Miami Heat
At the moment, things are interesting for the Miami Heat. You might say that they’re heating up.
The Heat are now tied 3-3 with the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals.
If they lose game seven on Monday, they’ll be the first team to lose a playoff series that they led 3-0 in NBA history.

Yikes. On the other hand, the Heat were not even supposed to be here. This is a play-in team. With an upgrade at the point guard spot, they’d be serious title contenders next season.
Why not Irving? Sure, he’s a risk. The payoff could be enormous. For all of his flaws, Irving is one of the most talented offensive players in NBA history.
This next team is well aware of that, too.
