Butler passes LeBron as top-seeded Miami Heat handle Lakers Jan 24, 2022

Show notes

On an evening that Jimmy Butler broke LeBron James' record for triple-doubles as a Miami Heat player, Duncan Robinson's hot home shooting helped the Heat survive a late Los Angeles Lakers rally... and take over the top spot in the East.

Ethan Skolnick and Alex Toledo, at FTX Arena, put Butler's accomplishment, and James's comments about him, into perspective in the first part of the episode. In the second part, they get into whether this Robinson revival is real.

Miami Heat: Bam, defense dominate Blazers down stretch Jan 20, 2022

Show notes

No Kyle Lowry. No Tyler Herro. And, after an odd ejection, no Jimmy Butler.

So it was left to Bam Adebayo and the Heat defense -- led also by PJ Tucker, Gabe Vincent and Caleb Martin -- to carry the Heat home. They did, beating the Blazers.

Ethan Skolnick, Greg Sylvander and Brady Hawk discuss the win, which was a matter of aggression... and trust. This looks like a June team.

Is this Miami Heat team better than the 2020 Finalists? Jan 19, 2022

Show notes

The Miami Heat are in position to be the top team in the Eastern Conference, even after all their injuries.

But can they replicate the success of the team from two seasons back, that rallied from a fifth seed to the NBA Finals? Are they better than the squad with Jae Crowder, Kelly Olynyk and others? Are they more... fun? More fun than the Jimmy Butler, Goran Dragic bromance even?

Allana Tachauer of Feel the Heat joins Ethan Skolnick and Greg Sylvander.

Miami Heat: Bam Returns, (Different) Heat Team Wins Jan 18, 2022

Show notes

Bam Adebayo was back, and he helped the Miami Heat beat the short-bench, long-armed Toronto Raptors on Monday. But what showed most was how much deeper the Heat have become in his absence, and how that might benefit all. Ethan Skolnick and Alex Toledo were at FTX Arena, and they discuss Tyler Herro's improvements, Jimmy Butler's triple-double, and the situational depth provided by Gabe Vincent, Caleb Martin and others.

Miami Heat: The Bam Adebayo #BounceBack Jan 17, 2022

Show notes

As we anticipate the return of Bam Adebayo from a significant thumb injury, we ask this question: What are we most anxious to see?

For Brady Hawk, it's the schematic adjustments. For Greg Sylvander, it's perhaps a final shot for Duncan Robinson, now that his DHO partner is back. And for Ethan Skolnick, it's something else entirely.

Miami Heat: Butler, Herro close out Hawks at Home Jan 15, 2022

Show notes

It took a little from a lot of guys, after a disastrous defensive second quarter, but the Miami Heat ultimately prevailed again against the Atlanta Hawks to win a seventh straight home game.

Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro made the big shots late, but Omer Yurtseven, Max Strus, PJ Tucker and Caleb Martin also played big roles.

Ethan Skolnick and Greg Sylvander review a gutsy win, and look at some of the rotation issues ahead, as Bam Adebayo is closer to a return.
