I will say, more and more it seems clear that the ceilings of these two teams is pretty different. I think out of the four main contenders in Boston, Milwaukee, Philly, and Miami, MIami was pretty clearly the weakest, especially with a hobbled Lowry.
But I definitely think that series against Milwaukee really helped the guys be prepared for Miami. After coming off such an aggressive and physical Milwuakee team that packed the paint, Miami's D seems like high school level D in comparison.
