Dwane Casey got a taste last night and he didn't like it.

The Toronto Raptors head coach led his team to a narrow two-point victory over the Miami Heat Friday night, but despite the success he doesn't want to see the Heat much more this season.

The Heat have been one of the hottest teams in the NBA the second half of the season, completely turning around their fortunes from a seemingly destined lottery team to one that could potentially make some noise in the postseason. This certainly isn't lost on coaches like Casey.

It will be very interesting to see if the Heat do make the playoffs and do play above their seed like they essentially have been for the past few months. The Heat don't possess the elite talent they once did, but Erik Spoelstra has them resembling the Spurs of the east in a manner of speaking and opponents are having difficulty handling them.

The Raptors currently sit in the third spot in the Eastern Conference while Miami is a game back of the Pacers for the eighth and final spot. The Heat are only two games back of sixth and three back of fifth as the race for the final playoff spots in the East is still pretty tight with just a few games left this season.

There's certainly still a possibility we get a Raptors-Heat matchup in the playoffs and while Toronto would surely be favored in the series, the margin may not be as great as once thought.
