Figuring out the Miami Heat is a difficult proposition.
Calling their 2016-17 effort a tale of two extremes would still be promoting the roller-coaster ride brief. According to NBA Math group ratings, they actually spent one day functioning as the league’s best and worst squad, based on information from the 20 games in each situation. Head coach Erik Spoelstra showed his coaching acumen yet again using a midseason change to a drive-and-kick crime, and his team reaped the rewards to the point it nearly vaulted back into the Eastern Conference playoffs.
At what degree can we expect the group to play, although it should almost assuredly make the postseason this time around with? Following the All-Star break, the Heat posted a 5.6 net rating, which left them trailing just the Golden State Warriors (11.0). During their final 15 contests, that number dipped into some more reasonable 3.1.
Can they maintain that number? They kept most of their key players and added Kelly Olynyk to the fold, but the scouting report will be out on their new offensive fashion.
Though the level at which Miami played during the concluding segment of last season still ought to scare off bettors further regression should be expected.
