The Miami Heat officially secured a spot in the NBA postseason. This was expected, of course, but now the Miami Heat can focus on two things: getting the top spot in the East and preparing for the postseason.
The Heat have been one of the stronger teams all year. Even without a fully healthy team, they have won several games this year.
When they are at full strength, they look to be one of the teams competing for the NBA championship.
The Heat have several strengths.
First of all, they are a top-five defensive team in the league. Second, they have excellent leadership, both from a player’s standpoint through Jimmy Butler and Udonis Haslem, while they also get it from their staff through Erik Spoelstra and Pat Riley.
They also have the best bench scorer in the entire NBA, Tyler Herro.
The Miami Heat also have a few glaring weaknesses that have become obvious after their four-game skid last week. If these issues are not addressed, it will make it harder for them to beat the top teams in the NBA in a best-of-seven series.
Here are what their top weaknesses currently are and why they need to be solved before the postseason.
