A: And the Heat allowed Goran Dragic to control the pace when he was on the court, which has to happen more often. Of course, it also came with Justise Winslow and Gerald Green alongside in the starting lineup, with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh out. Basically, it showed what we've known all season -- the Heat are two teams, one that can play at pace, and one that prefers a more traditional halfcourt style. Friday was special because of the shorthanded roster, but it still left questions about the complete mix. Based on what happened Friday, playing through Dragic and Josh McRoberts has to be given more of a chance. It also will be interesting when Hassan Whiteside gets back into the mix on Saturday night. The possibilities have always been there with just about every player on this roster. Friday offered a compelling nine-man mix. Now this team has to develop similar cohesion with the entire roster. The Heat aced their pop quiz on Friday night after a shaky performance with their midterm. Still to be determined is how they handle their final. For now, you grade the victory over Atlanta on a curve, which makes sense since few saw this one coming.
