What happened: Doc Rivers said Giannis Antetokounmpo's downhill pace can make him difficult to coach and that he often forces plays despite his passing ability. Rivers believes playing for the Heat could help Antetokounmpo put more emphasis on execution.

Why it matters: The critique puts attention on how Miami runs its offense around Antetokounmpo. More consistent possessions could help the Heat turn his individual production into wins.

What to watch: Miami's upcoming games will offer a measure of whether its offense becomes more consistent with Antetokounmpo.
