Miami Heat are trying to become competitive and go deep in the playoffs, but it is hard to do it after some of their best players left the team a few years ago. In 2010, the Heat became one of the best teams in the NBA after signing Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Bosh. This trio won two championships in four years, but it turns out they could have won more if the team management did a few things in a different way.

Beside the amazing trio, the Heat had some great role players who played well off the bench. One of those players was Ray Allen, who also hit the biggest shot in the franchise history during the 2013 NBA Finals.

Recently, Wade and Allen talked about the 2014 Miami Heat and all the problems the team dealt with.

Wade's comments

Dwyane Wade, who is currently playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, compared his team to the 2014 Miami Heat. The Cavaliers are struggling this season, so the shooting guard talked about his former team, revealing some of the problems the Heat had to deal with.

“Your jokes weren’t funny any more to other guys, when you walked in it wasn’t a big smile any more. Guys were just over you. It’s like being in a bad marriage. But we somehow made it to the Finals,” said Dwyane Wade. The shooting guard added that the Heat shouldn't have made it to the finals and that the Indiana Pacers should have eliminated them from the playoffs.

It took Miami six games to advance to the 2014 NBA Finals where they played against the San Antonio Spurs. It was a rematch of the 2013 NBA Finals, and the Spurs were ready to win this time and earn the title of the best basketball team. San Antonio was a much better team that year, needed only five games to beat the Heat. Dwyane Wade, who dealt with injury problems, averaged only 15.2 points per game in what turned out to be a devastating series for the Heat franchise.

Ray Allen talks about his final year in Miami

Ray Allen played the last two seasons of his career in Miami and he averaged 10.3 points per game. Allen saved the Heat in the 2013 NBA Finals as he made a game-tying shot in game 6 against the Spurs. Miami ended up winning the series and Allen won his second championship ring.

The sharpshooter stayed in Miami for another year, but he did not like the way players were treated.

Allen said that the Heat had too many practices and shootarounds, which was very tough for the players. “Organizationally, I don’t think they ever adjusted,” Allen said, talking about Miami treating their older players, including himself.
