Through It All, the Heat Prevail: Miami Now Holds the East's Fifth Seed

There's been a lot of talk about Dwyane Wade not getting MVP, and "the Heat will be lucky to get in the playoffs" nonsense.

We all know that Pat Riley started the rebuilding process and this is a new team.  The only players that remain on the team from the championship year are Wade and Udonis Haslem, but both are talented young players.

This is now a relatively young team with a lot of young stars like Micheal Beasley, Wade, and arguably the steal of the draft Mario Chalmers—who fell to the second round. Also, this team has a young coach and a winning record.

Next year, I think this team will be top three in the East and have a chance of winning a championship. The Heat will be around for a long time because of how young the team is.
