The Heat are 5th in the conference and only 3.5 games behind Boston for first. I don't think that's a really terrible record with more than 3/4 of the season to go. Considering Wade hasn't been fully healthy it's actually pretty good. It will take some time for the team to gel, they have three players who have played the majority of their careers as the only true superstars on their teams. Once the guys learn to play together, they'll be a huge threat come playoff time.
It's going to be an awesome post-season in the East this year! Boston, Orlando, Miami... and then you have Chicago who is not far behind, especially with Boozer back in the lineup. The Hawks can definitely be an upset team as well. Gonna be one helluva year!
