Did Miami Heat makes strides in loss to Milwaukee Bucks?


Q: The Heat simply could not close out the game without Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro. The better team closed it out. – Roland, Borrego Springs, Calif.

A: Yes, the Bucks with their entire rotation, including Khris Middleton, are a better team than a Heat roster lacking Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro and Haywood Highsmith. But that’s why I believe the game has to be viewed through a different prism. If what the Heat put on the court on Tuesday night could play that way against the fully loaded Bucks, then there is a hope that Erik Spoelstra’s team in its totality can do damage against Milwaukee. That was an entertaining night of competitive basketball, which is not always something you get in the NBA in November. But what matters most, and always will matter most, is whether the Heat can put it together when Jimmy and Tyler also are on the court You get those two as their usual selves added to the aggression of Tuesday night’s Bam Adebayo and now with the supporting cast that has been developed of Jaime Jaquez Jr., Josh Richardson, Caleb Martin and even Kevin Love, and better times could be around the corner.
