Miami Heat have had a rocky start to the season but garnered a miraculous 8-win streak to put the team back into playoff radar. However, our efforts have come a long way to suddenly drop off in the 4th quarter. Some of the games have close margins but a good amount have the teams outscoring Miami by double digits.

The team is still coming to grips with new players and having them adjust to their roles, I’ll give them the benefit of doubt for that. However, you would think the Heat would be closer to .500 when it comes to the last quarter. It is worrying to watch the our team have a 10-point lead just for us to keep missing shots and have the other team chip their way back into a tie, and at the same time, Spo will not call a timeout to force the offense to reset. He will let the other team come back into contention and then call a timeout.
Overreaction, but if you want more analysis: it’s the start of the season and our vet leaders DGAF right now. Also, we’re incorporating new faces and Herro’s injury doesn’t help. Don’t forget we won a lot of games in the 4th quarter last season so it’s not like we’re not capable of pulling it off. Give them time.
