Maybe there is still some lingering tension leftover from those ECF days? If not amongst the players since there has been a lot of turnover since then, then maybe the coaching staff or fanbase?
"Beat The Heat" has been chanted in the Fieldhouse at least twice that I know of since Lebron went back to Cleveland. Maybe not much, but still.
I think it's a matter of two vastly different fan bases and two vastly different front offices that still makes it a rivalry. I know Myles Turner was particularly celebrative the last time we played them in Miami and won by over 20, in that it was the "first time he ever won at south beach".
