The Miami Heat are inevitable.
It doesn’t matter who’s on the court or what seed they are; they’re going to be a tough rival come playoff time.
That was evident again on Wednesday night, as they stormed the TD Garden to take a ten-point win despite not having Terry Rozier or Jimmy Butler.
The series has officially started, as the Heat have won on the road to steal homecourt advantage, and that bodes trouble for Joe Mazzulla’s team.
That’s why Jimmy Butler poked fun at his rivals and took to Instagram to post an edit of himself in Jaylen Brown’s body, warning the Celtics not to let them win one game (via SportsCenter).

This is obviously a reference to Brown in what he said after the Celtics were down 0-3 to the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, a series they weren’t able to come back from.
Butler capped it off by jokingly stating that he might delete the post later.
Jimmy is a big troll, but he’s the kind of player who walks the walk when he talks the talk.
Unfortunately for the Heat, he might not be able to play in this series at all, not even if it goes to seven games.
Also, despite the win, the Heat will most likely not be favored again in this series, as the Celtics should be able to take care of business on the road and get homecourt advantage back.
Still, it’s nice to see this kind of competitiveness between two teams that clearly don’t like each other.
