A: This all comes down to what your expectations are/were. If, in the void of Chris Bosh, you view/viewed the Heat with a maximum ceiling of second round, then they Heat still are playing up to expectation, thanks to a fortuitous set of tiebreaker rules. If you viewed the Heat as something closer to a team that could advance to the Eastern Conference finals, then you are correct about the shortcomings to this point. Frankly, with only one close game, I think the officiating is overstated. And even in Monday night's Game 4, the Hornets were the attack team, which tends to get you a more favorable whistle. Kemba Walker attacked. Jeremy Lin attacked. The Heat largely settled for jumpers and 3-pointers. So who are these Heat? We will get a good idea on Wednesday in Game 5, and an even better read on their possibilities in Friday's Game 6 in Charlotte.
