Miami Heat: Balance Is The Key With This Iteration Of Team

The Miami Heat enter this season with a great chance to get some things done. They analyzed their faults after the year to make an educated selection in the offseason and in the form of Kyle Lowry, almost scientifically, but that leads right into the next point.

Sir Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Action & Reaction states that “for every action in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction”. Essentially and from a physics perspective, it’s the illustration of balance.

What travels up must, in turn, come down. What exerts force, must then embrace recoil or show stress-proofing to the resistance, as it’s just the way that the world works… or physics.

In any situation, that same balance is key in this conversation and about the Miami Heat. Always priding themselves on defense, an essential part of how they always go about operating in any given year, this offseason and subsequent season seems to be about a little something different.

The Miami Heat will enter this season better equipped than they have been in the last few. With new faces, they are more balanced, from top to bottom.

This Miami Heat team is among their most balanced in a few seasons and in multiple ways. From a starters to bench perspective, from an offense to defense perspective, from a size to skill perspective, and quite a few more polar categories, they show a certain semblance of balance across those ratios that they haven’t in the last couple of seasons.

That should only bode well for their hopes and chances, as it not only offers them more versatility across matchups and scenarios, but it also gives then depth in any of those situations and scenarios.

It’s one thing to be able to throw out one… or even two guys in each and every scenario that can get the job done, but to have three or four in every scenario is something totally different… and the Miami Heat might just have that capability.

Whether it runs that deep is yet to be seen, but will be tested early and often. Even still, with just a bit more balance, versatility, and diversity to how they operate, they are in store for some pretty big things.
