The Boston Celtics beat the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, 116-100. The win gave Boston a 2-1 series lead with Game 4 at TD Garden Friday night. Throughout the game, the Celtics fans were loud, raucous and at times belligerent. But that's nothing new as Bostonians are known to be some of the most passionate, die-hard fans in America.
Celtics forward Grant Williams talked about the Celtics fans on Thursday. His love for the fans of Boston were captured by MassLive writer Brian Robb.
Grant Williams: “Garden fans don’t hold back and that what we love about them.”

“Garden fans don't hold back and that what we love about them,” Williams said.
They certainly do not hold back, he's got that right. During much of the game, the Boston fans could be heard chanting “f*** Draymond, f*** Draymond.”

Granted, the Warriors forward typically fuels off of that type of smoke from fans. After Game 2, Green was chirping quite a bit and was getting into Celtics players often. He and the Warriors likely knew what was in store for them in Boston for Game's 3 and 4.
The reputation of Boston fans is very well known across the country. It is a blue collar city among blue collar cities. People work really hard and when they want to let loose, nothing is going to stop them. I am one of them having grown up in Medford, a couple miles outside the city of Boston. I grew up going to games in the old Boston Garden and Fenway and heard more f-bombs at these events than anywhere else.
That part of the country is not for everyone. But it will teach you to have thick skin and if you let things like that bother you, good luck playing there.
