Remember back when the Miami Heat's strong start to this NBA season was helping to paper over any pressing concerns folks had about this club? That's clearly no longer the case. The Heat have wobbled their way to six losses over their last seven outings, and their struggles on both sides have stripped Miami fans of the distractions that previously allowed them to back-burner any big problems.
Like, say, the utterly disappointing showings put forth by fourth-year forward Nikola Jovic. Yes, the same player the Heat inked to a four-year, $62.4 million extension before his nightmare season started.
