The Celtics had a 1 point lead with 8 minutes left to go, and then simply couldn't get over the hump. They were missing shots, taking bad shots, not rebounding, giving up offensive rebounds, and taking difficult shots, meanwhile the Heat were converting eveything. The Celtics simply couldn't get it done offensively, and the Chris Bosh led Heat was able to take over the game with his 3s. Yes, 3s, Chris Bosh decided to turn into Larry Bird and hit clutch 3 after clutch 3. To see how ridiculous Chris Bosh's 3s were he was 4-40 lifetime from the 3 range.
Although I don't want to say this. LeBron James had an incredible playoffs and is a hell of a player. He put the Heat on his back in game 6 when he scored 102809 points and didn't miss a shot. He's an incredible player. With that being said, I hope our old friend Kendrick Perkins decapitates him.
The Celtics were spread out offensively, all of their starters were in double digits, led by Rondo who of course finished with a triple double. What killed the Celtics was their bench. Their bench was bad, they only had 2 points and were completely ineffective. With the bench being ineffective it put more minutes on the starters, and the starters just couldn't get it done int he final 8 minutes.
Even with the loss, this was an incredible run. It hard to be proud of a team who lost in the Eastern Conference Finals, but I personally am. This team was great, and God knows what happens in the future, but this was the best 5 years as a Celtics fan.
