I wanted to play Miami in the sense that, maybe last year, playing against Atlanta, we might have relaxed a little bit, knowing the history... with Miami, how hard they play, how well-coached they are, that, for a first-round matchup, regardless of the seed, that we were going to have to be ready to play and be ready to fight.
Jayson Tatum says he made up his mind that the Celtics would draw the Heat in Round 1 and that he wanted to play them, noting they didn't have enough of an edge against the Hawks in the first round last postseason.
