Something seems different about the Miami Heat this season.
I have got itNorris Cole fade is more squared away than it was last season.
Oh, also LeBron James isn’t on the team which provides a blow that is decent-sized to Miami’s title hopes in 2014-15. After incorporating as thick favorites this time that the Heat are now shots.
Miami has veterans Luol Deng, Danny Granger and Josh McRoberts–three offseason additions president Pat Riley would have chosen as James’ sidekicks, not replacements.
Chris Bosh will be a part of the crime now, and he will do his best to reprise the role of 20-10 dynamo he performed with the Toronto Raptors. And Dwyane Wade will step back hoping his body holds up under the strain of increased responsibility.
On paper, it feels just like the Heat have enough talent. However, if another 28 matches esophageal his knees are missed by Wade, those postseason dreams could evaporate.
