A: And now comes the real question with one game down and 81 to go: Can a team sustain at that pace for an entire regular season in the absence of a definitive perimeter go-to scorer? And perhaps with a deep enough rotation the Heat can. It was interesting because even after Wednesday's game in Orlando, Erik Spoelstra said he did not intend to play Tyler Johnson for 28 minutes, that he believes he can get more out of Tyler in a short burst. For the most part, the minutes were not overwhelming for anyone in Wednesday's nine-man rotation, but this is before the back-to-backs begin, with plenty of air in the early-season schedule. So if Josh Richardson and Josh McRoberts are factored in, perhaps the relentlessness can continue. The Heat certainly showed that possibility with the tag team at center of Hassan Whiteside and Willie Reed. But this likely is what it is going to have to be with a quarter of your salary cap sidelined (Chris Bosh) and your go-to player for the previous 13 seasons (Dwyane Wade) gone. They sustained for one game. Now it's on to the 81 that follow.
