"The Miami Heat are certainly playing faster and with greater pace, but the results simply have not been there. Despite ranking 8th in pace in the NBA through four preseason games, the Heat's offense is still struggling mightily. At this point, there's a chance this slight adjustment to the offense simply won't have the impact that the coaching staff had hoped."
"Through four preseason games, the Heat ranks 28th in offensive rating, 27th in points per game, 23rd in shot attempts per game. Why is all this concerning? Well, it's simple. The Heat are playing faster, but they're not scoring more, nor are they even getting many more shot attempts. If the Heat are playing faster, and the statistics certainly point to that, what is the point of it all?"
"Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra may not admit it just yet, but you have to wonder what may be awaiting the Heat during the regular season if they're offense is going to continue struggling to this extent. Even when completely healthy, this was a team that was going to have its work cut out for it. With Tyler Herro expected to miss at least the first month of the season, their job offensively was only going to be that much more difficult."
The Miami Heat increased team pace, ranking 8th in NBA pace through four preseason games, yet offensive production remains poor. The Heat rank 28th in offensive rating, 27th in points per game, and 23rd in shot attempts per game during the preseason. The faster tempo has not produced more scoring or significantly more shot opportunities. Injuries and an incomplete rotation contribute to the limited sample and struggles. Tyler Herro is expected to miss at least the first month of the season, further weakening offensive capacity. Coaching staff and front office face potential second-guessing if struggles persist into the regular season.
