16. Miami Heat (37-33)

The Miami Heat are going to make the playoffs. They’ll probably lose if five or six games to either the Toronto Raptors or Boston Celtics. Their fans will enjoy it and it might possibly be Dwyane Wade‘s last run in the NBA.

Something is just missing with this team.

The good news is that Justise Winslow has played better as of late, and Bam Adebayo continues to show that he could be a quality starter or even backup center in the NBA. The Heat have some nice young pieces. They desperately need a star, though.
