Tyler Herro & Bam Adebayo are back -- what changes for Miami Heat? Dec 18, 2023

At last, the Miami Heat will be nearly whole on Monday night, as the Minnesota Timberwolves visit. They will get two of their stars back, in Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo. Adebayo figures to fit seamlessly, but much has changed on the wings and in the backcourt since Herro went out more than five weeks ago. Ethan, Greg, Alex and Brady discuss how the Heat will work him back in, in terms of role and responsibility, and how he will fit with the emerging Jaime Jaquez Jr., among others.

Miami Heat: Shredded by Bulls guards, fall to 14-11 Dec 15, 2023

The Miami Heat played without Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro and Haywood Highsmith again -- and didn't have Josh Richardson either. But they should have had enough to beat the Bulls. Instead they got off to a 33-8 deficit, and couldn't climb all the way back. Ethan and Greg discuss the disappointing point-of-attack defense, Jimmy Butler's blase performance, Jaime Jaquez's continued growth and more.

Heat Celtics Game 3: Defining Win for Bam and Miami May 22, 2022

That one will be remembered. Without Jimmy Butler for the second half, and with PJ Tucker and Kyle Lowry coming off injuries, the Miami Heat somehow weathered a Celtics comeback -- largely due to one of the most impressive performances of Bam Adebayo's career.

Now, with the Heat up 2-1 in the Eastern Conference Finals, Ethan Skolnick, Brady Hawk and Greg Sylvander explain how it happened, and what's next for Game 4.

Miami Heat: Why are Herro & Bam shrinking on offense May 20, 2022

There's no way around it.

Jimmy Butler needs help.

He had it in the regular season, but he's not getting it now, especially from the expected bridges to the next Miami Heat era, Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo.

Why? Scheme? Stage? Rotation? And what's the implication for the future?

Ethan Skolnick, Greg Sylvander, Alex Toledo and Brady Hawk discuss.

Miami Heat: Tyler Herro entering Season 3 Aug 19, 2021

After recent episodes focusing on the newcomers to the Miami Heat roster, the hosts (Ethan, Greg, Alex) turn their attention to one of the more important holdovers, Tyler Herro.

Perhaps a victim of expectations and circumstances in his second season, Herro has been working out differently entering his third.

How will his role change with Kyle Lowry on board? Can he lead the bench unit without Goran Dragic around? And can he earn a core spot in the Heat future, rather than being seen as a "chip" for another major acquisition?

Miami Heat: Do Fans Overvalue, or Undervalue, Their Own? Jul 20, 2021

A more philosophical debate in today's episode:

Last season, Heat fans were accused of overvaluing the likes of Tyler Herro and KZ Okpala and Precious Achiuwa when it came to trade conversations.

Now, though, it seems they may be undervaluing Duncan Robinson and Kendrick Nunn compared to how fans of other teams see them.

Do most Heat fans overvalue or undervalue their own?

Ariel Attias (Full Court Press) joins Ethan, Greg and Alex.

How often can Miami expect this from their 34-year-old sixth man?

And what's happened to Precious Achiuwa in the rotation?

Ethan and Greg discuss, then Ethan is tested by Eric Brown (FiveReasonsRealtor.com) in their weekly Value Plays segment.

Miami Heat: Olynyk, Butler big in win, but what's with the shooting? Mar 12, 2021

The Miami Heat escaped against Nik Vucevic and the G-League version of the Orlando Magic to get to 19-18 on the season.

Tonight's topics for Ethan, Greg and Alex, other than the continued greatness of Jimmy Butler:

-- Did tonight show how much the Heat need to keep and supplement Kelly Olynyk, rather than trade him?

-- Why do the Heat continue to struggle so much from deep?

Miami Heat: Waiting for the Bam Takeover Mar 03, 2021

The Miami Heat's six-game win streak ended in a humbling loss to the Atlanta Hawks, with just 14 fourth quarter points, as Jimmy Butler missed another game.

While many players were to blame, Ethan Skolnick and Greg Sylvander focus on Bam Adebayo, who took just eight shots.

Why is he not taking over offensively when Miami needs it? Is it scheme or mindset?

There's no excusing this one. Facing a team without four starters, including Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the Miami Heat couldn't guard anyone and fell to 11-16 on the season.

Ethan Skolnick is joined by Five Reasons Sports contributors (and Clutch Corner hosts) Adam Borai and Michael Christian to chart the course from here, if there is one. That includes such previously unappealing scenarios such as taking a step back for the future -- maybe even trading Goran Dragic for a first round pick.

The Miami Heat's 2019-20 Forever Bubble Season Oct 21, 2020

It didn't end in an NBA title but, by most Miami Heat fans, 2019-20 will never be forgotten.

Few seasons in local sports history have had the impact on the community that this one did, even though no one could watch the playoffs in person.

Ethan Skolnick and Alphonse Sidney put the Bubble season in perspective, through the eyes of listeners and Twitter followers, and the response to one @5ReasonsSports tweet: "For many, the Miami Heat were about the only good thing about 2020."

Miami Heat: Does DeMar DeRozan fit? Oct 20, 2020

You'd think that a former All-Star, who just had one of his best statistical seasons, would be appealing to Miami Heat fans. But many don't think he's a fit, if the San Antonio Spurs decide to move him this offseason.

Ethan Skolnick, Greg Sylvander and Nekias Duncan (of BasketballNews.com) discuss whether this is a reasonable option in a trade, what it would take, and how he would work with Jimmy Butler and others on the Heat.

Miami Heat offseason: A J-Rich reunion? Oct 19, 2020

Miami has an eye on new whales in 2021, but could it bring in an old face sooner?

Josh Richardson didn't love his Philadelphia experience, and the 76ers may be looking to move money. Richardson wasn't ideal as a first option for the Heat, but as a third or fourth or fifth who can defend guards, a real team weakness?

Ethan Skolnick, Alex Toledo and Nekias Duncan (BasketballNews.com) discuss the idea from all sides -- and make some other suggestions of defensive guards who could come cheaper.

Miami Heat: Giannis, Bam, Contention Timeline Oct 15, 2020

As the NBA still decides on its offseason transaction schedule, Ethan, Alf and Greg discuss one of the key things to watch:

Does Bam Adebayo ask to sign an extension now?

If so, that has ramifications on the pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Should the Heat budge if so? How does Giannis' agent come into play? And, in general, should the Heat act like a team that just reached the NBA Finals, or is earlier in its process?

Miami Heat: Does Victor Oladipo make sense? Oct 14, 2020

As attention turns to the Miami Heat offseason, one possible, attainable target is Victor Oladipo, who doesn't seem happy with the Indiana Pacers.

Does he make sense as a one-year option for the Heat? Is he totally healthy? What should the Heat give up? What should they hold back?

Ethan and Alex discuss.

The game was there for the Heat, and then it wasn't.

The Lakers won Game 4, 102-96, stifling the Heat offense by using a different (Anthony Davis centric) strategy on Jimmy Butler. Now it's 3-1 in the NBA Finals.

What happened, and what can the Heat fix for Game 5 on Friday?

Ethan, Greg and Alex talk about Bam's return, Butler's passiveness, Dragic's absence, KCP and Rondo's contributions and more. Oh, and LeBron is one win from his fourth title.

Miami Heat: Jimmy Butler, Goran Dragic Take Game 1 Sep 01, 2020

-- Goran Dragic's continued excellence

Miami Heat: John Crotty analyzes Heat players (plus Iguodala, Spoelstra on social justice) Aug 27, 2020

Prior to the Milwaukee Bucks choosing not to play Wednesday in a social justice protest -- and the NBA suspending the rest of the day's schedule -- Ethan Skolnick and Alex Toledo spoke to Fox Sports Sun analyst and former NBA point guard John Crotty about the key players on the current team, while mixing in some Zo-era nostalgia.

As a bonus, we include the day's Zoom calls with Erik Spoelstra and Andre Iguodala, which were conducted prior to the Bucks' action but were on a similar theme. Iguodala is the vice president of the NBA Players Association and would be active in the night's meetings.

Miami Heat: Dragic, Bam Sweep Pacers; Giannis up next Aug 25, 2020

The Miami Heat, picked by most national media members to be fighting for a playoff spot this season, have swept the Indiana Pacers, 4-0 -- behind another great closing push from Goran Dragic and dynamic all-around play from Bam Adebayo. And they did it on a night when Jimmy Butler was limited by a shoulder injury.

Ethan Skolnick, Greg Sylvander and Alex Toledo put the series in perspective, thinking back to the objectives in training camp. And they project forward to a likely second round matchup with free agent target (and likely 2-time MVP) Giannis Antetokounmpo. What is the most important factor in beating the Milwaukee Bucks?
