The Miami Heat haven’t had as rosy a season as they would have expected after being one shot away from the NBA Finals last year. The Heat were not only the No. 1 seed in the East in the 2022 Playoffs but also in a Conference Finals Game 7 that they lost to the Boston Celtics. While the Celtics look like the best team in the league right now, the story is different for the Heat.
The Heat improved their record to 13-15 after a close win over the Indiana Pacers tonight. Their next games are against the bottom 3 teams in the West, OKC Thunder, Houston Rockets, and the San Antonio Spurs. When asked about the upcoming break in the schedule, Adebayo insisted on respecting the teams they’re about to face.
"They're still in the NBA."

“You can’t look at their records. They’re still in the NBA. That’s the bottom line. You can’t look at it like that. As you can see, we dropped two so you can’t look at it like that. They’re still in the NBA.”
The Heat recently lost to the Detroit Pistons and the Spurs, so they have to be careful over the next 3 games. Ideally, they can pull through and have a record above .500 by the end of this 3-game stretch.
Can The Miami Heat Save Their Season?
The depth of the Miami Heat has looked absolutely shocking this season. Despite the continued production of players like Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro, and Bam, the Heat just doesn’t have enough talent around them. They should be scouring the trade market for a solution or looking to blow it up.
The top-end talent on this team is very good and they have an extremely sound defensive system that will keep them in games even if they’re lacking offensive talent. Adding frontcourt reinforcements will be crucial and could turn the Heat season around.
