After dropping two of their first 10 games, the Miami Heat have recovered slightly by picking up back-to-back wins this past week against the Milwaukee Bucks and Washington Wizards, respectively.
Even with those two wins, the Heat clearly have the issues. While they’re an above average, perhaps even a really good, defensive team, the Heat are bad, if not terrible, on the offensive end.
When Goran Dragic is off the court, this team struggles mightily on that side of the ball. Hassan Whiteside isn’t a natural post-up big and other than Dion Waiters, this team doesn’t have another guy that can create his own shot. Miami isn’t that 2-8 team that we saw open the season, but they’re going to continue to struggle this season.
