Miami Heat: To Still Finding A Way To Feel Confident In This Team

The Miami Heat have a tough battle against the grain, but they are built to overcome it.

In the film discussed here, victory was not just possible; it seemed inevitable. The same can be said of the Heat.

Miami not only started strong but outscored the Bucks in a few quarters throughout the series. The team shot well too from three in Game 1, hitting 20-of-50 from deep.

Duncan Robinson shot the lights out (7-of-13 from three) and Goran Dragic was electric off the bench with 25 points. This was all while Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo made just eight combined shots.

Yes, the Heat probably needed too many minutes from Trevor Ariza, but what else can they do at this point but go with what they have. Speaking of what they have, Tyler Herro has to shoot better, while if they keep going as they are, the Heat probably will never out-rebound the  Bucks.

But the pieces are there for the Heat. Throw the anomaly that was Game 2 out of the picture for a second.

This team pushed Cream City to the edge when the two best players on Miami had muted offensive nights. Just like McDermott in Rounders.

And before McDermott could stop back into the Teddy’s place, he needed to lose everything one more time. He needed to go down bad one last time to realize what the true problem was before he could come back swinging.

In McDermott’s case, his greatest flaw was his blind spot for Worm, who constantly found trouble with his half-baked schemes. The same can be said for the Heat and their tactics thus far, forgetting that throwing everything at Giannis leaves everything else wide open if you allow it to be.

Basically, if there is one thing to know about a feisty team such as the Miami Heat, it’s that they certainly aren’t finished yet!
