ESPN and other national outlets, however, didn't seem to give the Heat the same "pass" as other teams have gotten, like the Lakers and Celtics, for their struggles.

Ethan Skolnick, Greg Sylvander and Alex Toledo compare what Miami has gone through to other contenders. Have they really had it worse?
