Cote: After Heat falls to Cavs in Game 1, it's on Tyler Herro to prove he's star Miami needs | Opinion
Briefly

Tyler Herro, at 25, is in a crucial phase of his career as he seeks to solidify his role as the Miami Heat's primary star. Following impressive performances in the play-in games, his playoff debut against the Cavaliers was a challenge, scoring only 21 points in a loss. With star Jimmy Butler's recent struggles, including suspension and trade tension, the team's reliance on Herro increases. His trajectory has been promising, but the pressure mounts as he aims for a mega-contract while navigating the postseason without being the team's traditional No. 1 star.
Then they didn’t get swept, they won Game 1 and pushed the Celtics to seven games, ultimately proving that Tyler Herro is a valuable asset for Miami.
Tyler Herro’s performance in the playoffs is a crucial audition; despite his achievements, he has yet to establish himself as Miami’s definitive No. 1 star.
