Miami Heat Falls Short Again

 After losing 7 games in a row including 5 home games, you have to wonder what is a team like the Miami Heat missing? 

Despite having key players like Tyler Hero, Bam Adebayo, and Andrew Wiggins, the Heat still falls short when it comes to facing playoff eligible teams. 

The Miami Heat has shown to produce high quality defense against teams like the Celtics and Timberwolves; however, they fall short in PPG % compared to other playoff contending teams. 

Players such as Andrew Wiggins and Tyler Hero need to be in the 28 PPG range along with Bam Adebayo in the mid 25 PPG range. Currently Tyler Hero, Bam Adebayo, and Andrew Wiggins are all in the 17-19 PPG range leading the Miami Heat to fall short when playing teams such like the Celtics, OKC, and the Lakers, who are featuring players scoring 28-40 points per game.

      Not quite, I’m implying the Miami Heat needs to create more opportunities to score if they’re going to have a chance at keeping up with these other playoff-contending teams. Great defense does help in a game, which I think the Miami Heat does have, but defense can only take you so far. These other teams are bound to score against the Miami Heat at some point in the game, and they need to be able to keep up scoring with these other teams. Recently, Tyler Herro and Andrew Wiggins have been putting on quite a show. I’m interested to see what they will look like as Jaime Jaquez gets involved with this offense, as we saw from his last game he seems to be growing and advancing in his NBA career.
