Miami Heat Roundtable: Bucks Or Celtics Eastern Conference Finals Preference?

Miami Heat: Bucks Or Celtics ECF Preference? – Kenneth Says Boston Celtics

Let’s be fair, you can go either direction here. However, you also have to be honest with yourself.

Kenneth’s Take (@K_Said_Que) – Boston Celtics

If the ultimate goal is to win a title, then you want the path that most suits you. Let’s be clear, the Miami Heat can beat either of the two teams that may end up before them in the Eastern Conference Finals.

They shouldn’t be scared of anyone or either team. Again though, the path that seems to be the most efficient for them would run through Boston.

While both teams are tough and though Milwaukee doesn’t have their second-best player going, at the moment, in Khris Middleton, they still have that dude over there called The Greek Freak. He is a load to manage and though Boston has shown able to deal with him across six games, thus far, he’s still a different animal.

When it comes to Boston, yes, they do play really solid defense. Yes, they have beaten Miami quite a bit during this past regular season, including a massive blowout in Boston right after Bam Adebayo returned from his thumb injury absence, but they still don’t scare you.

The Miami Heat played them early in the year and then while they weren’t at full strength, missing some of their guys but when all things were equal near the end of the season in their contest against each other, where the teams were as close to the playoffs version of themselves that they would be, the Miami Heat handled their business.

Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Al Horford and the crew can be tough to deal with, but they are also the easier group to defend. For that reason, the answer has to be them.

Again, the Miami Heat can beat either team, while the trilogy between Milwaukee and Miami would also be epic. So, there’s that.

Either way, the Miami Heat can sit back and wait on whomever, as both teams are still trying to get where the Miami Heat are already currently at. It should be fun!
