I feel that some people overrate the importance of SV% and GAA when both stats are clearly heavily influenced by the team. Quality of shots, where the shots come from, how much time you spend in the defensive zone all can contribute to a lower SV%. As was said above, Irving seemed to be the Heat's MVP. Looks like he developed quite well last season and I think any talk of Ortio having passed him is extremely premature.
