celtics so far.

There is a lot of pressure that comes with playing at the TD Garden, and the Cs face it more than the opponents. That being said, they would look for anyway to win these next two games, and well, they found a way.

Or at least they thought so.

There are a lot of things that can be forgiven in sports, however, cheating? Nah man, play the game fair and square, and if you lose, accept the other team’s just better. However, it seems like the Celtics, despite their 17 titles, haven’t learned this.

With “RIMGATE” happening, NBA Twitter was bound to rage, and rage they did.

When Steve Kerr was asked about the same, he was surprised, but he took it in a light manner.

Well, with their Plan A failing, I guess the Cs have no other choice but to play fair and square.
