The Miami Heat were on a three-game losing streak before handling San Antonio in Texas on Thursday, but if you were online or checking into the social media world, you would have thought the world was going to end.

Then they went on the road, losing at Boston without Jimmy Butler and P.J. Tucker. They would then turn around to play the Raptors again, coming up in defeat.
While both Raptors games were very winnable, the Heat still didn’t have Kyle Lowry. Without Kyle Lowry, they were missing so many things that turns this team into a championship contender.
From what we’ve seen without Kyle, this team is essentially a better version of last year’s team. From the old habits of holding the ball with no movement to the lack of rim attacking, down to the overall streaky shooting— they are all still there.
