The Miami Heat have certainly rebounded with a flourish after missing the National Basketball Association (NBA) playoffs last season. While a lot of that may have been due to the unforeseen departure of LeBron James who opted to go back to Ohio, the fact remains that the Heat have key talent that can certainly make up for it.
Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade went down to injuries and, apparently, that led to the downfall of the Heat last season. With no James to pick up the slack, the wards of head coach Erik Spoelstra simply failed to answer the challenge.
This year seems to be a different story so far, with the Heat doing fine with a 16–10 mark as of this writing. But despite the big improvement, Spoelstra and Bosh see the lack of consistency from the ball club owing to their previous games which have been won and lost.
Both may have a point and it would be best to address it as early as now. The Heat are on course to bounce back from a sorry season, but with teams expected to pick it up a notch, the going is expected to get rough come the postseason wars.
And if any adjustments and improvements are forthcoming, such may have to be done now. Spoelstra believes (via the Sun Sentinel) that the things they see now are most likely the scenarios that will ensue come the NBA playoffs.
With ample time to adjust and address the Heat are missing, fixing it as early as now and identifying what is lacking among the players in the team is a must.
That covers Bosh, Wade, and perhaps even Goran Dragić, who has surprisingly struggled despite showing big promise after being acquired in the latter part of the 2014–15 NBA season. The same goes for the rest of the crew who may need to add more effort to produce a more consistent Miami Heat quintet in the coming months.
