Exploring three big questions that are facing the Miami Heat after losing in the Eastern Conference Finals to the Boston Celtics.

Looking back at this season, it will be hard not to look at it as anything but a success for the Miami Heat. However, considering the team was four points away from making a second NBA Finals appearance in three years, it will be hard nothing remember this season as a big “what if” for the Heat.

In the end, for the Heat, it will be an Eastern Conference Finals appearance and nothing more. The Boston Celtics were the better team and won a Game 7 on the road. There’s nothing you can take away from the team or their accomplishment.

For the Heat, though, the injuries will be the most difficult thing to swallow. And it will only bring about big questions for Miami heading into the offseason. Today, we’ll take a hard look at the three biggest questions that will dictate the Heat’s summer.
