So the Heat & Celtics aren’t intense rivals?? I’m confused…

The NBA failed to foster regional rivalries. Baseball is easily the strongest because not long ago the American and National Leagues were essentially its own entities and you wouldn't see them outside of the All Star game and World Series. You had a reason to actually hate your conference and division rivals. Fuck the Dodgers btw. Kinda sad that they are moving to the NBA model of no difference between the two and leaning on the legacy of the old days to keep the rivalries alive.
