Miami Heat: One of 12 Teams With 14 Or More Scheduled Back To Backs
The Miami Heat have experienced great success in the Jimmy Butler era, that can’t be denied. But they haven’t been able to win a title though, something else that’s undeniable.
Though you could point to a myriad of things, many of them fair and relevant, the one thing that has hindered them the most during this era of Miami Heat basketball is health and vitality.
When you look at their bubble run a few years back, it also applies.
A hobbled Bam Adebayo and Goran Dragic, likely, prevented them from making that series with LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers a more hotly contested one.
It doesn’t end there though.
When you look at them being swept by the Bucks the following year, they were among the least rested teams in the league. With more time between the two parts of the bubble than there was between the bubble season and the next, the Miami Heat were also one of the last teams playing in the bubble.
