The Miami Heat's new-look offense may be the exact springboard that the team needs to jump back into contention in the Eastern Conference. And if the first two regular-season games are any indication, this Heat team has the chance to easily surpass all expectations that were placed upon them before the start of the year.
Through two games, the Heat's offense ranks third in points per game and eighth in offensive rating. They're also leading the league (by a good margin) in PACE of play. As a pleasant surprise, one of the Heat's biggest areas of concern heading into the year on the offensive end of the floor has also been a strength for the team.
