The 2013-14 NBA regular season finally came to an end Wednesday night, and the playoff matchups are all set.
The Heat will begin its quest for a third-straight title on Sunday when it hosts the Charlotte Bobcats at the American Airlines Arena at 3:30 p.m. (EST).
It’s been a harrowing regular season for the defending champs, with Dwyane Wade missing a bunch of games and the Heat losing some frustrating games against subpar teams. It even had a chance to lock up the number-one seed in the East but stumbled down the stretch.
But none of that matters now. What matters is that the playoffs are a whole other animal. And it’s time for the Heat to turn on the retro rockets and start obliterating its way through the competition to get back to the top of the mountain.

On March 3, LeBron not only plowed through the Charlotte Bobcats like a devastating masked cyclone of fire and brimstone; he also shattered the all-time Miami Heat single-game scoring record by dropping 61 points on the night, sending Glen Rice’s 19-year-old mark off with the Viking burial it so deserved.
