What Is The Miami Heat's Biggest Weakness?

The majority of NBA organizations greatest weakness comes on offense, defense, or in the front office, but not the Miami Heat.

Instead, Miami holds little control over their biggest weakness, which is injuries.

This season, stars Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, and Tyler Herro have missed multiple games. Herro has appeared in eight of their 25 games. Not to mention, key contributors Haywood Highsmith and Duncan Robinson have been sidelined.

Without Adebayo and Highsmith, their defense becomes an issue. They have struggled to stop teams such as the Charlotte Hornets and Chicago Bulls in recent days.

On the other hand, Herro's absence hurts them on the offensive end. He was averaging career highs in points and assists prior to his injury. Without him, the scoring load is once again placed on the shoulders of Butler.

Miami has arguably the league's top front office, with Pat Riley and Erik Spoelstra highlighting it. They drafted forward Jaime Jaquez Jr., who is proving himself as a top rookie, with the No. 18 pick. Not to mention their ability to scout and develop under the radar prospects.

The Heat struggled with the injury plague last year, which became more apparent during the postseason. Herro sustained an injury in Game 1 against the Milwaukee Bucks, while guard Victor Oladipo also went down with an injury.

If Miami can sustain health when the playoffs come around, they are once again a threat to reach the NBA Finals, regardless of their seeding.
