The Miami Heat aren’t a traditional team. That’s actually pretty ironic, because in all the best ways, they are exactly that.
While they are, very much so, non-traditional in the fact that they don’t prescribe to all of the current trends or fads of the game, they are traditional in that they do things their way. Often, that way is very similar or close enough, to the ways that the Miami Heat have always gotten it done.
That’s through hard work, determination, and skill. In any event, there has often been criticism of Pat Riley and company, because they have seemed to stick to their guns about how they operate. Though they aren’t ignorant to the new wave of building, operating, and winning in the NBA, they mix the old with the new in an elegant and effective way for them.
Basically, the Miami Heat are the living, breathing, and full-functioning embodiment of the core essence of this chat today. That “essence” is this.
Stats and/or numbers, without context, are just that… random numbers and stats. And without said context, they are never enough.
