I wrote last month about just not knowing what Miami would be and the uncertainty. After preseason, I've bumped them up to 49 wins. I don't love the process of @EthanJSkolnick's reference on ancient history, but he's been right about the results, the Heat have a superstar and are going for it. I worry about them gassing out with this pace, but they're going to murder the first three months.

Even in preseason, any time Myron Gardner is let loose, he’s such a pain in the you know what to face. @hothothoops @5ReasonsSports #HEATNation

The Heat's over-under remains around 45.5 at most sports books. Even with the strength of the East, the over is looking like a good play. Miami's style will give a lot of teams trouble early in the season.

So Giannis Antetokounmpo dropped 18 points in the first half last night But that’s not why it mattered It mattered because of the coverages he saw compared to game 1 Quick thread on the shift:

They’re not all the way jelled. It’s the second preseason game. But watching the Miami Heat’s defense for a full 48 is going to be so much fun. Mathurin got the basket off the tip here, but look at 1.) when NOP’s starting its offense 2.) how difficult it was to get a good look.

This sequence probably isn’t the best example. But I think the Miami Heat’s stifling half-court defense is gonna force teams into less-than-ideal shots in early-clock situations, further fueling their pace. And that’s going to be a nightmare for opponents w/ Giannis/Davion/etc.

It’s been two games he’s played. It’s been months since they made the trade. But I swear to god there are still some days I have to pinch myself to remember that Giannis plays for the Miami Heat. This still does not feel like real life.

Myron shot 40.4 percent from deep (26-64) LY, but he shot 37.5 percent from distance over his final two G-League seasons on nearly four attempts per game. I think he’ll be around 37-38 percent this year, which is big with his energy/defense. He’ll have plenty of open looks.
