Is age catching up with the Miami Heat?

The first and second units have a significant age difference, but how should Erik Spoelstra mix and match their styles for the best fit?

The Miami Heat went into Detroit with a top-four record and boasting an elite defense. They left Motown with their faults exposed. So what to do? For this season they will have to adapt or die.

The first and second units have a significant age difference (2016 is used for age):

STARTER AGE

AVERAGE 31

ROTATION AGE

Chris Bosh 32

AVERAGE 27

Chris Bosh is in both units, but he is a starter in name only (SINO), because Erik Spoelstra takes him out of the game after only a few minutes.
