MIAMI – You can’t spell Miami Heat without meh. Which is exactly where Erik Spoelstra’s team stands at the midpoint of the 82-game regular-season schedule, at 21-20. And you can’t find the 2024-25 Miami Heat without looking all the way down to – once again – the play-in portion of the Eastern Conference standings. So, no, everything is not fine at midseason. Because as much as anything, you can’t have a read on where this is headed over the second half of the schedule until you find out where Jimmy Butler is headed. Yes, there was intrigue in Sunday’s victory over the San Antonio Spurs with Spoelstra relenting and playing Bam Adebayo and Kel’el Ware together for an extended stretch for the first time. But that also came in a game Butler scored eight points. Against the Spurs, you can win with eight-point Jimmy Butler. Against the top of the East, you cannot.
