Last Friday, I wrote a piece imploring Miami Heat fans not to panic despite the team losing four of their past five games. Since then, the Heat have won four of their last five games — but Miami blew a 10-point lead with 4:42 left at the Washington Wizards last night in a 103-100 loss.
All things considered, an 11-6 record to start a season that has featured lots of road games, several injuries and little rest is good. The Heat are just a game out of first place in the East following Saturday night’s loss.
