This may sound like a conspiracy theory, but I’m pretty sure the league is going to try and give the edge to Boston over Miami so that we end up with a Lakers-Celtics Finals matchup.

The reason the Celtics have a chace now is because Hayward is back.  There is a very high chance the Heat and the Celtics will meet again in next years eastern conference finals.  The Heat should be just as good next season and the Celtics could be even better depending on what they do with the three first round draft picks they have in the upcoming draft.

True, granted Hayward still isn't 100%, but he gives them a much needed offensive weapon that can take pressure off of Walker, Brown, and Tatum. Who have each had stretches where they just can't buy a bucket.
