The Miami Heat may be bad bad
When it was official that the Miami Heat were going to miss out on both Bradley Beal and Damian Lillard over the course of one offseason, it was only natural to believe that this was a team that was going to take a step back. And through the first three games of the season, it absolutely appears as if that’s the case for the Heat. Miami is 1-2 on the season and there’s an argument to be made that they probably should be 0-3.
The Heat survived on opening night against the Detroit Pistons, winning by one point. They then lost to the Boston Celtics and Minnesota Timberwolves on the road. It’s been a rough start to the season for the Heat, to say the least.
After missing on Lillard and Beal, the hope was for the Heat that Tyler Herro would take another step forward this season. He was viewed as the only player that can be the saving grace for the Heat. He hasn’t taken that step forward. In an increased role, Herro has struggled with his shooting efficiencies.
The Heat might be bad. Like really bad. If this trend continues over the next couple of weeks, you can’t help but wonder what may be on the horizon for the defending Eastern Conference champs.
