The Boston Celtics are attempting to do something that no NBA team has ever done: come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a playoff series.
They got off to a good start on Tuesday, winning Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat.
As the series heads back to Boston, the Celtics can make things interesting with another win on Thursday, giving them even more confidence in a potentially massive Game 6 on the road.
The Celtics looked lost and woefully unprepared in the first three games of the series, leading some to call for the firing of head coach Joe Mazzulla.
One former Celtic weighed in on the topic, and he’s all for Mazzulla sticking around – under one condition.

“If you pull this off, you get to stay,” former Celtic Glen “Big Baby” Davis told TMZ Sports.
“If you don’t, you’re outta there buddy.”
Davis went on to give his thoughts on how the Ime Udoka situation affected the team following their run to the NBA Finals last season.
“It f—ed the whole team up,” Davis said. “They just had to go get another coach. It kind of f—ed ’em up a little bit.”
Despite his ultimatum for Mazzulla, Davis is still keeping his faith in the team.
“We can come back. I truly believe. Miami hasn’t been good all year,” he said.
“They haven’t been consistent. They’re playing well right now. We just gotta get on the same level.”
