"It only took one quarter of NBA Preseason action for the Miami Heat to showcase what many expect to be the biggest change to their offensive philosophy this season. They're going to play fast, and it showed early on in their preseason game against the Orlando Magic. The offense wasn't always pretty for the Heat, but it's pretty clear that they're making it a priority early on in training camp."
"Last season, the Heat played at one of the slowest paces in the league. In fact, the last time the Heat played at even a league-average pace, LeBron James was still on good terms with Pat Riley. Yes, the last time the Heat were ranked in the middle of the pack in the NBA in pace, LeBron was still in a Heat uniform."
Miami Heat are shifting to a faster offensive philosophy this season, emphasizing pace early in training camp. Coaches implemented a 16-second shot clock in practice to train the team to play quicker and that approach showed in the preseason game against the Orlando Magic. The team displayed quick transitions and ball pushing despite imperfect execution. The roster construction allows any starter to advance the ball, making pace a practical necessity. Without a clear star, the main question centers on how much faster the Heat will play compared with last season's among-the-slowest pace. Jovic earned a start beside Bam over Kel'el Ware, suggesting a potential edge after signing an extension.
