Is a Boston Celtics-Miami Heat first-round series inevitable?

Might not the Hawks surprise us all and pull out the upset over a still dangerous but lesser version of a Miami squad?

While there is still a chance the Boston Celtics could find themselves facing the Atlanta Hawks and new head coach Quin Snyder in the first round of the 2023 NBA playoffs, it is more likely they end up playing the Miami Heat.

One of those clubs will emerge from the league’s 2023 play-in tourney with the honor of facing the second-seeded Celtics.

Might not the Hawks surprise us and stage the upset over a still dangerous Miami squad diminished by age, injury and roster position imbalance?

The hosts of the CLNS Media “A-List” podcast convened for a recent episode and shared their thoughts on the inevitability of a series between Boston and Miami.

Check out the clip embedded above to hear what they think might be coming down the postseason pike for the Celtics.
