Give 1 Sec To Rate This Article post

The Celtics and Heat are ready to battle in what should be a competitive, physical Eastern Conference Finals series.

Miami, the No. 1 seed in the East, dispatched Atlanta and Philadelphia in the first two rounds of the NBA Playoffs. Jimmy Butler has been the driving force behind the Heat’s success, as the All-Star forward is averaging 28.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 2.1 steals this postseason.

Boston eliminated Brooklyn and Milwaukee on its way to the Eastern Conference Finals. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have carried the Celtics throughout the postseason, but they have gotten plenty of support from role players like Al Horford, Marcus Smart and Grant Williams.

Will the Celtics finally break through and reach the NBA Finals? Or will Butler and the Heat prevail
