If you have not read the series’ introduction, the link is as follows:
My Eastern Conference seed projection: 9
I’m putting the Heat just outside the playoffs at 9. A crucial win versus the Hornets was good news but the Eastern playoff race from seeds 5 to 9 are extremely tight. A hard-fought loss to Toronto hurts their chances. I see them falling behind largely due to the absence of Dion Waiters and an overall lack of leadership. I mean, nobody predicted Miami to be competing for the playoffs anyway so…
Last 10 W/L record: 5-5
Every win counts for each team in this written series.
