The Miami Heat surprised everyone by reaching the 2023 NBA Finals after an injury-plagued season that reduced their aspirations by ‘regular season’ until placing them in eighth position in the Eastern Conference. Again, the franchise South Beach is seeing how various physical problems are affecting the playing time of several of its starters and rotation players. As a result, the team has lost three of its first four games, all of them away from the Kaseya Center.
Now, the Heat face three home games that appear vital to try to reverse the situation and equalize the balance. An objective that gains greater relevance if we take into account that, immediately afterwards, they will begin a tour that will take them to play nine of their next ten games as visitors.
The degree of urgency is such that Heat coach Erik Spoelstra himself has highlighted the need to obtain positive results. “This is an important week for us at home,” said the coach, according to the media. Miami Herald. «We have a lot of work to do. We have had a lot of changes at the beginning of the season. That’s no excuse. We simply need to have a productive week. We have three home games and some time to train. We need to turn the tables.”

These three home games will take them to face the Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards and Los Angeles Lakers, teams that, like Miami, do not present a positive balance after the first week of competition.
