Miami Heat: Off to a 1-3 start, ‘symmetry’ on both sides at the core of issues

The Miami Heat are off to a 1-3 start and no, that’s not, at all, ideal. With many pointing the finger in multiple directions at once—Kyle Lowry’s inconsistency, poor play by Dewayne Dedmon, or this team still needing to get bigger just to name a few among several more reasons out there, perhaps, it isn’t any individual one of these issues singularly.

And while there may be multiple instances of the above-described scenarios occurring, along with a few not specifically mentioned as noted, is there something else at the core of all of that? The answer is the key to the Miami Heat overcoming their rough start so far.

The Miami Heat are a team that does it a certain kind of way. In victory or defeat and hopefully, more victories than defeats, they go about playing the game in a certain manner when they are operating at peak capacity.

They rely on ball and man movement. Now, like all teams or players in sports, reverting back to bad habits happens, though the best of the best find themselves guilty of that the least, one would think and it seems.

And if you look at the Miami Heat this season, so far in this very small sample but like so many years prior, they are operating at their best when everyone is getting involved, in one way or another, to help their teammate do something good that, ultimately, helps the team be its best.
