The Heat Are the NBA’s Most Puzzling Team

You never know what you are going to get with Miami.

If you aren’t sure of what to make of the Heat, who stand just 10–11 a quarter of the way through this NBA campaign, don’t worry. Really, none of us do at this point.

Over their last 16 games, the Heat—coming off a run to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals—have lost two straight, then won two straight, then lost two straight, only to win three straight, then lose four straight. At the moment, they’re in the midst of a three-game winning streak as they prepare to square off with the red-hot Celtics—the club that knocked them out to reach the Finals last season—twice in Boston before heading to Memphis to play the Grizzlies next week.
