Miami Heat: The 5 Most Memorable Seasons Jul 01, 2020

Show notes

The Miami Heat have enjoyed plenty of success since their inaugural season of 1988.

But all of those seasons, which were the most memorable? Any from the early years? The Alonzo Mourning years? The start of Dwyane Wade's career? The 3 championships, one with Shaquille O'Neal and two with LeBron James? And where did this season with Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo rank?

Ethan J. Skolnick is joined by Alphonse Sidney and Greg Sylvander to debate the list.

Show notes

Did the Miami Heat do the right thing?

Ethan J. Skolnick, Alex Toledo and Alphonse Sidney look back at the major transaction of the season, when the Heat sent Justise Winslow (plus the contracts of Dion Waiters and James Johnson) away for Andre Iguodala, Jae Crowder and Solomon Hill.

Was it the right move in retrospect? How is it affected by Covid-19? And what can be expected from Iguodala and Crowder in the playoffs, once the season resumes?

Miami Heat: Was Tyler Herro the right pick? Revisiting 2019 draft. Jun 22, 2020

Show notes

One year after the unpopular choice of Tyler Herro by the Miami Heat, hosts Ethan J. Skolnick and Alex Toledo discuss the 20-year-old guard who has taken South Florida by storm.

Where would Herro go in a re-draft? Of course, Zion and Ja go 1-2? But should the Heat have taken Sekou at No. 13? Kevin Porter Jr.? Brandon Clarke? Is Herro a better long-term option than RJ Barrett, who went 10 picks higher? What about Coby White?

The NBA, the Miami Heat, Jimmy Buckets & the Bubble Jun 17, 2020

Show notes

The plans are out. We now know where players will stay, how their health will be regulated, how they will entertain themselves, who they can bring, and how often they will eat.

But how will the Miami Heat in particular handle the NBA's Orlando bubble when the season resumes?

We think it will be well, and we explain why, running down a list of the NBA's best leaders, like LeBron James, Giannis and Chris Paul and where Jimmy Butler fits.

Discussion: NBA Player Concerns About the Return Jun 15, 2020

Show notes

With the NBA season set to resume in Orlando on July 31st, everything is now again in doubt as a sizable group of players (reportedly led by Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving) held a conference call to discuss their concerns about the plan, in light of social unrest in the country, COVID-19 and the strict nature of the NBA plan.

Alphonse Sidney and Alex Toledo join Ethan J. Skolnick to discuss those concerns, Irving as a "messenger" and whether they believe a season should and will be played. And they don't agree on everything.
