Since LeBron James left the Miami Heat has become “wandering generality” instead of “meaningful specific”

Standing at 30-28 at the All-Star Break, this season summarizes the identity of the Miami Heat lately: a seven-game winning streak and a five-game losing streak adding up to a borderline playoff outlook.

Adding up all the games in the post Big-3 era, the Heat have a combined record of 163 wins and 155 losses. Thus far, this season has continued that middle-of-the-pack trend of the last few years.

“Don’t become a wandering generality. Be a meaningful specific.”

Wandering generalities include getting better, great effort, playing hard, finding identity, ad nauseum.

Examples of meaningful specifics are sinking 80 of 100 3-point baskets in practice, making 95 of 100 bunnies at the rim, holding opponents to under 85 points or forcing 4 24-second violations in a game.
