The Miami Heat have overcome a lot to get to where they are right now.
They were the No. 8 seed and even lost their first game of the play-in tournament, and now they’re hosting an NBA Finals game.
But as great as this run has been, their season could go down in oblivion if they don’t get the job done now that it matters the most.
That’s why NBA analyst Craig Carton believes their season is actually tomorrow.
"The Heat's season is tomorrow night. If they don't win Game 4, Denver is just too good." — @craigcartonlive pic.twitter.com/b5WCRj4avm

Carton explained that they’re simply not going to be able to come back from a 3-1 deficit if they have to travel back to Denver after a loss on Friday night.
He believes the Heat will be good enough to bounce back, adding that they’ve done a solid job of responding through adversity and when they have their backs against the wall.
However, it’ll all come down to whether the role players are able to knock down shots from the perimeter or not.
Carton also praised Bam Adebayo for his outstanding job on the glass, grabbing 17 rebounds in the loss.
He claims that Bam is being asked to do a lot, as he’s also expected to contribute offensively on top of his defensive and rebounding contributions.
Then again, he believes that will all go lost in the shuffle if the Heat fail to get the job done.
This team has usually responded well when they need to, and they better do it again on Friday night.
