I do think Boston would be highly motivated and very interested if they drew Miami in round one.
This would be my personal nightmare fuel given Miami's history. However, beating down Miami in round one could only give them a ton of confidence.
Like the sweep against the Nets 2 years ago. Maybe if they slay that demon they get on a roll again.
or like Milwaukee intentionally trying to get Miami after losing to them the year before, then beating Maimi in round 1, before winning the title.
Sometimes that confidence boost in round 1 propels you to greatness.
