ASK IRA: Is it as simple for Heat as others have superstars and they don’t?
Q: What happened to the Heat’s defensive pride? They let Luka Doncic score 60 after he played the night before and arrived in Miami at 4 a. m.
Unacceptable on every level. – Joe, Miami. A: Or is it as simple as greatness finds a way?
This is what the NBA is about, winning through superstars. Luka Doncic is every bit of that , something the Heat lack. In a league that favors offense, where referees think nothing of rewarding efforts by such players with free throws, sometimes the best scorers outscore even quality defenses.
Yes, the Heat have Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro and Norman Powell. But they don’t have a Luka. Sometimes it’s as simple as an unstoppable force being that, no matter the drain of the NBA schedule.
So, now, Kevin Durant next, followed by Victor Wembanyama and then Donovan Mitchell. The star power will keep coming, while also reminding the Heat of what they lack. Related Articles Submit your “Ask Ira” question here!
