ASK IRA: Is what the Heat did against the Bulls translatable against the Celtics?

Q: Never doubt a sleeping giant. The Heat have spotted the Celtics one Jimmy Butler and still are about to create havoc. Loved Friday night and gonna love this, too, Ira. – Dan.

A: Hey, have yourself a night, as you did Friday. And who’s to argue about the thoroughness of what the Heat accomplished against the Bulls, even in the absences of Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier. But let’s also not lose sight of how bad the Bulls are, and how anything short of victory Friday night would have created all sorts of Heat questions.
