Brown is one of the best players in the NBA, and is coming off a season where he averaged 23.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 49.9% from the field and 35.4% from the three-point range in 70 games.
The Celtics had the best record in the NBA (64-18).
Before beating the Cavs, the Celtics eliminated the Miami Heat in the first round (in five games).
Brown is in his eighth season in the NBA and this is already his sixth time in the Conference Finals.
However, the Celtics have been unable to win a title since the 2008 season when Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett were still on the roster.
They will face off against either the New York Knicks or the Indiana Pacers.
