"The Heat's new-look offense has the chance to be revolutionary as it continues to significantly outpace expectations through the first week of the season. Moving past the Jimmy Butler era, and without Tyler Herro, far and away the team's best offensive player, to begin the season, the overwhelming belief was that the Heat was going to take a sizable step back, particularly on one end of the floor."
"So far, the success can't be argued against. Through four games, the Heat have the seventh-best offensive rating, the best points per game average, and are top 5 in both 3-point makes and percentage. Even without their two best offensive players (Herro and Norman Powell) against the Charlotte Hornets, the team didn't miss a beat. Miami scored 144 points as it raced off to a 27-point victory."
Erik Spoelstra and the Miami Heat have implemented a new offensive philosophy emphasizing drive-and-kick actions, opportunistic post-ups, and an increased pace while de-emphasizing traditional pick-and-rolls. The offense has outpaced expectations in early-season play. Through four games, Miami ranks seventh in offensive rating, leads the league in points per game, and ranks top five in both three-point makes and percentage. The team scored 144 points in a 27-point win over Charlotte without Tyler Herro and Norman Powell. League observers remain surprised by Miami's offensive efficiency given the absence of its usual primary scorers.
