Reflecting on the 2024-25 Miami Heat season, the author emphasizes the importance of accountability and honesty in sports analysis. Recognizing personal misjudgments, particularly regarding rookie Kel'el Ware's role and the impact of a healthy Terry Rozier, the article conveys lessons about player performance and strategic decision-making. The surprising starter duo of Ware and Adebayo demonstrated effective teamwork, while the unfortunate injury to Rozier highlighted the unpredictable nature of player contributions. This introspective analysis serves as a reminder of the ever-changing dynamics in sports teams.
I believe in holding myself accountable-and I was admittedly wrong a lot this year. Accountability in this industry is lacking, but that's a conversation for another day.
The duo outscored the Spurs by 23 points in 13 minutes, and Spoelstra obviously saw enough to start them together in their ensuing matchup.
Despite finishing in the 91st percentile in effective field goal percentage, Miami was still middling offensively when both shared the floor.
I was high on the Terry Rozier trade at the time, and how he played before his season-ending neck injury made it feel like I was justified.
