In light of Wednesday's 121-95 loss in Milwaukee, it is obvious this is not a roster than can match high-scoring opponents basket for basket. With Wednesday's loss, the Heat fell to 0-7 against the league's top 10 in offense, with two losses to Denver and single losses to Phoenix, Washington, San Antonio, Chicago, and, now, Milwaukee. The pressure figures to remain acute, with the next three opponents -- the Warriors, Lakers and Bulls -- all in that top 10. The next challenge is Saturday at home against Golden State's Baron Davis, Jason Richardson, Monta Ellis, Andris Biedrins and Mike Dunleavy. The Warriors lead the league in fastbreak points, ahead of Denver and Washington, teams that are 3-0 against the Heat. By contrast, the Heat is 4-2 against the league's six lowest-scoring teams other than itself. As uneven as the overall record is, the inability to play at pace tells an even more telling story. The Heat is 1-11 when allowing 100 points, but 10-3 when limiting the opposition to double digits. Because of that, coach Pat Riley could have the Heat returning to his Heat roots, when the team thrived in the late '90s by playing with scores in the 80s and 90s. Ooh, won't that be fun? Of course, there is another option -- adding a scorer. Riley clearly pressed hard for Allen Iverson. But at this point, even a Jeff McInnis might help, or, if Philadelphia is looking to fast-track its lust for cap space, a bid for Andre Miller.</div> Source
