As the Miami Heat get set for the Eastern Conference finals against the Boston Celtics, Jimmy Butler and his teammates do so with the same air of quiet confidence they've carried with them since the NBA restarted its season.

The All-Star swingman brushed off the idea that the fifth-seeded Heat should feel like an underdog against the third-seeded Celtics when the series begins Tuesday night.

"We don't really use 'underdog,'" Butler said after Saturday's practice. "We may say that we have a chip on our shoulder, but I don't think that we're the underdog. I think that we're a really good team. We play together. Everybody knows their role. We just compete.
