Five New Year’s Resolutions the Miami Heat Must Make for 2015

4. Regain Your Offensive Identity

Despite losing LeBron James in the offseason, no one expected the Heat to drop off this much offensively.

When you consider Wade is one of the top eight scorers in the league and Bosh is averaging more points per game than he has since 2010, one would assume Miami is doing just fine in the offensive department.

That isn’t the case by any means.

The team ranks 27th in points per game and 29th in assists per contest. Mario Chalmers’ scorching start to the season has cooled down, as he is now shooting under 41 percent for the season. There is still more consistency to be desired from Deng as a third option, while the bench has contributed very little in terms of scoring punch.

To compensate for the lack of LeBron, the Heat need to utilize more ball movement and maximize the talents of the current players on the roster.
