Will Miami Heat Shock ESPN, World? (Plus Herro, Shaq, Wade, more) Jul 16, 2020

Show notes

Not many give the Miami Heat a chance to get to the Eastern Conference Finals, so it's not stunning that an ESPN statistical analysis gave them no chance at all.

Where would an ECF appearance rank among franchise achievements?

Also, the latest from Tyler Herro, memories of Shaquille O'Neal's arrival, surprises in Erik Spoelstra's rotation and thoughts on Dwyane Wade's Twitter mistake.

Hosted by Ethan J. Skolnick, Alex Toledo and Greg Sylvander.

Miami Heat: Breaking down Jimmy Butler and Derrick Jones Jr. Jul 15, 2020

Show notes

The Heat continued with their Zoom media sessions in Orlando, with Jimmy Butler and Derrick Jones Jr. speaking to reporters for the first time since arriving in the bubble.

Butler discussed his plans for social justice (no name on the back of the jersey), his team's readiness and more, and so Nekias Duncan and Alphonse Sidney joined Ethan J. Skolnick to discuss all of what Butler said -- and what he needs to do once the season resumes as Miami's leader.

And now that Jones is over Coronavirus, what will his role be?

Also, an appearance by Gabe Gonzalez of Gonzalez & Tybor (BankruptcyIsGoodForYou.com) to discuss where this Heat team fits among favorites.

A double episode....

-- First, Ethan J. Skolnick, Alex Toledo and Alphonse Sidney discuss the elite 2-guards who might be available to the Miami Heat at some point, including bubble no-shows Bradley Beal and Victor Oladipo and Jazz young All-Star Donovan Mitchell. Can Tyler Herro reach their levels at any point?

Plus, Fusaro (who covers the Rockets and has ties to Jimmy Butler) talks about the Rockets and Heat.

Miami Heat: The Day Dwyane Wade Left... and everything after Jul 07, 2020

Show notes

On the 4-year anniversary of the decision that rocked "Heat Nation," we discuss why Dwyane Wade left for the Chicago Bulls... but also whether it worked out best for everyone involved.

Ethan J. Skolnick reveals more backstory about what led to Wade leaving, and Alex Toledo and Alphonse Sidney weigh in on what might have happened had he stayed, and what might not have happened (Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, etc.) if he hadn't left. Maybe we were all wrong at the time.
