The Miami Heat are currently 3rd in the Eastern Conference with a 43-21 record. By the looks of it, it seems like this Heat team can contend for a title during the Playoffs. But if you look closely, you'll see a few interesting statistics that prove that the Heat will have a tough time winning games in the Playoffs.
The big thing is that the Heat are currently 13-17 against teams above .500, but their record looks so good because they dominate against bad teams. They have a 30-4 record against teams below .500. That is pretty impressive but it won't help them in the Playoffs.
Before the season, I didn't predict the Heat to win the title this year, but I kept an open mind. Now, however, I am making a bold statement in saying that the Miami Heat won't win the NBA Finals this season. Maybe they'll win it next season or in a few years, but at the moment, I don't think they have what it takes.
