BOSTON — Observations and other notes of interest from Wednesday night’s 118-84 NBA playoff loss to the Boston Celtics:
– So what did we learn about the 2023-24 Heat?
– Not nearly enough.
– If anything.
– Be it because of Jimmy Butler’s indifference to the regular season.
– Or be it because of the injury-depleted state of the roster in the playoffs.
– Yes, there were a few feel-good stories along the way, from the development of Jaime Jaquez Jr. to the emergence of Nikola Jovic.
