First Quarter Progress Report: Just who are the Miami Heat?

One-quarter of the way into their season, the Miami Heat have experienced many ups and downs.

Just five days ago, the Miami Heat moved into first place in the Eastern Conference with a win over a depleted Cleveland Cavaliers team. Miami had also defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder just a couple days earlier, with Dwyane Wade calling it the team's best win of the season.

Now, where do the Heat stand?

After two disappointing losses -- including a blowout at the hands of the Charlotte Hornets last night -- the Heat have tumbled to sixth place in the competitive Eastern Conference.
