If you re a Miami Heat fan who thought the team would just pick up where it left off after an incredible run to the NBA Finals last October, it s been a rough few days. This was not the encore you had in mind.
On Saturday, another unrecognizable Heat team thanks to players being unavailable because of COVID-19 precautions looked putrid in a 20-point loss to the Detroit Pistons, dropping the team to 4-7 on the year. The Heat has used a different starting lineup almost every game this season, and few have worked.
Summarized in fewer words: This season has been a huge bummer.
