Nick Kyrgios has often flaunted his diehard support for the Boston Celtics. Often wearing the Celtics’ color headbands at his own Tennis matches, Kyrgios was irate when his friend not only questioned his support and insulted the Celtics. But he also went a step ahead and edited one of his messages to share with his friends-circle.

Though there was never any doubt regarding Kyrgios’ loyalty toward the Boston Celtics. But even if there was a small chance of it, his series of tweets on Twitter regarding Game 6 may have put it to rest.

Nick Kyrgios went through quite an emotional turmoil while watching Game 6. Out of one of the many tweets he sent out, one was, “Fu** me.”

This was followed by, “Joe mazzula you didn’t learn your lesson did you, call a TIME OUT.”

Now, his frustration could be visible in the two tweets above. But after the final buzzer, these were some of the tweets he sent out.

The first one was, “I love the Celtics.”

It was then backed up with, “Celts in 7.”

A true nail-biter in every sense

The game between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat had not just Nick Kyrgios but everyone at the edge of their seats. The Celtics were mere seconds away from being eliminated from the playoffs.

If it wasn’t for Derrick White’s heroics in the final few seconds of the game, the Heat would’ve been advancing to the NBA finals. Fortunately, for Kyrgios and Celtics fans, Boston managed to rally all the way back to force Game 7 in TD Garden.

Given how the series took a drastic turn, it would not be a surprise to see the Tennis sensation in the building witnessing history in the making if the Celtics win the series.
