Even At Gloomy 4-7… Miami Heat Nowhere Near ‘Doomsday’ Scenario

In their best performances this season though and not all victories, the first Golden State game for example, there has been a clear difference in their performance from their worst performances, though all of those have been defeats.

What you’ll notice in their best showings this year, the Golden State games and the Portland Games are both great sets of examples, is that the Miami Heat are playing the right way.

And that is, both, evidence and a reason for optimism.

It’s “evidence” that this team isn’t as bad as some would have you to think or believe. And actually, this being a “bad” team is very far from being the case, as they just have more tinkering to do for fluidity, efficiency, and cohesion on both sides.

However, it is also a reason for optimism for those same set of circumstances. With all of their warts so far, they have shown you that they can still be a high-level team capable of competing with the league’s best.

That’s absolutely key.
