The Heat were able to come back from a losing effort to beat the Celtics in game 1. Should that type of luck continue in game 2? The answer is no it should not, but the Heat know how to make Boston suffer in the game. The problem for Miami is if Butler gets shut down then the Heat offense is out of the game. Still look for the Heat to pull out the win as the Celtics continue to struggle on the road.
