The Miami Heat are unquestionably the most over-analyzed team in the NBA as fans and the media alike are curious how this collection of talent will coalesce. On one hand it's hard to rationalize making stark judgments about such a new team only several games into a long season but there's no denying their biggest and most glaring weakness is proving to be their undoing in their three losses.Naysayers could gripe about the point guard position -- and an upgrade there is needed -- but LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are more than capable of shouldering the load in terms of ball-handling, creating plays for others and defending the opposing team's point guard through most of the game. As everyone gets more familiar with the coaching staff's playbook, the expectation is that the offense will run more smoothly over time. But as the saying goes, you can't teach size, and the Heat need some help for Chris Bosh down low on both sides of the court.
"I don't think we can change what our inside presence is," said Wade when asked about the Heat's lack of size after Tuesday's loss to the Utah Jazz in which Paul Millsap erupted for a career-high 46 points, scoring most of his points in the paint. "Tonight Paul had a good game. There's no question around it. Our big guys have been doing a good job to this point of holding other power forwards and other big guys under their average so we're not going to worry about that. We understand we're not the biggest team, but everyone in the league has an advantage somewhere so we have one as well."
