Show Notes
Miami Heats defensive rating of 115.2 may not be as impressive as it seems, as its only slightly better than the Clippers 115.1. While they excel at disrupting deep shots, they allow the most open threes in the league. Their performance against the Easts top six teams reveals personnel flaws, with guards like Davion Mitchell struggling against elite scorers and wings like Tyler Herro and Kelel Ware being outmatched by bigger players. Contenders have bigger, bouncier athletes who dont overhelp and leak easy buckets. The Heat could improve by staying home more, but their defense only shines against lesser teams. Upcoming games against Atlanta, double Toronto, and Boston will test their schemes against speed and slick passing.
