Miami Heat fans sent a clear message from Kaseya Center last week during the NBA play-in tournament.
With the Heat putting the final stamp on a blowout win over the Chicago Bulls, their fans set their sights on a first-round matchup with the Celtics — with cheers of “We Want Boston!” erupting from Miami’s arena.
Even without Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier, it should come as little surprise that the Heat would want to welcome a playoff rematch against Boston — especially after eighth-seeded Miami held on to beat the Celtics in seven games during the 2023 Eastern Conference finals.
