After losing to the Washington Wizards 106-87 on Wednesday night, the Miami Heat dropped to 23-20, placing them sixth in the Eastern Conference. And although there is still half a season left of basketball to play, the team is not exactly performing up to the standards of neither the franchise, nor the fan base.
The Heat started off on a strong foot this year. Chris Bosh recovered from his blood clots. Dwyane Wade and Goran Dragic re-signed. Justise Winslow and Josh Richardson were drafted. And Gerald Green and Amar’e Stoudemire were brought on board.
Miami showed promise by way of their rookies and the likes of Tyler Johnson during Summer League play, winning six games in a row (with an overall record of 6-4).
