"The rest of the NBA is beginning to figure out the Miami Heat's new, revamped offense. At least that's the way things are beginning to trend, and Norman Powell verbalized that much after the team's brutal loss at the hands of the Orlando Magic in the NBA Cup Quarterfinals. After the game, Powell said that teams are "doing a great job of scouting" the Heat's offense, and it's slowed them down. NBA expert Tim Bontemps noted on a recent podcast that the same fate was dealt to the Memphis Grizzlies last season, after they crafted a similar offense to the Heat's."
"Over the last eight games, the Heat's offense has suffered greatly. And it's not just about missing shots. They look out of sorts, their pace has slowed down, and, as Powell has noted, it does seem as if the rest of the league is quietly catching up to their offensive tendancies. During the stretch, the Heat rank 23rd in offensive rating and have begun to fall back from their league-leading pace. They're also just 3-5 in those games."
Opponents have begun to counter Miami's revamped offense through improved scouting, slowing the team and disrupting rhythm. Norman Powell said teams are doing a great job of scouting the Heat's offense, and Tim Bontemps compared the trend to the Memphis Grizzlies' experience. Over the last eight games the Heat rank 23rd in offensive rating, have slowed from a league-leading pace, and are 3-5 in that span. The coaching staff needs to implement offensive adjustments. Elimination from the NBA Cup provides rest and practice time before returning December 15 against Toronto. Tyler Herro's return has disrupted team chemistry.
