Miami Heat: Their Timeline Matches Up Perfectly With The Chaos
In light of this whole situation, the Miami Heat might be ready to contend at the perfect time. The impact of Kyle Lowry has already shown, the pace and defense have drastically improved for the Heat, and Bam Adebayo has been getting easier shots.
Tyler Herro has proven to be a very effective scorer for Miami as well. They also still have Jimmy Butler, who contributes in every way as the leader of the team. Once Victor Oladipo returns, the Miami Heat should be even better than they are now.
So, how exactly does the Kyrie Irving situation correlate to the Heat’s preparation for this season? Well first, if the Nets are without Irving, the Heat match up better against the Nets talent-wise.
Without Irving, the Nets are beatable. The Miami Heat have a good enough roster to beat them. How do we know this if they haven’t played each other yet? Well, the Milwaukee Bucks’ success reveals a lot about the Heat’s chances against the Nets without Kyrie.
In the playoffs last year, the Bucks defeated the Nets in seven games in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. In the series, the Nets played three games without Kyrie Irving, but with James Harden.
