Back to storms original point that everyone is disrespecting the heat....
The heat had all those issues in the regular season. The Celtics are a supposed powerhouse and play like it at times. It's normal for bettors and linesmakers to see statistics and not "heart" or "coaching".
But that's why they play....
There’s been warning signs though and time for adjustment
Celtics struggled in first two rounds against one really bad team and one chokey teams
Celtics have always had issues. Much worse defensively this year, unreliable stars, misfitting pieces. Talented but lacking something
Heat kind of had issues all year long but they got healthier, made good moves after clunky start, and beat the Bucks in 5
Should have been more respected before the series started
