Figuring out that the Miami Heat is a Challenging proposition.
Calling their 2016-17 effort a narrative of two extremes would be selling the roller-coaster ride. Based on NBA Math group evaluations, they really spent one day functioning since the league squad, based in each circumstance. Head coach Erik Spoelstra showed off his coaching acumen yet again using a midseason shift to a drive-and-kick offense, and his team reaped the benefits to the point it almost vaulted back into the Eastern Conference playoffs.
It should assuredly make the postseason this time around, but at what level can we expect the group to play? Following the All-Star fracture, the Heat posted a 5.6 net rating, which left them trailing just the Golden State Warriors (11.0). Throughout their final 15 contests, that number dipped to some more reasonable 3.1.
Can they maintain that amount? They kept nearly all of their players and added Kelly Olynyk to the fold, but the scouting report will probably be outside on their new offensive style.
Regression should be expected, though the amount at which Miami played during the concluding section of last season should still scare bettors off.
