Nobody expected the Miami Heat to make the NBA Finals this season. Why didn’t we believe in them?
Well, as much talent as they had, this team had limitations. For starters, they simply didn’t have as much talent as the league’s elite teams. This team also had roster limitations.
Arguably, they didn’t have a starting-caliber point guard. Kyle Lowry aged out of his prime, and Gabe Vincent is not a natural facilitator.
That may not have even been the biggest hole in their roster. The Heat didn’t have great options at the 4.
Caleb Martin is undersized for the position, and Kevin Love is a bit of a defensive liability.
Could they acquire Obi Toppin of the New York Knicks this summer?
