Miami Heat vs. Atlanta Hawks: 3 big questions and a prediction

Will the Heat’s supporting cast show up in the postseason?

One of the biggest reasons why the Miami Heat finished as the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference is due to the play of their supporting cast. The likes of Max Strus, Gabe Vincent, Caleb Martin, P.J. Tucker, and Tyler Herro.

The contributions of their supporting cast are what made the Heat special. If they can’t get similar production from their “others,” I’m not really sure we’re going to see the same dominant HEat from the regular season.

We should get a clear indication early on in this series of what we can expect from the Heat – specifically, their “others” – in the playoffs.
