The Boston Celtics have officially won Game 7 against the Miami Heat, and there’s no doubt that it was a thriller from top to bottom. This will be their first NBA Finals appearance since the 2010 season.
At the end of the series, the Eastern Conference Finals MVP award was given out, and the recipient of that award was Jayson Tatum. There’s no doubt that he was crucial to the Boston Celtics winning this series, and it must feel amazing for him to finally get over the hump and get out of the Eastern Conference.

The Boston Celtics will face the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals, and there’s no doubt that it will be a tough matchup for them. The Warriors have a good mix of veterans and youth, and they have looked elite thus far in the playoffs. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green all have championship experience, and they are the leaders of a disciplined team that is good on both ends of the floor.
With that being said, the Boston Celtics have a good amount of talent. There is no question that Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have shown up in the playoffs, and perhaps we will end up seeing them win the series and get the team’s first championship since 2008.
