The Miami Heat have had somewhat of a hit or miss season with the team showing good form most of the time, but also losing many games they could have won. Their away record for the 2015-’16 season is 20 wins and 21 losses, while their home record is 28 wins and 13 losses – much better than their away record.

“To say the least, I was disappointed. I truly wanted the Heat to progress through their side, so seeing them go out in the conference semifinals was a let down,” junior Holden Payne said.

The Heat unfortunately ended their post season campaign in the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Toronto Raptors with the series ending 4-3 in favor of the Raptors. In their first game, the Heat won 102-96. They lost the second and the third games 96-92 and 95-91 respectively, but then to keep the suspense the Heat won game four 94-87, tying the series at 2-2. However, the Raptors needed to only win one more game after Wednesday’s 99-91 victory, but the Heat managed to hold them off with a 103-91 win to take the series to game 7. Unfortunately, the Raptors played incredibly in the final game of the series, winning the game 116-89 and the series 4-3.

“

The Heat have certainly performed better. They’re not necessarily playing poorly, but this is definitely not they best they play. I had hoped that they could beat the Raptors and at least make it to the conference finals,

Hopefully, the Heat will be able to advance further into the playoffs next year and make an even bigger statement. Be sure to watch the Heat next season, with new players, we’re sure to see something new and improved.
