The Heat won't lose out to a tiebreaker this season

After barely losing out on a playoff spot last season due to a tiebreaker loss to the Chicago Bulls, the Miami Heat shouldn't have any problems making the playoffs this season barring a terrible collapse.

They currently sit in 8th place in the Eastern Conference, but 8 of their last 12 games are at home; where they have a 20-13 record. It isn't much of a stretch to think they'll jump ahead of Washington and Milwaukee to finish in 6th place.
