If the preseason is any indication, the Miami Heat’s offense will be one of the worst we’ve ever seen finishing at the basket.
So, uh, here’s hoping preseason is not, in fact, an indication of everything that’s to come.
Miami is currently shooting 56 percent at the rim. That isn’t just bad. It’s putrid. The NBA’s average finishing rate at the hoop so far is 66.2 percent. This puts the Heat more than 10 points below it. Only the Los Angeles Lakers are faring worse.
The biggest culprits of the Heat’s poor finishing are…
…arguably their three best (healthy) offensive players.
