Celtics Fans Ecstatic As Team Holds On For Sensational Game 7 Win And Qualify For First NBA Finals Since 2010: "Celtics Finish Off Their Postseason Revenge Tour"


 


The Boston Celtics just won their first Eastern Conference Finals since 2010 in a hard-fought series against the Miami Heat. The Celtics won the series in 7 games, with the Heat not being able to match the offensive pace that the Celtics had set throughout the series. Despite their struggles, Jimmy Butler almost willed them to win this game single-handedly.


After being perennial playoff participants for the last few years, even losing a couple of Conference Finals series, this core led by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown finally will make it to the NBA Finals and face the Golden State Warriors.


Fans on Twitter were shocked at the way the game played out. Jimmy Butler's heroics went completely unrewarded before people turned on him for a disastrous final shot to try and cut the deficit down. Meanwhile, the Celtics are being lauded for completing an incredible season turnaround with a trip to the NBA Finals. 


the celtics finish off their Postseason Revenge Tour


each of the past three seasons they got knocked out by the nets the bucks and the heat and they came through this year and put those three teams in the dirt 


pretty cool


Jimmy Butler carrying the Heat in Game 7



They talked all year about their depth. 


Someone needs to help Butler.


Jimmy Butler deserves better


Every time the Heat gets into their half court offense I make my children close their eyes so the don’t pick up bad habits! I mean it is HORRIBLE to be watch. Carry the hell on…


Jimmy Butler is slander proof from here on out for me.


This Heat offense is making me mad 😂


Jimmy Butler really needs some help man 😑


JT says it’s time to see June


Give Al Horford some type of award for his work in this series. Masterful. He's going to be sore all week.


Jimmy why lmao


Nothing but respect for Jimmy Butler…Gave it his all. 👏✊



LETS GO TATUM ! GO TO WORK KID


Eastern Conference Finals MVP. First NBA Finals. 


Jayson Tatum from Duke University



Jimmy Butler's last shot may define some of the conversations coming out of this game, but there can't be any hate thrown at him. He left it all on the court and was easily one of the best players through the entire post-season this year. 


The Heat needs to look at their roster and make some very tough decisions to ensure that this team can stay competitive as Butler continues to age and still sits on a massive contract. He's playing up to the price tag, but will the players around him step up? We will have to wait and see that next season. 


A great season for the Miami Heat has ended in utter disappointment as they have to wait longer to get their revenge after their 2020 Finals loss. Boston will go on to the stage of the NBA Finals for the first time with this core and look to topple the championship-laden Golden State Warriors.

Klay Thompson to sit out Warriors preseason games in Japan as Kerr says he needs more time to ramp-up

  Klay Thompson may have returned healthy to the Golden State Warriors last season, but the scars from his two missed seasons are still quite visible. The Warriors played their first of two preseason games against the Washington Wizards on Friday and will play another on Sunday, but Warriors coach Steve Kerr said that Thompson will not be playing at all during the trip to Japan. "Just feel more comfortable giving him a little more of a ramp up," Kerr said before Friday's victory over Washington. "He's just not quite ready to play at this point just based on where, you know, we're so early in camp. We just want to be safe and make sure he gets a good ramp-up before he plays in games." Typically, so little time to ramp up wouldn't be a problem for a veteran in a preseason context. The games tend to be so low-impact and demand so few minutes out of a team's best players that they can safely jog through them. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green played 1...

Shaquille O'Neal says Dennis Rodman was his worst teammate: 'He was a great player, but he made it hard'

  Shaquille O'Neal played for six franchises over a 20-year NBA career. That's a lot of teammates. Speaking on The Big Podcast with Shaq, the four-time champion and Hall of Famer revealed which one of those teammates was the worst.  "Worst teammate? Dennis Rodman," O'Neal said. "He was a great player, but he made it hard. Like when you try to corral the guys together and the people above you [are] letting this one guy do whatever he wants. So we had to be there an hour before the game. He'd come in fifteen minutes before the game eating chicken and rice. While the coaches are talking, he would jump in the shower. Cold shower. Come and give you 15-20 rebounds." O'Neal played with some characters in his time. We know about his beef with Kobe Bryant, who we know wasn't always the easiest teammate to get along with, though Shaq has long expressed regret over the way he and Bryant handled their relationship as young superstars, and eventually, he ...

Kevin Durant injury update: Nets rule star out for home-and-home vs. Raptors, hopeful for return later in week

Brooklyn Nets star forward Kevin Durant is expected to return to the floor this upcoming week. Head coach Steve Nash says it just won't be against the Raptors, either Monday or Tuesday night in the team's home-and-home against Toronto. Durant has started doing more on-court work recently as he recovers from the sprained MCL he suffered in his left knee last month, and Nash is optimistic about his prognosis moving forward. The former MVP will not play on Monday night against the Toronto Raptors, however.  "I think with Kevin he's been a great healer throughout his career," Nash said Saturday. "So the No. 1 thing is to get him back healthy and feeling secure in his health and his body so he can move and be free. When he's back, obviously he adds a ton to our team on both ends of the floor ... one of the greatest scorers of all time. And we also know he helps us defensively; he gives us more size and length. So he's a big miss for us, and whenever he get...
