Celtics

  • MIAMI - The Celtics' third final four appearance in five years ended abruptly late Saturday night. But they went down fighting, their improbable, overachieving playoff run ended with a 101-88 loss to the Miami Heat.

  • Boxer Manny Pacquiao has a pretty significant fight on Saturday night, but for at least a couple hours his mind will be far from the ring.
  • (Sporting News)
  • MIAMI -- The gameplan was sound and the bodies held up, they took a lead to halftime and they kept their composure.
  • (CBS Sports)
  • MIAMI -- It hurts because they were so close. Forget the fact that the Boston Celtics really had no business being where they were -- one win from advancing to the NBA Finals -- considering all the adversity they had to overcome this season.

  • The Celtics bowed out of the 2012 NBA playoffs with a 101-88 loss in Miami in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final. After the Cs led for most of the game, they scored just six points in the last 8:49 of their season.
  • (YAHOO!)
  • It takes courage to do what the Boston players did in Game 7. Courage? But they lost! Yes, they did. However, it takes courage to lose a game in the fashion they did. They're backs were against the wall. Their bodies were finished a long time ago.

  • MIAMI - Growing up in Baton Rouge, La., Celtics power forward Brandon Bass and his parents idolized Chicago Bulls great Michael Jordan. They watched the Bulls and the Jordanaires amass six NBA titles on Chicago-based cable station WGN-TV.

  • Jun 10, 2012 - Im not one to pick a public fight, or any for that matter, with other sports journalists or bloggers. I think its disrespectful.
  • (SB Nation)
  • LeBron James in Game 7 Saturday was not the LeBron James of Game 6. At least not for the first three quarters. In fact, at the half his performance pretty pedestrian — he and Brandon Bass had matching point totals.

  • Thats the question on everyones mind after the Boston Celtics bowed out to the Miami Heat in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals.
