Larkdight Studios Miami Heat Dynasty Rebuild (Season 1) July 26, 2025 5:00PM CST
The regular season is over, and the Miami Heat are about to enter the NBA Playoffs as hot as ever. With an impressive 57-25 record, which landed them the #1 seed in the East and home court advantage throughout the playoffs, the Heat understand that the pressure starts now.
Nobody had the Miami Heat atop the Eastern Conference at the beginning of the season, especially when the new General Manager shipped away franchise pieces and brought on expiring contracts, but through a great draft and elite coaching the Heat are favored to make it to the NBA Finals. A lot has to do with the maturity and skillful play all season long of reigning Rookie of the Year F Cooper Flagg. It helps that he has been aided by Heat cornerstone G Tyler Herro and a savvy veteran ready to make one last playoff run in G Paul George. This team is poised to run the table and see who is waiting for them from the West.
