Okay but on the other hand, does anything have you worried about the team’s success?
Tachauer: Let’s be honest: as fun as close, nail-biting games are to get into, it’s going to be one heck of a long season if all of Miami’s games come down to the wire. I for one am not completely sure my nerves could handle it. So that aspect of the Heat’s first three games, has me a little worried. Especially given that they should have been eating the Orlando Magic alive, depleted roster or not. Playing down to competition cannot become a thing again, especially when dealing with Eastern Conference teams. Easy wins should be just that, and Miami needs to start taking advantage of them before it’s too late. The only other thing that I’ve hated seeing so far, is the team’s turnover issue; which unfortunately, is something they struggled with last year too. I know it’s early, but guys really need to start becoming better at controlling the pace, instead of struggling to keep up with the opponent’s. Dragic is always great at making sure the offense runs at his tempo, but anytime nearly anyone else is bringing up the ball, I’m slightly nervous. Maybe the return of point Justise Winslow will help though.
Johnson: Nothing worries me too much, besides Miami’s unshakable problem of playing down to its competition. Against Orlando, the Heat blew its 14-point lead while getting into quick foul trouble, that left an already depleted roster with limited options. But guys are still finding their way back into the flow, so I can’t say it’s time to go full panic mode with this team just yet.
