The past is in the past but it’s difficult for those close to the Miami Heat not to imagine what could’ve been, had Chris Bosh not suffered a season-ending injury just after Pat Riley acquired Goran Dragic at the Trade Deadline. This emotion heightens with the NBA playoffs in full swing.
TNT’s Kenny Smith, also promoting a new reality show called Meet the Smiths (premiering tonight on TBS), thinks the Heat would’ve certainly made the playoffs with the ability to make serious noise once they got there, saying they would’ve been a top five team in the East “if Chris Bosh doesn’t get hurt.” As for next season, Smith thinks Riley will improve the roster but it’s difficult to project with so many unknowns and the season so far away.
