Jimmy Butler snubbed + Miami Heat, Clippers preview Jan 24, 2020

NBA players really don't like Jimmy Butler much. Their vote made sure that Butler, who has helped turn the Miami Heat around, was not named a starter for the NBA All-Star Game.

Ethan J. Skolnick and Alphonse Sidney discuss, while handicapping Bam Adebayo's chances to eventually join Butler as a reserve.

Also, a preview of the big Miami Heat-Los Angeles Clippers matchup.

Miami Heat: Another shouldn't-have-happened OT win at home Jan 23, 2020

Show notes

Ethan J. Skolnick is joined by Alex Toledo for a quick discussion on Heat-Wizards, a game in which the Heat unsurprisingly gave up a big lead that inevitably led to an overtime period, which also means another win. We talk about the performance, Tyler Herro's outpouring (7 threes), a couple of Bam nuggets and..... who plays first: Justise, Dion, KZ Okpala, or Gabe Vincent?

Miami Heat: Kendrick Nunn's Importance + Covington vs. Winslow + Beal Jan 17, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, Ethan J. Skolnick is back with Alphonse Sidney and Alex Toledo to sit down and talk about how consistently important Kendrick Nunn has been to this season's Heat squad, after learning that we're apparently anti-Nunn.

Robert Covington might be up for grabs via trade as the Minnesota T-Wolves seek out a starting point guard, so we brainstorm and talk through a Justise Winslow for Robert Covington swap.

We also react to Bradley Beal being tired of losing and subsequently telling media that there needs to be a culture skake-up by re-hashing the debate: How much would you give up for him if you're the Heat when Beal is eligible for trade this summer?
