True. They were sort of expected to come down to earth, but not crash this hard.
Then again they've had a lot of injuries and guys missing this season.
Could make the same argument for a team like the celtics who the heat beat to get to the finals. They're still above .500 tho.
The heat do always seem to be a team that comes on strong late however, so will be interesting to see how the east shakes out. My suspicion is maybe teams aren't valuing seeding as much since it doesn't sound like there will be enough fans allowed to create a home court advantage anyways.
