Where did you go!? My Lovely!

Two stellar Q1 performances have been the catalyst for much change and excitement in Miami. The W4 loss of Timofey Mozgov greatly affected the team as they aimed to continue their impressive run of wins without their 6^th Man of the Year candidate. The team was able to keep the train rolling with standout supply from JJ Redick and Bismack Biyombo. However the team is now staring down the barrel of another week and another key loss – this in the case of rookie-star Kyle ‘King Kuz’ Kuzma. The small forward has been a great asset to the team and enabled the free reign of many others to produce consistent numbers. With the return of Mozgov, the Heat reshape and reassess their roster in an aim to keep one of the most hyped teams in the NLL on track for further success.

PLAYERS IN FOCUS

TIMOFEY MOZGOV

RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	TPG	FPG	PPG
8.0	0.3	1.5	0.9	0.5	2.8	11.8

Timofey Mozgov has been superb as a 6^th man during the opening of the season. He has put up big numbers when needed and allowed the Miami Heat to have a sturdy big man combination, which has been missing in previous rosters. Running in tandem with Bismack Biyombo that pair have imposed themselves on games and added to the 11-6 run that the Miami Heat have created.

KYLE KUZMA

RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	TPG	FPG	PPG
4.4	2.2	1.1	0.2	0.5	1.7	11.5

Kyle Kuzma has been a revelation for the Miami Heat – he has played the role of small forward brilliantly thus far in his short career. But going forward needs to see the board and basket more often to solidify himself as an NLL threat week in week out. Kuzma has been able to allow point guard Devin Harris to run rings and rack up dimes while allowing JJ Redick to find the open shot. Next step – finding his own shot.

“This has been the aim of team, to construct a team that is not overly reliant upon one player. We play for each other and that has been the cornerstone of our success over the past few games” stated Breece in a recent insider interview with 60 Minutes. The interview will be screening this Sunday titled ‘Turning the Heat Up’.

Recently the fans have been flooding the stadium with record numbers of season ticket holders coming on board to support the team.

“Attendance is up and it’s all because of our brand of basketball. We aren’t shying from the ‘big teams’. We are taking it to them. We aren’t shying away from success. We are welcoming it. We aren’t accepting the words of the naysayers. We are elevating our game” stated Breece in recent press conference.

The up-coming week will be interesting as the Heat take on:

5	(E 7^th)	S	Mia @ Bos
5	(W 3^rd)	S	SA @ Mia
5	(E 10^th)	S	Mia @ Atl
5	(E 15^th)	S	Mia @ Was

The Heat will be hoping to keep the wins coming and the seats filling during Week 5.
