The current situation for the Heat Team wasn't looking great.
They had won 15 out of 16 games in December but went on to win 21 out of 22 in January.
However, they then suffered four consecutive losses and lost five out of their next six games.
At that time, Stan was placed on a pedestal by the fans since four of the five opponents the Heat lost to were playoff teams.
Weak against the weak and strong against the strong, the Heat Team didn't resemble a championship contender at all.
Yet, the Heat Team rebounded from the bottom and pulled off an eight-game winning streak, securing victories in 11 of their next 12 games.
This time, six of their 11 conquered opponents were playoff teams.
Most recently, they had just ended their season-long five-game losing streak, following it up with a three-game winning streak.
From this data, you can see that the Heat Team didn't lack strength, but their biggest issue was inconsistency.
