25. Miami Heat (6-9)
Last week: 20
Over the last few weeks, the Miami Heat have been dropping like flies on our NBA Power Rankings. And it shouldn’t be all that surprising. This is a team that has been worse than many expected them to be.
And considering this is a team that many only had as a middle-of-the-pack playoff team in the Eastern Conference, that should tell you all you need to know about how this season has gone for Miami.
Not great.
The Heat has lost four of its last five games, and seven of their last 10. This team needed Jimmy Butler in the worst way, and they lost.
