Thank goodness I'm not a basketball historian because evaluating this 2022-23 Miami Heat team is going to be a nearly impossible task. Yes, they are having a good playoff run, defeating Milwaukee and Boston, but can you ignore 84 games of mediocre regular season and play-in basketball as if they never happened?
I really hope Denver wins the NBA Finals. If Miami wins it, the playoffs are almost certainly going to be expanded to 20 wins, which will further dilute the importance of the regular season.
