There aren't many more exciting/intense atmospheres in sports than a playoff game at the Garden. It's a fanbase that is very passionate and very knowledgeable, and they also have pretty high expectations for their teams and players.
The Celtics have homecourt advantage in their first-round playoff series versus the Atlanta Hawks and used it to win the first two games. The C's are one of the favorites to win the 2023 NBA Finals, which means the next couple months could be filled with a bunch of memorable nights and raucous crowds at TD Garden.
