"If last year was any indication, Miami needs to make a slight adjustment to its offense this season. As Mo Dakhil, a former NBA Video Coordinator for the LA Clippers and San Antonio Spurs, points out, the league has kind of caught up to their dribble-handoff action that the Heat loves to run. Especially without Duncan Robinson, the Heat will need to adjust."
"Theoretically speaking, the Tyler Herro injury is not going to make life any easier for Spo as he prepares to revive the offense this season. Sure, he's only expected to miss a month of the season, but it's going to be difficult to set the tone and then completely alter things 15 games into the year when Herro is ready to return."
Miami's offense relies heavily on dribble-handoff actions that have become predictable and less effective. The league has adjusted to that action, and the absence of shooter Duncan Robinson further reduces its potency. Erik Spoelstra faces pressure to alter the offensive philosophy and add new wrinkles ahead of the season. Tyler Herro's injury complicates early-season implementation because he is expected to miss about a month, forcing a different starting five and an early offensive identity. In five games without Herro last season the Heat went 0-5 with an offensive rating of 110, a bottom-five pace if sustained. Spoelstra's history of adjustments suggests a potential complete offensive makeover to address a clear weakness.
