The Heat play in the East, and thus get somewhere between 25-40 nights off a year. They mostly choose to not try, and how can you blame them? No doubt the Heat would not make it out of the West this year, which is absolutely brutal. But that's why the Big 3 also won't be leaving Miami ultimately, and if any do it will be to Chicago or New York so they can avoid the big boy conference. Life's a lot easier when you can take upwards of half the season off.
I'm sticking with what I had at the start of the year. Brooklyn over Miami in the ECF. Brooklyn plays a bigger version of the Miami small ball, has better guard play, a deeper bench and more motivated players. LeBron is going to have to take it to his Cleveland level where he was carrying them. Anything less than LeBron carrying the Heat will not be good enough.
