Miami Heat: Dragic Rises in Win w Bulls (Plus Precious, Value Plays) Mar 13, 2021

Show notes

The Heat needed a scorer to help them break out of a funk against the Chicago Bulls, and Goran Dragic stepped up. The Heat veteran scored 25 points, all in the second half, as Miami pushed to 19-17 on the season.

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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?

Miami Heat: Assessing the Adversity Narrative Feb 26, 2021

Show notes

The Miami Heat had a tough start to the season, but are now 15-17 and rising in the East.

ESPN and other national outlets, however, didn't seem to give the Heat the same "pass" as other teams have gotten, like the Lakers and Celtics, for their struggles.

Ethan Skolnick, Greg Sylvander and Alex Toledo compare what Miami has gone through to other contenders. Have they really had it worse?
