Miami Heat: What is Tyler Herro's best role when he returns? Nov 18, 2022

Show notes

Tyler Herro continues to miss time with a sprained ankle, under odd circumstances. And the fit in the starting lineup was a little awkward when he was playing. So what happens when he returns? Is it best that he still starts? Or should Max Strus stay where he is? And how do Caleb Martin and Nikola Jovic factor in? Ethan Skolnick and Brady Hawk discuss.

Also, Nelson Salomon of C-ArmStaffing.com joins for The Sponsor's Corner.

Miami Heat: Why can't they shoot straight? Nov 10, 2022

Show notes

After torching the NBA for most of last season, the Miami Heat went cold during much of the playoffs, and they've started this season even worse. They've been especially inefficient on wide open shots from deep. Why? Can you fault the role players? Or is this more on Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro and Kyle Lowry to get them out of the rut? Ethan, Brady and Greg discuss.
