Far as I can see, the Celtics have one total comeback down 0-2 in a best-of-7: 2017, first round. Against the Bulls, led by none other than Jimmy Butler. Not over until otherwise over. At large, in recent memory, what about the 2021 Bucks? Nets and Suns were both 0-2 comebacks? Draw the history even further and I'll mention the 1994 Rockets: Down 2-0, lost both at home in the Semis, but still won the Finals. The Heat themselves would tell you 0-2 is certainly possible. It's how they got their first title, after all.
In this eternal, enduring endeavor, tough times won't list. Tough people do. Be us not our own worst enemy. Why should we look at the dark side of things with such glee? But since this is South Beach, let's liken today to a surf. What's really coming? Big wave? Small wave? We don't know. But instead of fearing drowning along this Charybdisian monstrosity, hope instead we can ride over it.
WIN.
