2020 in the bubble, 2022 and now 2023. Boston Celtics and Miami Heat will therefore meet in the Conference Finals for the third time in four seasons. A real rivalry already existing, revived recently, and a poster which will therefore decide, once once more, the NBA finalist in the East.
There’s the budding rivalry between the Pistons and Rockets over who sucks the worst in April, and there’s the Heat and Celtics over who’ll suck in June.
Memories of Bam Adebayo slamming one of the decade’s blocks on a young Jayson Tatum in 2020, a block that sent the Heat into the Finals once morest an already old LeBron. Or those of Max Strus who set foot in touch last spring and therefore sent Boston to play the Warriors for the ring. In the meantime, the Bucks had rolled in the East, in 2021, but overall Heat and Celtics have therefore shared their conference cake for four seasons now.
At the heart of this rivalry are two males of the alpha genre, Jayson Tatum on the one hand, whose talent seems to have nothing more frightening than his ceiling, and Jimmy Butler on the other, who made the Heat a candidate for the top from the second he set foot in the everglades.
Four seasons, three finals between Boston and Miami, three different scenarios but each time real series between two franchises that are beginning to know each other by heart. Quite original fact by the way, the 2023 conference finals will be exactly the same as in 2020, since if the Heat and the Celtics put the cover back on it will also be the case for the Nuggets and the Lakers, already opposed in the bubble.
And four therefore, with a 2-1 advantage for the Celtics on the current series. They are like that guys, they make a series in seven… series in seven.
