The Miami Heat, coming off their lowest win total since 2014-15, faces pressing issues in their offensive and defensive statistics that must improve for future success. With an offensive rating languishing at 21st and critical areas such as free throw attempts and paint touches falling well below the league averages, a talent infusion, particularly in guard positions, is essential. Additionally, a revival of their gritty defensive play and increasing their deflections is crucial for regaining their competitive identity as they prepare for next season.
The Heat has been a bottom-third offense each of the last three seasons, and there needs to be a talent shakeup to improve their performance.
Miami struggled to score due to a lack of rim pressure and self-creation, which limited their ability to get to the free-throw line consistently.
The Heat has lost its grit and identity, as evidenced by their drop in deflections, which is a crucial aspect of their defensive philosophy.
Generating paint touches has become essential for offensive efficiency, but Miami recorded their fewest per game this season since tracking began.
