No big beyond Bam: The Heat are back where they started
The Miami Heat are 2-4 to start their 35th season in franchise history. While it’s not cause for alarm — Miami was 7-14 to start the 2020-21 season — it is cause for concern. Last year, the Heat got off to a 6-1 start, and the only loss came with Kyle Lowry sidelined.
We knew that Miami had a guard-heavy roster coming into training camp and never signed a player to take P.J. Tucker’s role. But did any of us foresee that Jimmy Butler would play backup center before the month of October ends?
A Dedmon (minus 27 in 50 minutes)/Yurtseven decision looms for Spoelstra when both get healthy. In the meantime, Jovic and yes - Butler - play center when Bam rests: https://t.co/B9mfEdR368
