Miami Heat: Latest stretch of adversity might not be the worst thing

The Miami Heat have endured a recent stretch of adversity that would rightfully break any team or fanbase down to their most fundamental feelings. It practically did, as if you took a gander at the Miami Heat’s fanbase on social media, you would have thought that they were already eliminated from postseason contention.

On the other end of the spectrum, I will admit that I am somewhat of an optimist. I like to consider myself an optimal realist.

For me, this means that though I know and understand what my true options or outcomes may be, I am always the guy holding out hope or having faith that things can work out for me. You just have to operate that way sometimes to keep going, in whatever it is that you are doing.

In any event, that’s not only important because of how we all viewed the Miami Heat’s latest stretch of adversity in those present moments, but also how we all might perceive what it means for their future and moving forward. While some might think that what we’ve seen are signs of bad things to come, I don’t quite see it from that perspective.

For me, the things that we have seen during this latest stretch of adversity aren’t the worst in the world. Let’s talk about why.
