Don’t get too high on Heat's 6-1 homestand

The Heat did a good job protecting home-court the last two weeks, but the 6-1 record isn’t as impressive as it seems. Here’s why.

By winning six of the last seven games at AmericanAirlines Arena, the Miami Heat are now in second place of the Eastern Conference with a 9-4 record. Pretty good right? In fact, since LeBron James took his talents back to Cleveland, Miami has never looked better. But this early season success, especially at home, is not just a result of a great team playing together but also of a relatively easy schedule.
