Miami Heat Closing Issues May Look Similar But Aren’t Quite The Same

Take a deep breath out there, as the Miami Heat are still hovering near the top of the East. Though they’ve slipped back into the number three slot in the conference, don’t give up on them just yet.

Many will look at them at times and say that this is the same old Heat doing the same old thing. However, that’s not the case with this team.

This is an entirely different Miami Heat team with a very unique issue and that’s even if you want to call it that. You say that because it isn’t a deep issue at all and in fact, the explanation lies at the very surface as well.

If you just look at the roster, when it comes to this particular collection of guys, at least, they still haven’t played together a ton.

In the grand scheme of it all, they are still green as a team.
