Whether expectations are too high or not high enough this coming season will be a litmus test of things to come possibly this Spring.
What does the number 45 represent?
Michael Jordan wore '45' during his "baseball years" and even a quarter of the 1995 NBA season during the his second go around. Otherwise the number 45 is pretty much subjective.
The number 45 in the NBA to me is the division between mediocrity, very good and well.....not good enough.
In the case of the 2015-16 Miami Heat, 45 is just about right.
