Miami Heat: Routing Indiana Pacers, TJ Warren in Playoff Prelude Aug 11, 2020

Show notes

This is the team Erik Spoelstra wanted to see.

The Miami Heat played a dominant second half, getting contributions from Jimmy Butler, Derrick Jones Jr, Duncan Robinson and more in a big win that likely secures a 4th or 5th seed and serves as a prelude to an upcoming playoff series with the Indiana Pacers.

Notable: they held bubble star TJ Warren in check, and Goran Dragic was effective in a surprise start.

Hosts Ethan, Alex, Alf and Greg analyze it all.

Ethan, Greg, Alex and Alf appear on YouTube for #FloorsYours, to decide how much this means -- and mostly, whether it's time to move Tyler Herro ahead of Kendrick Nunn.
