Figuring out the Miami Heat is a difficult proposition.
Calling their 2016-17 effort a narrative of two extremes could be selling the roller-coaster ride. According to the rolling group evaluations of NBA Math, they spent one day apiece working as the league group, based on information in the previous 20 games . Head coach Erik Spoelstra showed off his coaching acumen yet again with a midseason change to a drive-and-kick crime, along with his group reaped the benefits to the point that it nearly vaulted back to the Eastern Conference playoffs.
It ought to almost make the postseason this time around, but at what degree can we expect the team to play? Following the All-Star fracture, the Heat posted a 5.6 net evaluation, which left them trailing just the Golden State Warriors (11.0). Throughout their final 15 contests, that number dipped into some more reasonable 3.1.
Can they maintain even that number? They retained nearly all of their players and added Kelly Olynyk into the fold, but the scouting report will be outside on their new offensive style.
Further regression ought to be expected, although the level where Miami played during the concluding section of last season should still frighten players off.
