Miami Heat 2023 playoff gear

Gear up for the #Heat’s playoff push right here:

The Miami Heat are even hotter than their name suggests.

A complete underdog against the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference, the Heat upset the No. 1 seed in an historic upset.

Jimmy Butler, who had 42 points in the Game-5 victory, tied the contest in the dying seconds, forcing overtime. From there, the Heat won 128-126.

Miami became just the sixth No. 8 seed to defeat a No. 1 seed since the playoffs went to a 16-team format in 1984. The Heat also became the first team ever to advance beyond the first round from the play-in round.

But another Cinderella awaits. Miami moves on to face the New York Knicks in the second round after the No. 5 seed Knicks also pushed aside their opening-round foe, the Cleveland Cavaliers, 4-1.

Can the Heat stay hot? Make sure you do in Miami fashion by grabbing some of the latest 2023 NBA postseason gear which can be found below:

The Miami Heat will meet the Milwaukee Bucks in game two of the NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals on Wednesday night.

The Miami Heat will meet the Milwaukee Bucks in game two of the NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals on Wednesday night.  Last game the Heat was able to shut down the Bucks offense and make the game difficult for Giannis and company in the second half.  Meanwhile, the Bucks will look for a bounce back victory to even the series on Wednesday.

The Heat could take a quick 2-0 series lead with a win tonight, and if Jimmy Butler is able to put up close to 40 points again then we may be looking at a repeat of game one.

Prediction: The Bucks will need their offense to show up tonight and if they are able to get their 3-point shooters going the Heat could be in for a long night. I believe that the Bucks can win and tie the series tonight but I’m going with the Heat (+5) with the points.
