After beating D.C. on January 22 the “Heat” stood at 31-13 and were second in the Eastern Conference. Ira Winderman wrote,
The Heat arguably are not as good as their record.
I hate that argument. It is nonsensical. What record is a team as good as if not their real record? You could make that same statement after the eighty-second game. But okay, that argument is made all the time in sports, it is a predictor of future results so let’s play along. The “Heat” have gone 9-9 since January 22 and are now 40-22, fourth in the East. See! The “Heat” were NOT as good as their 31-13 record. Okay, Boomer. There are only twenty games left in the season. Are the “Heat” as good as their record now?
