Heat’s most laughable Giannis-era prediction has been unearthed

Sports Illustrated writer Chris Mannix has predicted that the Miami Heat will miss the playoffs entirely in the upcoming NBA season. Mannix's forecast comes as Miami enters its first season featuring superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo alongside center Bam Adebayo.

The prediction also projects the Boston Celtics to secure the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. The projection has drawn strong criticism for implying that head coach Erik Spoelstra will fail to integrate the roster effectively.
