Positive Miami Heat Surprises: Ethan, Alf, Alex, Zach Nov 17, 2019

Show notes

After another home win, this time against the busted up New Orleans Pelicans, the Miami Heat now stand at 9-3, good for second in the Eastern Conference, (still ahead of the Bucks and Sixers). Kendrick Nunn had another game where he led the team in scoring, while the team as a whole continued to look very cohesive on the floor on both ends.

Since we had 4 guys credentialed at the game, we did things a little different today. Ethan Skolnick asked Alex Toledo, Alphonse Sidney and Zach Buckley individually, what has been the team's most surprising development through these first 12 games?

Miami Heat's Bam Adebayo Among East's Best Bigs (Cavs recap) Nov 15, 2019

Show notes

The Heat continue to beat up on bad teams despite missing multiple bodies, (although the Cavs had the 17th best Net Rating headed into this game). Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo continue to spearhead the effort on both ends. Kendrick Nunn is back to feeling himself after a good shooting game.

Ethan Skolnick and Alphonse Sidney (@Alf954) talk about the game, the rotation problems they will have going forward when they get back Justise Winslow, Derrick Jones Jr., James Johnson (and Dion too), as well as going through how good they are at the moment.

Butler, Bam lead Heat to win vs. Pistons Nov 13, 2019

Show notes

Ethan J. Skolnick and Alex Toledo discuss the Heat's easy enough win in Miami. Winning games they're supposed to isn't something they've been used to for a few years now. Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo continued to show that they're the 2 most impactful players on this team while Goran had another effective game off the bench.

Miami Heat - Jimmy Butler's Debut + Herro Breakout Oct 30, 2019

Show notes

Jimmy Butler made his debut for the Heat tonight and took home the W, as we all expected. Weirdly enough, neither him or Goran Dragic (both finished with 21 points) were the leading scorers tonight. It was Tyler Herro, who broke multiple rookie scoring records for the Heat, finishing with 29 points and 16 free throw attempts, (41 FTA between him, Butler and Bam).

Ethan J. Skolnick and Alex Toledo recap the game and go over the Bucket Bros' (check out our shirts on fivereasonssports.com) impact as well as their surprisingly good offense, the turnovers, and the rotation going forward.
