Miami Heat: In Reality, They’re The Eastern Team That Everyone Is Looking Up At

Here is the most appropriate takeaway from the day though. Of course, it emanates from the friendly confines of Miami Heat Land.

If you are the type of person that likes transactions and a frantic set of causes and effects, then this was the day for you. If narratives are your thing, this was a thrilling experience.

Former Miami Heat player, legendary NBA tough guy, and current Miami Heat assistant coach, Caron Butler (or Tuff Juice as preferred here) tweeted out thoughts that perfectly sum up the entire situation.

To his thoughts, is it about the narrative, or is it about the reality of it all? If it’s about reality, then the reality is that the Miami Heat are still the best team in the East and every other team played catch-up in the moves they made.

However and among that, the facts still remain the same. The Miami Heat sit on top and everybody else is looking up at them.
