URGENT: Miami Heat NEED to Fix This 1 Thing to Get Back in the Win Column
Miami Heat’s rebounding woes hit a breaking point as Bam Adebayo’s absence exposes a glaring vulnerability.
Wes Goldberg and David Ramil dissect the Heat’s slide, spotlighting the team’s plummeting defensive rebounding stats and the pivotal role Adebayo plays in anchoring the glass. Can Miami remain competitive while giving up second-chance points at a league-worst rate? Is average rebounding enough for a deep playoff push?
With updates on Tyler Herro’s imminent return and speculation on his fit in Miami’s new up-tempo offense, the hosts debate whether Herro’s confident attitude will translate to winning plays. Key roster questions emerge: Will Pella Larson hold onto his starting spot, or could Davion Mitchell’s surge shake up the rotation? Plus, rookie Kasparas Jakucionis takes his first steps in the G League—could he be an answer to Miami’s depth concerns? Don’t miss this sharp breakdown of the Heat’s next chapter.

Kelel ware has been rebounding just fine
They need another real center. This roster construction is bullshit
Teach Jovic and Ware on how to box out. As simple as boxing out can do wonders.✅✅✅
Wes stay on Tyler sacks
We have vlad chilling there
Pat sign a 2 way player chilling in the bench,without Bam spo should use him
We have success with 2 ways players before why not play that big for some stretch
What are y'all even talking about? Tyler fits the offense perfectly. That slowdown stuff forced him to play slower, but he'll be fine in this wide open style. Guys are just arguing about nothing. Offense will not be the problem – at least not this year. Need better rebounding and ball security.
Let Davion stay at the PG position, and give Tyler Pelle larssons spot would be a no brainer.
