1: With 26 games to go, how is the season shaping up for Miami as far as the playoff race?
Couper Moorhead: The HEAT are currently tied for the No. 8 spot in the Eastern Conference, and officially sitting No. 9 due to tiebreakers. Depending on what metrics you use, they have somewhere around the fifth or tenth toughest schedule remaining in the league, and it’s a strangely imbalanced one as well.
