So close, yet so far. The Boston Celtics always seemed like they were this close to beating the Golden State Warriors in the Finals. However, time and time again, the Warriors' championship experience shone through. Eventually, the Cs lost to the Dubs at home, ending their season in heart-breaking fashion.
Anna Horford, who has long been outspoken in support of her brother Al Horford, didn't take this loss kindly, it seems. The sister of the Celtics center took to Twitter and had a few… choice words for the Warriors.
Congrats to the bitch ass Warriors. Yes, I’m salty. Yes, it was a shitty loss. Love our guys & love how far we came. Sad for my brother who played an amazing game. Go Cs ☘️

Anna Horford has certainly found herself on the bad side of Warriors Twitter for a long time now. Throughout the Finals series, Anna has chirped and taken shots at the Dubs players. It's very clear that Anna is a passionate supporter of the Celtics, and is a true ride-or-die fan.
To his credit, Al Horford played decently in his first appearance in the NBA Finals. The Celtics center was off to a roaring start in Game 1, leading his team to victory off the back of his insane shooting. Al would never reach the same high again, but his presence on the court was felt at all times by the Cs.
Ultimately, though, the Celtics were just a little too green for the NBA Finals. They threw everything and the kitchen sink at the Warriors, even busting out the drop coverage to throw the champions off. Their lack of experience did them in, though: costly turnovers and fatigue destroyed any hope of a win in Game 6.
Despite the brutal end, there's plenty to like about this Celtics team. Every winning team needs to experience the lows first before they get the highs. Here's to hoping that the Cs can bounce back from this in the next season.
