Are the Miami Heat REALLY the 11th-Best Team in the East?!

How do the Miami Heat actually match up with the best teams in the Eastern Conference? Wes Goldberg and David Ramil begin a two-part series breaking down Miami's positional matchups against the East's top contenders. First, they react to Michael Pina ranking the Heat 11th in the Eastern Conference and his concerns about the spacing around Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo. Are those concerns legitimate, or has the skepticism about Miami's offense gone too far?

Then they go matchup-by-matchup against the Boston Celtics. How do Davion Mitchell, Andrew Wiggins, Bam and Giannis stack up against Boston's loaded lineup? Finally, they turn to the New York Knicks and examine the challenges of defending Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns—and where Miami might have advantages of its own.
