Down 0-2 in their first-round series against the Chicago Bulls, the Boston Celtics don't resemble the team that earned the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls have taken the Celtics out of their game and Chicago just looks like a bad matchup for Boston.
But the Celtics aren't eliminated just yet and the series will take on a different tone if Boston can win on the road in Chicago for Games 3 and 4. That's what Celtics big man Al Horford believes will happen as he took to Twitter after Game 2 with a sincere message about his teammates:
Going through some adversity as a group. We are staying strong. Go Celtics!

Celtics fans though, didn't appreciate Horford's sincerity:
@Al_Horford Please show us and stop telling us. Send the message to the rest of the team as well.

@Al_Horford Donate your next paycheck to the fans that bought tickets to game 2.

There are also a good amount of fans that agreed with Horford and wish him and the Celtics good luck in Game 3. But with Boston in an 0-2 hole, plenty of Celtics fans are clearly frustrated with their team being just two games away from getting eliminated in the first-round yet again.
