The Heat beaten, a look back on the path to the finals ahead of a Warriors showdown

Celtics Lab NBA Basketball Podcast

Even though it very much looked like it might not have happened in the waning seconds of the Boston Celtics' Game 7 win over the Miami Heat in the 2022 Eastern Conference semifinals as Jimmy Butler's last-second 3-pointer followed its arc on the way to the front of the rim, the Celtics are in fact headed to the 2022 NBA Finals starting next Thursday.

Their first trip back there since 2010 and the first trip ever for every member of the current team's roster, it felt right to take a last look back at the series with the Heat, Jayson Tatum's new (literally) hardware, and the season more generally before getting our minds ready for the fight for Banner 18 against the Golden State Warriors.

On this episode of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast, we take stock of the team's path to the finals and even take a peek at the series ahead of a full preview later this week.

Join your usual hosts of Alex Goldberg, Cameron Tabatabaie, and Justin Quinn as we pay tribute to the journey Boston has completed so far while getting ready for the final, hardest steps ahead.
