With the additions of Kyle Lowry and other key players, the Miami Heat have cemented themselves as a championship contender. They will be fighting for a top spot in the Eastern Conference this season.

Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, and Lowry combine to form one of the best big threes in the NBA. Miami should be able to put up a fight against any team in the league.

Miami added a bunch of super scrappy players to their roster, and when a team plays with that sort of style, they are bound to make enemies. Expect the Miami Heat to make a lot of enemies this year.

What teams are going to dislike the Miami Heat the most this season? Who will the Heat’s top three biggest rivals be this year?

Miami Heat rival #3 this season: Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics and Miami Heat have a long history. Due to this, the Celtics will forever be one of the team’s biggest rivals, and that won’t change this year.

Boston and Miami have been locked into a feud for years. It mainly originates from the days of LeBron James competing against Boston’s big three.

Just two seasons ago the Miami Heat were able to get the best of Boston in the Eastern Conference Finals. With their win, they renewed the rivalry between the two franchises.

Both teams made significant roster changes this summer, so hopefully, games are just as intense this year. It should be fun to watch the two teams face off.
