Miami Heat: Ranking the 5 biggest playoff threats to the Heat

Ranking the biggest playoff threats to the Miami Heat and a potential NBA Finals run. 

The Miami Heat have been one of the most impressive teams in the Eastern Conference this season. They’ve consistently sat atop the conference for what feels like the past couple of months and don’t have any plans of giving the 1-seed up.

With just a handful of games remaining in the season, the Heat has the fourth-easiest remaining schedule with eight of their last 13 games coming at home.

However, even if the Heat enters the postseason as the 1-seed in the East, they’re far from a sure thing. The East is as competitive as it’s been in recent history and there will be plenty of teams that could give Miami some problems in a seven-game series.

Before the playoffs get here, we rank the biggest playoff threats to the Heat and a potential NBA Finals run.
