At 6-7, the Miami Heat are a far cry from the squad that went on a historic 30-11 run last season. And while it’s still early in their 2017-18 campaign, fans are right to be concerned.
The offseason may not have been all that exciting for the organization, having missed out on signing Gordon Hayward. But the front office was able to bring back James Johnson and Dion Waiters, retaining the core group that was able to finish last year 41-41, after an 11-30 start. Reassuring fans that despite Dwyane Wade’s departure, the franchise was in fact working its way back up to the top of the Eastern Conference.
