"The Heat have won their last two games, but if you've paid close attention, it's pretty easy to see that they haven't been the same team. I wouldn't place all that blame on Herro, but it's no coincidence that he's back in the starting lineup, and all of a sudden, things on the offensive end of the floor seem off again."
"If you take the last two games as a sample size, and an extremely small one, the Heat go from being the highest-scoring team in the league to a bottom-5 scoring team. They also go from having the 13th-best offensive rating to the third-worst. Perhaps most eye-opening, if those statistics weren't enough, the Heat go from playing at the fastest pace in the league to outside the top 11."
With Tyler Herro back in the starting lineup, offensive production and tempo have declined markedly. The Heat went from the league's highest-scoring team to a bottom-five scoring team in the most recent two-game sample. Offensive rating dropped from 13th-best to third-worst, and pace slipped from fastest in the league to outside the top 11. The team posted its two lowest-scoring and slowest performances of the season in that span. Questions now arise about Herro's fit with the Heat's current playstyle and potential long-term roster decisions. The next game against Detroit offers an early opportunity to reverse the trend and quiet concerns.
