Miami Heat: Jimmy Butler pulls out rematch Feb 10, 2021

Jimmy Butler was brilliant Tuesday night against the New York Knicks, and it was just barely enough for a 98-96 Miami Heat win.

What does that say about where the team is, and where it's going?

Ethan Skolnick, Alex Toledo and Greg Sylvander look back at Tuesday's game, and ahead to the tough Western Conference swing.

Miami Heat: Falling Apart vs. Hornets Feb 02, 2021

Show notes

The Heat were finally close to whole Monday night, and rallied to take a 10-point lead late, before blowing all of it with a series of bad decisions and slow closeouts. So, now what, after Malik Monk scored 36 against them, and Tyler Herro and Goran Dragic struggled, and Miami's hole at the four spot was again evident? Ethan Skolnick, Alex Toledo and Greg Sylvander discuss whether it's time, after 20 games, to make a move. Can Miami win with its current roster?

Miami Heat: Can they find an identity without trade? Feb 01, 2021

Show notes

The Miami Heat finally ended their losing streak after Jimmy Butler returned, but there are still questions.

The biggest is this: Can they find an identity with the players on the current roster? And what is it? Defense? Shooting? Certainly it's not rebounding.

Ethan Skolnick, Greg Sylvander and Royal Shepherd evaluate Erik Spoelstra's options... and debate whether he has enough good ones to get the Heat's game where he wants it.

Miami Heat: Assessing Young Players in Bad Loss to Clippers Jan 29, 2021

Show notes

No Kawhi Leonard. No Paul George.

The Los Angeles Clippers beat the Miami Heat anyway.

Miami is still shorthanded also, relying heavily on young players until Jimmy Butler and Goran Dragic and others return.

Ethan Skolnick, Alex Toledo and Johnathan Ramlakhan look at the good and bad of Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, Kendrick Nunn, Precious Achiuwa, Gabe Vincent, KZ Okpala and Max Strus.
