The Miami Heat are 4-2 since the beginning of January, which, of course, is a month that has helped the team correct their woes and steer their ship. At the end of 2014, it was unclear whether the Heat were going to make the playoffs. Chris Bosh had suffered an injury, and as much as Dwyane Wade tried, Miami neither had the talent nor the opportunities to win many games.

Now, the year is heading towards the end of the first month, and surprises have popped up within Miami.

It is worth pointing out these surprises because they are what needs to be looked at going forward. This is not to say that there hasn’t been any other contributions, or important play. Of course, Chris Andersen and Wade have had their moments. But, Wade has been injured recently, and this slideshow will specifically deal with the last six games that Miami has played.
