4. Miami Heat
It was never fair to expect the Miami Heat to keep winning at the absurd pace as they were through the first couple weeks of the season. They’ve dropped a couple of games recently but make no mistake this is still a good team that is going to be extremely dangerous if they can remain healthy in the Eastern Conference.
Jimmy Butler is playing at an MVP level, even despite the fact that he simply doesn’t have a 3-point shot in his arsenal at this point in his career, and Bam Adebayo has made the jump that many hoped he would make this season. It’s early, but the Heat look good and their offseason additions couldn’t be working out any better.
I still maintain that the key for the Heat’s season revolves around Tyler Herro’s continued play. Right now, he’s the best bench player in the league and it’s not even close.
