Miami Heat 03/04
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.
