Boston Celtics vs. Miami Heat Eastern Conference Finals Preview

The Boston Celtics have advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals for the third time in the last four years. After outlasting the Toronto Raptors in Game 7, the Miami Heat are the Celtics’ next task. While the Heat are similar defensively to the Raptors and don’t pose a huge size mismatch, the Jimmy Butler powered offense poses more of a threat. With Hayward likely to return for the Celtics during this series, will he be able to effectively help them against the Heat after sitting for roughly one month with a major ankle injury? Nick Gelso and Cedric Maxwell discuss Kemba Walker coming out of a poor series against the Raptors on the Garden Report, then assess Jimmy Butler who's been one of the best players in the NBA Playoffs.
