The point is that Miami will be more competitive matchup for Boston than Chicago would've been.

For Boston it's about getting through a series quick to avoid injuries and conserve energy for the next round, playing against the Bulls would've been an easier matchup with less fight/energy. Miami even if they lose you're gonna be in a dogfight with them and that's the point I'm making.

It's not about thinking the Heat will beat Boston it's more about how draining the matchup can and will be for the Celtics, Chicago wouldn't give that same energy.

True.

The celtics would still win a series against either team but against Miami, Boston will have to earn and merit it. A series against Chicago would be quick, easy, low event and painless. A series against Miami would be long, grinding, painful and tiring. Heat could push the celts to the limit, to a game 7. It would be impossible for the Bulls to extend the series to 5. They could not be able to do it.

Lonzo, Colby, Zack, DeMarr, Caruso, Ayo, Craig, and probably a few other 6'5'ish nyggas i'm forgetting all on the same team. Something gotta change.

Bulls are just like the Hawks, stuck in 2021… they’re still holding onto that brief period when Lonzo was healthy and they were the 1 seed for half the season

I'd keep Coby, DeMar & Caruso. Everyone could

Big issue is who's willing to take Lavine's deal.

Colby and Caruso for sure

DeMar is gonna turn 35 this offseason so they gotta ask him what he's trying to do. He has about 2 years left where he could be a respectable 3rd wheel on a championship team... so if he still cares about one more deep playoff run to exorcise those toronto demons like Lowry did, he needs to head on out now.

And yea, it sucks but it's time to move on from Lonzo officially. Granted i feel he's been under contract with them forever so it's gotta be coming off the books soon anyway?

I'd rather watch the Heats g league team play Boston than to watch them play Chicago by some fluke. Glad they handled bidness.
