After being bested in seven games by the Heat, it may be natural for some Celtics fans to root against them, but for Miami’s shooting to take such a massive dip in The Finals — in the gentlemen’s sweep, they made just 33.8% of their threes after making 43.4% against Boston — leads to wondering minds. “What ifs” begin to trickle into the heads of Bostonians wishing their team had contended for a championship.
But the more important question to ask is, would the Celtics have been able to beat the Nuggets?
Historically speaking, yes.
