- The Miami Heat ranked at No. 6 on the list, one spot ahead of the Los Angeles Clippers and a single place behind the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Miami’s “fun stat” was the following: “According to the NBA’s tracking data, no team is scoring more points per possession off screens than the Heat (1.18), thanks to Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson,” Rohrbach wrote. “You would think they would run off screens more than 3.9% of the time (11th), even if the efficiency dips, to improve a middling offense
This stat shouldn’t come as a surprise because of their dynamic offense from three-point range. Miami consistently performs near the top of the league from beyond the arc.
Rohrbach included a section called ‘From the minds behind Yahoo Sports’ where Dan Devine shared his thoughts on the roster.
“Wherever the help winds up coming from, what’s crystal clear is that as long as Jimmy [Butler], Bam [Adebayo] and [head coach Erik Spoelstra] are upright and operational come April, May and June, the Heat will remain confident that no weapon formed against them will prosper,” Devine wrote. “If you don’t believe it, that’s fine. They believe more than enough on their own.”
