Game 1 is in the books. The Boston Celtics dispatched the Philadelphia 76ers with a Vin Diesel-esque performance: Fast and Furious. Now, Joe Mazzulla’s team will face a well-oiled Miami Heat in what will be a second stern test in as many games.
Of course, Celtics fans should take solace that their season is already going better than their most fierce rivals out West, but then again, even the Detroit Pistons have more wins than the Los Angeles Lakers, so I’m not sure how much stock we can put in that at this point.
