Miami Heats Tickets Continued
In 1987, after some influence from Billy Cunningham, the NBA voted to expand
itself by adding four new teams. The Miami Heat came into the NBA for the 1988-89
season with an unproductive first year. The team started out the season by losing
its first 16 games, an NBA record. The team ultimately finished 15-67 under
former Detroit
Pistons assistant coach, Ron Rothstein.
The Heat picked Glen Rice from the University of Michigan in the 1989 NBA Draft
and moved from the Midwest to the Atlantic Division for the 1989-90 season.
However, the Miami Heat continued having problems in the NBA and never won more than
two consecutive games, en route to a 18-64 record.
The Miami Heat acquired Shaquille "Diesel" O'Neal on July 14, 2004 in a historic
trade with the
Los Angeles Lakers. Wade and O'Neal worked well as a pair and each solidified
their position as NBA elites with both averaging over 20 points per game. The
season also reunited several former club members. Ron Rothstein, the Heat's
inaugural head coach, became their assistant coach and both Steve Smith and
Alonzo Mourning rejoined the team. The Heat advanced to the Eastern Conference
Finals but lost to the Detroit
Pistons in Game 7.
The 2005-06 season was the year for the Miami Heat when they took the Conference Title and then won their first Championship over the Dallas Mavericks with the series score at 4-2 for the Heat.
