Miami Heat 2025 did not belong to NBA playoffs
As a seed number 10 at the Eastern Conference, Miami Heat went into an impossible run in the NBA play-in tournament to secure seeds 8 in Playoffs. This made them an appointment with Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round.

Heat never had a chance.
Subsequently Losing Jimmy Butler For excessive drama at the beginning of the season, it was difficult to know what to do with heat. Tyler Herro spoke a lot with this first round series and wasn’t good enough to carry the heat to a win. He couldn’t even take them to a close game.
Is the heat so bad? Was the NBA play-in tournament so joke? Or is it a force at the Cavaliers Eastern Conference? The real lies somewhere in the middle.
