The Celtics finished the regular season as the second seed in the Eastern Conference and have beaten the Atlanta Hawks and the Philadelphia 76ers in the first two rounds. 

Last year, they made the NBA Finals for the first time since the 2010 season (and defeated the Heat in Game 7 of the Conference Finals). 

While the franchise hasn't won a title since 2008, they have now been to the Conference Finals five times in the previous seven seasons. 

As for the Heat, they are the eighth seed but have one of the most talented rosters in the league. 

In the first two rounds, they beat the Milwaukee Bucks (who were the first seed) and the New York Knicks.
