Writing this on the back of the Miami Heat’s loss in Milwaukee, the third straight loss in three games away from Miami. It feels like last year’s playoffs didn’t really happen and the Heat are just continuing what they were doing last regular season. Lack of offensive ideas, lack of offensive creation, a lot of *insert X player* “please save me, I don’t know what to do” shots. And it starts at the point guard position, on what they can do versus what the team needs them to do.
The Heat have a big problem at point guard, and they need to address it sooner rather than later. Either that or your playoff fairy tale will turn into a ping-pong ball watch party come May.

Every option at point guard has one or two unique traits with some glaring deficiencies attached. Kyle Lowry is clearly the best option, as he is the one who can still organize the team and put everyone in their spots. But he can’t be your point-of-attack defender at this stage of his career. But, with the starting lineup as currently constructed, he has to be.
