Miami Heat
One of the biggest surprises of the playoffs was the Miami Heat being swept by the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round.
Milwaukee was favored to win the series, but no one expected the reigning Eastern Conference champions to be ousted so quickly. The duo of Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo were not nearly enough to go toe-to-toe with the Bucks.
Pat Riley has never been one to stick with the status quo when things don’t pan out. Even when the Heat were winning championships, Miami was always looking for ways to strengthen their roster.
This time around, Riley knows that the Heat need to address a few needs on the roster before they can compete for a title again.
