Miami Heat History

2001/02: The Heat brought in veteran free agents Rod Strickland, LaPhonso Ellis and Kendall Gill to support stars Eddie Jones and Brian Grant, while trading away Tim Hardaway. The return of Alonzo Mourning would give the Heat an air of optimism. However, Mourning was not able to play up to the same level before getting sick, as the Heat's new addition didn't click. The Heat would go on to miss the playoffs for the first time in 7 years with a disappointing 36-46 record. It would also be the very first time in Pat Riley's coaching career that he failed to get his team into the playoffs.

2002/03: With the continued effects of his kidney ailment Alonzo Mourning is forced to sit out the entire season. Without their big man in the middle the Heat endure one of the most frustrating seasons in franchise history, as their normally cool and collected coach, Pat Riley is fined several times for lashing out at referees following games, as the Heat finish in last place with an awful record of 25-57. Providing the only reason to cheer is Caron Butler who is named to the All-Rookie team with a solid 15.4 ppg. Although he was cleared to play medically Alonzo Mourning chose to start a
new and signed a Free Agent deal with the New Jersey Nets following the season.

2003/04: Prior to the start of the season the Heat were stunned when Coach Pat Riley decided to move into the front office letting longtime assistant Stan Van Gundy took over on the bench. However the Van Gundy era did not get off to a good start as the Heat dropped their first 7 games on the way to an awful 5-15 start. Quietly the Heat began to play better as Rookie Dwayne Wade began to get used to the NBA game. After not sinking any further over the next 3 months the Heat who were in the playoff chase in the Eastern Conference caught fire, posting a 12-3 record in March to climb within 1 game of .500. The Heat continue playing well in April as they won 5 of 7 to finish in 2nd place with a record of 42-40, which was good enough to earn them home court in the first round. Helping to guide them down the stretch was a 12 game home winning streak to close the season. Facing the New Orleans Hornets in the first round the Heat got the early jump in the series thanks to getting the 4th seed and the first 2 games at home winning both. However, as the series moved to the Bayou the Heat turned cold losing both. The Heat would rebound to win Game 5 at home only to lose Game 6 on the road as the home team continued to win each game. With Game 7 in Miami the Heat continued their winning streak on their won floor beating the Hornets 85-77 to advance to the 2nd Round. In the 2nd Round the Heat faced the Indiana Pacers and appeared to be on the way to a quick exit as they lost the first two games on the road by double digits. However coming home reenergized the Heat as even the Pacers who posted the best record in the NBA were burnt at American Airlines Arena as the Heat won Games 3 and 4 to even the series. After losing Game 5 in Indiana the Heat had a chance to force Game 7 by winning at home again. However the Heat would run out of gas 73-70 as the Heat took the series in 6 games. Following the season the Heat would stun the world when they acquired Shaquille O'Neal from the Los Angeles Lakers in a blockbuster deal for Lamar Odom, Caron Butler and Brian Grant, as the Heat who entered the season as a franchise on life support became one of the NBA's top franchises in less then a year. Come see the Miami Heat in the playoffs.

 

Heat History

The Heat got in the NBA in 1988 when the league granted an expansion team franchise to a group of investors that included Ted Arison, Lewis Schaffel, and former Philadelphia 76ers star Billy Cunningham. The Heat used its 1988 draft picks to select center Rony Seikaly, guard Kevin Edwards, and forward Grant Long.

Miami struggled to begin with but then selected forward Glen Rice and guard Sherman Douglas in the 1989 NBA draft. Miami’s record slowly improved over the next few years and during the 1991-92 season, the team registered a 38-44 record, qualifying for its first playoff appearance, losing to the Chicago Bulls in the first round.

Then the Heat hired former New York Knicks coach Pat Riley to guide the club beginning with the 1995-96 season. The Heat club also traded Rice to the Charlotte Hornets for center Alonzo Mourning. The effort paid off for the Heat in the late 1990s. This year, , The Miami Heat are hot. They have been winning many important league games and look good for making the NBA playoffs. With Shaquille O'Neal, Alonzo Mourning, Shandon Anderson, Eddie Jones and the rest of the team, the Miami Heat are are a great team this year.
