NBA experts Zach Lowe and Brian Windhorst recently discussed their thoughts of the Miami Heat’s prospects of making it to the postseason.
Despite a patchy regular season, the Miami Heat are still among the Eastern Conference’s best postseason prospects.
There is a concern among teams like the Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks, and New York Knicks that they might catch fire at the right time. The best illustration of the Heat’s potential is their incredible run through the NBA Finals last year.
NBA experts Zach Lowe and Brian Windhorst refuted the notion that teams aim to avoid facing the Heat during the postseason.
“They defeated them without six players the other night in Sacramento. On an NBA Today episode, Windhorst stated, “Their one game out of four.” “Here they come, those cunning chaps from Miami. Are you unable to see them? Zach, can you not imagine that occurring again when you play the Celtics in the second round?”
This is how any strong East team would respond upon seeing Miami on the other side of the bracket. These boys, my goodness! It is going to be awful—physical, vile, and cruel in the mud. It makes no difference to me what their track record or seed is. Lowe remarked, “Nobody wants to see these men.” “Nobody wants to witness Bam, Jimmy Butler, and Spo on the ground abusing people.”Bam thrashing people while Spo, keeping one step ahead of him, is creating zones and strategies in the background. They are a nightmare.
With a 33–25 record, the Heat are ranked as the fifth seed in the East. On Thursday night, Miami will travel to face Nikola Jokic and the Derven Nuggets in a repeat of the Finals.
