Seems like decades now I assume  that our path  goes though Miami ….with or without Bron.  Those are the usual two concerns.

TP just for giving a shout out to FL for those incredible game threads and carrying on the tradition of a TP to the first poster

I am scared of us not showing up with Energy against the Hawks. We actually need to bring energy against the heat, Perk is already talking about how hes scared for us. we need to Focus and Trash the heat. I Personally want the heat.

Want Hawks because bord of Heat. Do like watching Bam and Butler when refs call an even game.

I think we can handle Atlanta in an easy 5. A series with Miami is probably going 6 games

I want nothing to do Miami, especially with Jaylen recovering from his hand injury. On another note, Jimmy Butler may coast during the regular season, but he can turn it on in the playoffs in a big way.

Butler's a playoff beast, but Bam is the most annoying guy to go against. For some reason we make him look like prime Shaq against us, and then there's obviously him getting away with every single illegal screen he sets

I will say that ATL SHOULD be better than MIA.  ATL has Young, Murray, Collins, Capela.  They should have a better team.  But ATL has been a major underperformer. 

We'll see if ATL and pull it together.

I think that I'd prefer Miami.  We're better than them, so we should win the series.  At the same time, it instantly reminds the team of the intensity that they'll have to play with going forward.

The Celtics barely made it by Miami last season, and they were dealing with injuries to key players too. And let's not forget, Butler barely missed that 3 to win game 7.

BTW, when it comes to the Celtics medical staff, I don't trust them at all. So when I'm told that Jaylen will be fine come the playoffs, I don't believe the report. I truly hope he will be fine by then.

Eh.  If we can't get by Miami, we weren't winning a championship anyway.  To me, there's a lot of hand-wringing about a team that won 44 games this year and had the 25th ranked offense.
