As the Miami Heat are in the midst of a four-game slide, are they well-equipped to turn things around before the 2022 postseason? Yes, the answer is yes.
To encapsulate it all, a lackluster defensive effort didn’t help the Heat’s chances. To make matters worse, they are now number two in the Eastern Conference behind the Boston Celtics by way of tiebreakers—who they are set to face on this Wednesday in Boston. Despite holding the advantage on paper, Miami continued to be outperformed and even outclassed by teams who were without their first, second, or even third option, other than Brooklyn, of course.
