The Celtics comfortably dispatched the Heat in their first-round series, winning in five games to get revenge for their loss in the Eastern Conference finals a season ago.
But as Jimmy Butler missed the entire series due to an MCL sprain, he believes it would’ve been a different story if he had played.
“If I was playing, Boston would be at home,” Butler told Rock The Bells.
Butler has obviously had some success in the past in the postseason against the Celtics. The Heat’s star wing was their leading scorer in the last two playoff series between the two teams and helped Miami win two of the last three postseason meetings against Boston prior to this year.
