The Miami Heat return to Toronto for the first time since being dispatched in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals. Their lineup has undergone a significant revamp, with the departure of career Heat man Dwyane Wade the most painful. Close behind in impact was a nasty divorce between the team and Chris Bosh.
With the breakup of the Big 3, Miami must learn how to build a team like everyone else, i.e., through wise drafting and patient player development. At the moment, they are in a holding pattern, as evidenced by roster spots for ex-Raptor James Johnson and career bencher Luke Babbitt.
