Miami Heat: Let me tell you why they can sustain their recent hot shooting

The Miami Heat have shot the lights out up until this point in the season. The question at hand, can they sustain such a high level of marksmanship?

The Miami Heat have been a complete 180 of the team they were last season, ok, at least a 90-degree corner-cut. While they can sometimes still go through those offensive lulls that we have become so accustomed to hating, although, with less likelihood of occurrence among this particular version of the team, they have been a completely opposite team this year than in previous years.

As mentioned above, the biggest Miami Heat issue prior to this season was their lack of offense at times, which could be explained by the fact that they didn’t have a guy. For the umpteenth time, a guy is a player who, when all else fails, when things slow down, or when a team needs to stop the bleeding or a run from an opposing team, can go get that bucket or make that play that’s needed.

Enter Jimmy Butler. Not only has Jimmy’s production from an individual player standpoint been welcomed, needed, and quite the sight to behold, but he has emboldened everyone around him with exponentially enormous confidence, which is something you love to see from your superstar. With that guy in tow, the Miami Heat have not only treaded water offensively but have excelled.
