Reasons why the Miami Heat are built to beat the Bucks: More options
This goes hand-in-hand with the point of having more shooting but takes it to a broader scale. The Miami Heat simply have more offensive weapons to work with this season.
When they got swept by the Bucks last year, they simply didn’t have enough options on offense. They had some great players, but when they went cold there was no backup.
Butler struggled all series long, as did Herro. After that, all they had were Goran Dragic and Bam Adebayo, who finished first and second on the team in points per game.
As much as people rag on Butler for not showing up, sometimes players just have a bad series. With the additions, Pat Riley made this summer, that hopefully won’t matter as much.
Tucker and Omer Yurtseven are great, and they can score from the outside well. However, the most important addition on the offensive end is Kyle Lowry.
Lowry has averaged 15+ points per game in the last five playoffs he has played in. On top of that, he has also averaged at least five assists per game.
Having another player who can create his own shot and playmaker for others at Lowry’s level will be a gamechanger this season. The Bucks have the players to guard him, but it makes their life a whole lot harder.
Hopefully, the Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks face off in the later rounds of the playoffs. That would be a very, very fun series to watch.
