The Miami Heat don’t necessarily have a tough schedule before them this seaosn, but they don’t neccessarily have an easy schedule before them either. With quite a few easy stretches but a month or two, entirely, that seems to be all winnable, they sure had quite the fortune with the NBA schedule-makers.
While securing a playoff bid won’t be the toughest thing in the world for this Miami Heat team, a team that should be title favorites with Kyle Lowry in tow, the case might not be the same for securing home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.
