The Miami Heat Eliminated From Postseason Contention

Dwyane Wade’s #OneLastDance will end in Brooklyn.

The Detroit Pistons win over the Memphis Grizzlies 100-93 ends the possibility for the chance to make the postseason. This is the 3rd time in the 5 years since LeBron James left that they will miss the postseason.

It’s also just the 3rd time the Heat will miss the playoffs in a season Dwyane Wade started and finished with Miami, joining 07/08 and 14/15.

There will be a lot of hand wringing about how this happened. The Heat’s roster construction. Their disastrous home record that finishes at 19-22 after they beat the Philadelphia 76ers tonight. Their calamitous losses to the Hawks, Suns, and Bulls.

We will cover it plenty on the Five Reasons and Miami Heat Beat podcast. But April 9th, 2019 will hardly be remembered for this truly forgettable season ending.
