Miami Heat: Should they tank or compete?

For years now, the Miami Heat fanbase has been spoiled with mostly successful teams with wildly intriguing storylines, but after some questionable decision making by the front office, the team finds itself in the NBA wasteland — somewhere in the middle.

After a relatively quiet trade deadline, the Heat are looking to scrap their way back into the playoffs, however, coming off a 3-game winning streak and two valiant efforts against Western Conference powerhouses (Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets), the team’s present and future seems murkier than ever.

With the team sitting at 30-34 and in 8th place in the Eastern Conference, a once spoiled fanbase is now tearing itself to bits in a constant debate: Tank or Compete?
