A: Of course the Heat lack a closer, because they lack an All-Star. But so did the Kings, unless you want to count on Rudy Gay, which the Grizzlies and Raptors did not appear to want to do. So you experiment, which is what Erik Spoelstra did at the close of regulation against Sacramento. Was Dion Waiters dribbling out most of the clock and hoisting a wayward 20-foot step-back jumper the shot of choice from Spoelstra? Doubt it. But that's what you have to do, see what works, see what doesn't. And let's be honest, there were plenty of times when Wade dribbled out the clock and shot a jumper. Of course there also were many, many times when Wade produced the desired result. The preference here would be Goran Dragic in that situation. But, for whatever reason, Dragic seems too deferential. I believe the next time, depending, of course, on the matchups, you consider Goran. But you are correct, without a take-charge scorer, as the Heat had even the past two seasons with Wade and Chris Bosh, the equation and ability to close out a game becomes more difficult.
