ESPN Analyst Reportedly “Bored” With Miami Heat Despite Successful Offseason

After two consecutive postseason failures, the Miami Heat have to outperform expectations again to return to their contender status. Without a true superstar to replace Jimmy Butler, their path back to the Conference Finals remains in doubt.

On the All NBA Podcast, Tim Legler broke down how the acquisition of Norman Powell may not be enough to raise the Heat’s win total from last year.

“He’s going to bring something to their team because he had his best year of his career offensively,” Legler said. “He’s always been a guy who plays hard defensively. I guess on that alone, maybe you think there’s an uptick because they were at 37 last year. They add Norman Powell, so you think 38.5 should do it. You know what it is for me? I think I’m just a little bit bored with the Heat.”

Powell should drastically help their offensive struggles because Tyler Herro was the only player the Heat could rely on to generate offense on his own consistently. Even in a much weaker Eastern Conference, they will likely require more internal improvements from some of their younger core players. 

“I’m going to go under, and I will probably be wrong on that because they won 37 and they added Norman Powell,” Legler continued. “That alone should be enough, and Kel’el Ware had a very good rookie year. Maybe he just comes out of the gate like a monster.”
