With a 13-5 record, the Heat are still considered by most to be the best team in the NBA. Even with Dwyane Wade out, they have still managed to win and continue their success. LeBron has been playing like an MVP and Bosh has been playing extremely aggressive and producing more than people expected. Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole have done an excellent job running the point so far and the bench has done a great job. Joel Anthony has been solid and Mike Miller’s comeback has been great, but where in the world can the Heat find a way to improve?

In the wins, the Heat have made 42% of their 3 pointers and in losses just 32%. Erik Spoelstra needs to use his shooters more. James Jones needs to play more and Mike Miller needs to stop giving up shots and passing. When the Heat are shooting well from 3 point land, they’re hard to stop because of LeBron, Wade, and Bosh, all of whom are average 3 point shooters and just kick it out.

Another recurring problem recurring for the Heat this year in losses is free throw percentage. In the games that they lose, they shoot under 70%. Everyone pictures LeBron bricking free throws because he shoots 74% from the line for the season. When you are considered to be MVP of the league, you need to shoot better than that. When Wade has been in the line up, he has shot terribly too. The Heat get to the line so much and not making free throws has taken them out of games. They need all of the free points they get.

The last thing they can do to improve is eliminate turnovers. . The Heat are averaging 18.25 turnovers in losses this season and 15.54 turnovers in victories. Turnovers are the reason the Heat ever lose. The more they have the ball, the more they win. Time of possession is key for the Heat.

Overall, the Heat look very solid. Eliminating turnovers and making free, open shots will make them unbeatable. Look for a strong, slashing team with D-Wade back in the lineup and strong performances from the point guards. If things keep up, the Heat will be the champions by season’s end.

]]> Tonight at 7:30, the Miami Heat will take on the Cleveland Cavaliers for the first time this season. While this game is important for Miami to win, it is even more important to LeBron James. This was the team he was supposed to bring titles, but left to Miami to get them with his friends Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Tonight will be a game full of raw emotions and a young, feisty, and talented Cavs team.
The Cavs have great young players in the number one pick of the NBA Draft, Kyrie Irving, and the fourth pick, Tristan Thompson. Irving has become the player they expected and leads the team in scoring. Thompson is developing, but has shown flashes of his talent. Cleveland also has three seasoned veterans in Antawn Jamison, Anderson Varejao, and Anthony Parker, all of whom are the only players still currently on the team that played with LeBron. Expect a feisty game where the Cavs go in with a David vs. Goliath mentality. This would be a big win for their city and team, and all of the players know that.
As for the Heat, expect a complete LeBron James takeover. Everyone knows how he turns it up when he plays the Cavs, but imagine him playing the Cavs without having to share the ball with Dwyane Wade. He will be doing the slashing that the team lacks without Wade and opening up shots for everyone else. Hopefully, the Heat will knock down the open shots that they get.
Tonight will be a David vs. Goliath matchup, but Goliath will win. Coach Spo gave the team the day off yesterday and everyone is rested. Players had the time to take care of their bumps and bruises and are ready to play. They won’t be fatigued and they will play some of their best basketball. The Cavs will fight, but when LeBron decides to take over, the game will be over.
