Wednesday's 111-98 victory over the Utah Jazz was the most meaningful victory of the season for the Miami Heat -- beating a quality team on the road. However, the way in which they won demonstrated that Miami is still not playing at a championship level.
That's because, despite various high screens and handoffs, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh still wound up taking turns in iso setups in which each routinely massaged the ball for several counts before making a move.
Wade was the beneficiary of 12 one-on-one attacks during which he totaled 17 points.
LBJ tallied 18 markers in his 16 iso situations.
But since both Wade and James can run themselves into plentiful scoring opportunities, the Heat focused on stuffing the ball into Bosh. Unfortunately, Bosh's 17 man-to-man encounters resulted in his scoring a mere eight points. His latest performance underlines the fact that while Wade and LeBron are legitimate franchise players, the marshmallow-soft Bosh is still a superstar wannabe.
