Can Erik Spoelstra Win Coach of the Year, Managing Tyler Herro Expectations and More Sep 23, 2021

Show notes

Before the season kicks off next week, I take an early look at some of the issues and narratives building up before the start of camp! Erik Spoelstra has been to the Finals five times and has never won Coach of the Year. Is next season his best chance to win it?

Plus, why the national media seems to have overlooked Miami's impressive offseason before I debate if we're reading too much into Tyler Herro's apparent growth this offseason and how that will translate once the games begin.

A Tribute to Chris Bosh, Miami Heat Legend, Both On and Off the Court Sep 09, 2021

Show notes

Just days away from his enshrinement in the Basketball Hall of Fame, I talked about Chris Bosh's incredible career and his humanity off the court. Likely never appreciated to his fullest (as he's told me before) during his playing days, Chris showed incredible resilience and selflessness to transition from a high-usage scorer to a versatile defender and is now being recognized as an all-time great.

Show notes

Heat Culture is everywhere. On shirts, on Twitter, and in the hearts and minds of Miami Heat fans all over the world. But does it really exist? From a sharp marketing tool to the catch-all phrase associated with Miami's success, I look at the phenomenon and what gets ignored when people talk about why Miami has been one of the most successful teams of the past 25 years.

What If...Miami Had Accepted Boston's Draft-Day Trade to Select Justise Winslow? Sep 01, 2021

Show notes

The show continues to look back at some of the key moments in Miami Heat history, and wonder what if things had gone differently. Today, going back to 2015 and accepting Boston's reported draft-day trade offer for the 10th pick for the chance to select Justise Winslow! How would the Heat have benefitted?

And, how would the "Big 3" have looked if they had won the NBA Finals in 2011? While the team would have been vindicated immediately, would there have been other changes to The Heatles and the rest of the league?

What If...Miami Selected Devin Booker in the 2015 NBA Draft? Aug 30, 2021

Show notes

Revisiting the 2015 NBA Draft to wonder what would have happened if the Miami Heat had selected Devin Booker instead of Justise Winslow!

Winslow seemed like the right choice at the time, but would Booker have become a superstar in Miami? How would his game have changed? Does Dwyane Wade return in 2018? And what happens with the Heat over the last few seasons with Booker as a potential building block?
