The Miami Heat have been amazing to start the season. They are off to a 5-1 start, with two wins against extremely quality competition. They beat the Milwaukee Bucks in Milwaukee a week or so ago, while also having the distinct honor of being able to say that they destroyed the Houston Rockets this past Sunday.
They are top five in six of nine of the most fundamental, important, and telling team statistics. This includes points per game(fifth), assists per game(third), blocks per game(second), steals per game(third), field goal percentage(T-second), and three-point percentage(T-first). They are not far behind in rebounds per game where they are tied for ninth, or three-pointers made where they are tied for ninth, while they could be better than their 23rd ranking in free throw percentage.
