Miami Heat: They’ve Thrived At Adjustment Needed For Al Horford’s Return
However, that’s the biggest thing there, so the adjustment really isn’t an adjustment for him, as much as the extra action it might take to get someone to their spots or ideal matchup offensively for Miami.
And if that “someone” is Jimmy Butler, his size and strength should allow him to do just that, though converting does get a bit tougher with a defender like Smart on you. You have to be fair there.
In any event, that’s the game and the job for Jimmy butler. More crucial to the whole game planning of it all on both sides though is the return of Al Horford.
A floor-spacing big who absolutely impacts his team’s defense, what are the core Miami Heat adjustments needed?
First off, it won’t be much more than Game 1 from an offensive perspective on the Heat’s side, as dealing with Robert Williams was much more of a hassle than dealing with Horford should be on the defensive end—period.
