Coulda , Shoulda , Woulda won it if not for Flash's injury in the Playoffs. Should make them all the more hungrey for a Title. With Riley taking over the window is open for a Championship. The leadership is there and Riley must make the talent work.

No chance at a title, though they might make it to the ECF. They have a terrific 1-2 punch in Wade and Shaq, but the competition in the East is fierce and the Heat lack the depth required to advance any further. Shaq is still the most dominate force on the inside but he's lost a step and has been injury-prone the last several seasons. They peaked last year, I believe.
