Despite being on a historical run, the Miami Heat are still overlooked around the NBA. ‘Experts’ have only given a good prediction for the Heat during the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals.
They are 3-1 up right now and some people still think the Celtics can win this series. However, that doesn’t bother the Heat, and Erik Spoelstra made it clear they’re not losing sleep over who picks them to win or lose.
“We don’t give a s**t,” Spoelstra said. “We’re trying to compete. This is a great opportunity and our guys love these kinds of challenges. [They] love to compete and [they] love the playoffs. They love playing in an environment like this. This is what it’s about. You want to be present for the competitive nature of what we can expect tonight. That’s how our guys are wired.”

The Heat know they are considered underdogs against the No. 2 seed in the East, but as long as they don’t believe that, they’ll be fine. Jimmy Butler is on a tear right now, and since the first round, he’s been dominating the competition.
Even Jrue Holiday admitted there was nothing he could do to stop Butler, who also defeated the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the playoffs.
Jimmy Butler Shared Spoelstra’s Sentiment At The Start Of Celtics Series
Butler himself made it clear that the Heat aren’t paying attention to all the people talking about their chances to win. He knows the Heat are a tough team, and as long as they keep the good level, the Celtics and anybody who faces them will be in trouble.
The Heat are a tough squad, and tonight will face another challenge against the Boston Celtics. Gabe Vincent will be out due to a sprained ankle, and the C’s could take advantage of that. However, Miami knows how to play without good players, and this can be another chance to prove that they’re the real deal no matter what.
