The Miami Heat have had a very rough start to the season. They are currently 13th in the Eastern Conference and have a pitiful record of 6 wins to 12 losses. This is well below what was expected of the 2020 Eastern Conference Champions. However, key players like Jimmy Butler have spent a lot of time not playing.
Heat’s breakout young guard Tyler Herro doesn’t seem to be fazed by the early struggles. He has thrown his support behind the current makeup of the Heat team and says that their season has been hurt by uncontrollable circumstances. While Herro is right about that, the hole may end up becoming too deep for Miami.
Tyler Herro: "I know this team is special. … This team is as good as last year's team that I was on." Says there have been things out of the Heat's control that has limited the team to begin the season.

This year’s East is a lot more competitive. While we expected Miami to be around the top, it seems they will be a low-seed if they make it in the playoffs. They have to contend with Charlotte, Atlanta, Cleveland, Orlando, New York, and Chicago to make it to a playoff spot.
Miami Heat: Is this season doomed?

Jimmy Butler and his health has to be a major concern right now. Reports suggest that his bout with coronavirus was more serious than expected. While he looks to be closer to game shape now, it will be something to monitor this season.

While Miami definitely has better chances to make it to the playoffs than Chicago or Charlotte, they still have to find a run of good games. Right now, every game is turning out to be a tough loss for Miami. But they are still just two games behind the eighth spot in the East right now. One good week and the conversation changes.
