A: Obviously, getting to the Eastern Conference finals is a significant accomplishment for any team other than the Cavaliers. And for the Heat, it would have to be more meaningful considering it came after again playing the second half of the season without Chris Bosh, then playing the second half of this series without Hassan Whiteside, and even playing these final two games with a diminished Luol Deng, because of his wrist injury. But, as I've said from the start of these playoffs, anything beyond reaching Eastern Conference semifinals is playing with house money. This never set up as a championship season for the Heat, but rather one for a return to relevance. Securing the No. 3 seed in the East, tying for the Southeast title, and proving that 2014-15 was an injury-induced fluke was what mattered most. The reality is that 2015-16 was about establishing a baseline for what comes next. Through these 104 games, when including preseason, regular season, playoffs and now this Game 7 against the Raptors, the Heat had given themselves a read on what they have and how best to attack free agency. No matter if the flight after Sunday's game is back to South Florida or on to Cleveland, 2015-16 has been a Heat success. So that makes Sunday like every game in this series: playing with house money.
