The Miami Heat are currently locked into the top slot in the Eastern Conference. With the teams at the bottom, play-in territory if you will, still jousting for final position, the Miami Heat can begin to dial things in for the playoffs.

While that means navigating their final games of the season strategically, the playoffs are surely still at the top of their minds. With the first-round matchups nearly set, aside from the way they’ll be slotted in after the play-in games, the Milwaukee Bucks, the Boston Celtics, the Philadelphia 76ers, and the Toronto Raptors have already clinched guaranteed berths.

That means that the Miami Heat won’t see any of those teams in the first round, however, they will surely see a couple of them along the way to a potential NBA Finals berth.

While multiple teams would provide an interesting scenario for the Miami Heat in the playoffs, there is one team that presents an extra little bit of intrigue. Based on their last game a few days ago, a Heat win might it be added in one of the best games of the year across the entire league, what would a Boston Celtics matchup look light across multiple games in a playoff series?

Only one word can truly describe it—fireworks! With that being said though, who’s up for a light show?

That brings us to this question. How would you feel about a Celtics/Heat playoff series?

Would you want it and why or why not? That’s the question today in the latest AllUCanHeat Roundtable.
