The recent trade of Brad Marchand from the Boston Bruins to the Florida Panthers has drawn comparisons to Ray Allen joining the Miami Heat in 2012. Marchand, a former nemesis of the Panthers, was willingly dealt to the team. This trade parallels Allen leaving the Celtics to join a stacked Heat roster. Despite some similarities, the Marchand deal was done with the approval of the Boston side.
In a recent game, a controversial call involving the ball going out of bounds off Haywood Highsmith led to Erik Spoelstra believing Bam Adebayo was fouled. The NBA officiating report will be interesting to see if they acknowledge any mistakes in the 1.9 second play.
The Miami Heat managed to hold Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle well below their season averages in points but still lost the game. This highlights the fact that the team, even with players like Jimmy Butler and Andrew Wiggins, is currently not strong enough to compete at a higher level. The team needs to find a way to unlock their potential and overcome their struggles on the court.
