Miami had its high points this past season, but it was far from the same Heat team we saw just two seasons ago fighting for an NBA championship. They definitely showed some fight, but there are still quite a few areas that need work.

Final 2023-24 Record:

It wasn’t the season the Heat were hoping for, but they managed to turn things around when it counted, finishing with a solid 46-36 record. They won seven of their last ten games and clinched a playoff spot by taking care of business in the Play-In tournament.

Unfortunately, their run didn’t last long, as they fell to the Celtics in the first round, losing the series 4-1.

Top Performers:

It was all about Jimmy “B,” Jimmy Butler, and Bam Adebayo this season, as this dynamic duo led the charge for Miami. Butler stole the spotlight, averaging 20 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 5 assists per game. Not far behind, Adebayo posted a solid double-double with 19.3 points and 10.4 rebounds each night.

And let’s not forget about guard Tyler Herro, who chipped in with 20 points, 4.5 assists, and 5.3 rebounds.

So, how did this Heat squad find themselves in such a tough spot? Check out our Miami Heat Trades section below to get the inside scoop!

The Heat have kept their cards close to their chests this offseason, not making any major power moves. However, they did say goodbye to a few players and are counting on their current talent to step up.

Key Departures:

Miami kept things pretty quiet this offseason, mostly sticking with their core. They did part ways with veteran Kyle Lowry late last season and sent small forward Caleb Martin to the 76ers in a three-team deal that netted them some draft picks. Additionally, the Heat opted not to re-sign veteran guard Patty Mills.

Key Additions:

Additions? Well, there’s not much to chew on here, as the Heat are keeping things pretty much the same. They’ll be counting on their current roster — almost identical to last season’s — to step it up.

That said, we can’t forget about their draft picks! They snagged seven-footer Kel’el Ware out of Indiana, a first-round talent who could be a game-changer. He’ll be a solid asset alongside Adebayo, especially in the pick-and-roll, cleaning up the boards, and providing some much-needed defensive presence inside.

Who else but Spoel? Erik Spoelstra is back at the helm for his 17th consecutive season as head coach. He’s been a cornerstone of the Heat’s success over nearly two decades, leading the team to two NBA titles and four Eastern Conference Championships. Spoelstra’s experience and strategy continue to make him a vital asset for Miami.

Expectations for This Season

When it comes to coaching, don’t expect any surprises from Spoelstra. His style is all about empowering players, giving them the confidence to shine and play to their strengths. Spoelstra is notorious for creating systems that let his guys flow naturally on the court, encouraging them to embrace their individual styles while still playing as a team.

The Heat have a few kinks to iron out as they look to strike the right balance between their seasoned veterans and the younger players still trying to find their groove. The mission? Get back to winning games and reclaim that top spot in the East.

This team has been a force for nearly a decade, so don’t count them out just yet. But let’s be real — their NBA championship odds are looking too hot. While they’ve got the right coach and solid veteran leadership, they’re still missing that vital third player. They need someone who can step up on defense and take charge offensively when Butler or Adebayo hit a rough patch. Without that missing piece, they will continue to struggle to rise back to the top.

Regular Season Wins Prediction

Miami can definitely get it done in the regular season, and you can bet on a winning record this year. But a major turnaround from last year? That’s where I’m hitting the brakes. The Eastern Conference has seen some big trades this offseason, and teams are getting stronger, while the Heat pretty much look the same as they did last season.

They finished with a solid 46-36 record last year, but I’m not expecting much change this time around. So, I’m calling it: the Heat will likely wrap up the season with a 43-39 record. Not a bad showing, but certainly not a leap forward.

Playoff Chances

Don’t hold your breath on the playoffs for Miami this year — at least not for a 1-6 seed. The Play-In tournament feels like a more realistic scenario for the Heat. I’m keeping my NBA playoff predictions for this team on ice, especially considering the competition they’ll face in the Eastern Conference this season.

Key Players to Watch

For anyone who knows their NBA, it’s clear you should never underestimate Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. They’ve been the powerhouses behind the Heat’s success over the last few seasons, no questions asked. But looking down the line, keep your eyes on guard Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Tyler Herro. Both had solid seasons last year, but they’ll need to step it up this year if Miami wants a more comfortable spot come playoff time!
