Miami Heat: Tyler Herro turns ‘Boy Wonder’ for first time in a while

The Miami Heat are on a pretty decent roll again. Winning three of their last three, The Bam Game over Brooklyn and two convincing wins over two of the three teams from Texas, this Miami Heat team might be looking to peak at the right time.

Considering the facts that Victor Oladipo could return as soon as he deems that he is able to deal with the pain or won’t further injure his leg as a whole, that Trevor Ariza is rounding into form as the near 40 percent three point marksman and forever plus defender he has always been, and lastly, the fact that Dewayne Dedmon is shaping up to be everything the Heat needed in a reserve big and some, then you have something really good going right now.

Also, while all that is fine and dandy because well… you need it to win if you’re the Heat, the rest of the team is starting to round into their best shape as well. Jimmy Butler has reached that point in the season where everything is starting to click for him, as far as his ability to score at all three levels.

The Miami Heat are looking as if they might peak at the right time, but can they actually do it?

As theorized, the big game-winning shot in the The Bam Game seems to have done something for Bam’s own confidence, which is great and as he’s being more overtly aggressive since. Also for a guy like Goran Dragic, who’s seemingly been off a tad in his return from the plantar fascia tear of a season ago, he’s getting back to being his old self as well.

While there are a few more bright spots that can be highlighted, there was one in the most recent game against the Spurs, a victory, that just can’t be ignored. Tyler Herro was, once again, himself.

You felt the same something about him on Wednesday night that you felt with him last season. You saw a controlled and quiet will to exert himself and his dominance on the game.

You saw him move with purpose and take his shots with confidence. That wasn’t Tyler Herro on Wednesday, as much as that was one of the first true sightings of Boy Wonder in a quite a little bit.

Hopefully, like the rest of his counterparts that needed to recalibrate themselves, he’s back for good. The Miami Heat sure could use it, most certainly need it, and would be much better off for it.
