The following season, the Miami Heat reinforced this structure on their way to a 4-1 gentleman’s sweep.

When Antetokounmpo is playing off Holiday, it’s way harder to load up your defense on him. Even if your group is moving and communicating perfectly, you still need great personnel.

Examining Victor Oladipo’s Season Debut With The Heat

Kyle Lowry, the shiny new sign-and-trade toy from the summer, has been unavailable for large swaths of the season. There’s been a constant feeling of “reinforcements on the way” while the Heat scrapped, slashed or clawed their way to the Eastern Conference’s best record. Victor Oladipo, a former All-Star (and a soulful singer to boot) has been on the mend all season, recovering from surgery on his quad tendon. We haven’t seen him since last May, where he gave the Heat four games of solid defense, inconsistent burst and shaky shooting. Let’s just say his injury-ravaged, three-team campaign during the 2020-21 season was a whirlwind for everyone involved.

Last March, Miami dealt Avery Bradley, Kelly Olynyk and a 2022 first-round pick swap to the Rockets in exchange for Oladipo.
