Miami Heat: OT Loss to Indiana, is Kyle Lowry next? Mar 21, 2021

Show notes

The Miami Heat lost in overtime to the Indiana Pacers, as Jimmy Butler missed a late free throw in regulation and a 3-pointer at the overtime buzzer.

Butler and Bam Adebayo weren't the problem, though.

The shooters were, again.

What should the Heat do?

Ethan, Greg and Alex discuss this, and the Five Reasons Sports reporting on Kyle Lowry to Miami.

Miami Heat: The Shooting... Stinks Mar 20, 2021

Show notes

At this point, it can't be ignored.

After lighting up the NBA last season, the Miami Heat can't shoot straight.

That was an issue again in a blowout loss to the Indiana Pacers on Friday, 137-108, in which the defense collapses as well.

Ethan, Alex and Greg think it may lead to more action from the front office.
