The Miami Heat defeated the Boston Celtics in Game 5 of the NBA Playoffs Wednesday night to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

LeBron James kneeled on the court and teared up following the game. He and the Heat also celebrated like they won the NBA title, but the excuse for all of the posturing following the game was because James defeated the Celtics (albeit with an injured Rajon Rondo and without Kendrick Perkins) for the first time in the playoffs.

The victory (at least in James' mind) also justified his departure from the Cavaliers. Because, in his words, he couldn't defeat the Celtics by himself.

That's right. James played by himself when he was with the Cavaliers. In other words, it was all James when the Cavaliers won, but he was by himself when the Cavaliers lost. So how much help did the Cavaliers get from James in Game 5 last season?
