Miami Heat: The Bucks Are A Team To Use For Data Collection

In those three games, Harden put up similar numbers to what he is putting up so far this season. The Bucks were able to capitalize on the situation and win in Game 7. This season, the Bucks blew out the Nets by 23 points.

If the Bucks could beat the Nets in all four of these games, then so can the Heat. Although it is true that the Bucks swept the Heat last year in the playoffs, this year the Heat are truly ready for the season.

In their season opener, Miami destroyed the Bucks by 42 points. In that game, they limited the Bucks on defense while shooting a hot 53% from the field and 43% from three as a team.

While it is more difficult to limit the Nets defensively, it is possible to shoot that well against them. The Bucks have a significantly better defense than the Nets. If the Bucks couldn’t contain the Heat, what chance do the Nets have?

In the playoffs, no team will get blown out by 42., but Miami’s outing against the Bucks shows what they are capable of against any team. Defeating the Nets or the Bucks will still be a challenge in the playoffs, but it is a challenge that the Heat are prepared for, and can overcome.
