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.

Bill Russell Once Explained Why He Didn't Bother With Celtics Fans: "When I Was A Star, The Fans Called Us The 'Boston Globetrotters' Because The Celtics Had Black Players."

  While the NBA is a beacon for freedom and tolerance in America, things didn't start off that way. In a place like Boston, during the 50s and 60s, racial tension was a pretty serious problem, and superstar big man Bill Russell had to deal with it on a game-to-game basis. Today, it can be hard for us to imagine just how difficult being a black basketball player really was back then. Fortunately, we have some clips: "The number one paper was the Boston Herald and they didn't like the idea of an NBA team having black players. Out there, the star was Bob Cousy. No matter what I did, Cousy was the star. I remember I had a game where I had 25 points, 25 rebounds, 10 blocks, and the Boston Herald said I was lucky to play with Cousy." Unfortunately, the media didn't give Russell his respect back then. Despite being the best player on the court, and on his team, Cousy and others always got the spotlight. Even the fans weren't very accepting of Bill: "I didn't...

From Deep: At long last, Nikola Jokic's Nuggets can envision getting to the top of the mountain

  Jamal Murray tore his ACL on April 12, 2021. Leading up to that night, he'd been playing at an All-NBA level for two months: In a 25-game stretch, Murray averaged 24.1 points on .509/.459/.935 shooting splits, 4.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists. He was even more efficient than he was in the bubble playoffs, and his defense had improved, too. Murray only got to play with Aaron Gordon, the Denver Nuggets' big trade-deadline addition, for five games. They won them all except the one in which Murray got injured. In 110 minutes, their new starting five scored slightly more efficiently than any iteration of the Kevin Durant-era death lineup in Golden State and defended like a top-five team. Two Nikola Jokic MVP awards later, Murray is back. So is Michael Porter Jr., who signed a five-year extension about a year ago and needed back surgery nine games into the 2020-21 season. The Nuggets remember how easily everything slid into place with Gordon in the mix. Newcomer Kentavious Caldwell-Pop...

Sixers' James Harden backs teammate Joel Embiid for MVP: 'He deserves it, man'

  James Harden has been a member of the Philadelphia 76ers for less than two months, but that's been more than enough time for him to appreciate the brilliance of Joel Embiid. The duo is expected to help the Sixers compete for a championship, but Harden believes another trophy should be on its way to Philly this year.  In an interview with Ramona Shelburne of ESPN, Harden backed Embiid for MVP, saying "he deserves it, man." "I've only been here for a few weeks, but I already see his mindset," Harden said. "He wants to win. Some guys just want numbers, but he has both. He has the mentality of winning, and he scores the ball at a high level. I think he's prepared himself, especially coming off last year, for this year to be one of his best years." This has indeed been one of Embiid's best years. He's averaging a career-high 29.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.4 blocks while shooting 48.8 percent from the field and 35.8 percent f...
