Locked On Heat’s HEATSGIVING — Starting Lineup Questions, Tyler Herro’s Return, Early Team MVP
Locked On Heat Thanksgiving special: Miami Heat superlatives, MVPs, key storylines, and what fans should be thankful for this NBA season.
Miami Heat light up the NBA with a revamped offensive system and standout performances from rising stars. Is this the most entertaining Heat team in years? From constant starting lineup changes to Tyler Herro’s highly anticipated return and Norm Powell’s explosive scoring, Wes Goldberg and David Ramil debate which players deserve this season’s “Turkey Leg” and “Mashed Potatoes” superlatives. Jaime Jaquez Jr., Bam Adebayo, and Davion Mitchell’s evolving roles spark conversation about reliability, underappreciation, and what’s still missing. Key topics include Miami Heat’s depth, Erik Spoelstra’s tactical innovations, and the ongoing impact of injuries and trade rumors.

ROAD to 18K SUBSCRIBERS.
We still haven’t played the Washington’s, the Brooklyn’s, or the Indiana’s of the world, think about that for a second!! We have a chance to stack up a lot of W’s!!! Let’s go Heat!!!
Good job guys! I'm thankful for you and the show!
I think this is a 50 win team
If we can flip Terry for AD that’d be a steal. Doubt it happen but Dallas needs to rebuild around Coop. Everyone called me crazy for saying we’d draft Kas and we’d be a top 5 seed. Let’s see if I’m crazy lol
Niko, Tyler, Wiggins and two 1st round picks for Giannis. He looked to be enjoying the fan hitting the half court shot🙌
Still waiting for the herro apologies he came back better than he left
😂😂😂😂😂lmao I had a daughter this yea…She's no2 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😜😜😜 for 🏀 psykos
Cranberry sauce is gross 😅
BAM – WARE – POWELL – HERRO – are your must starters/closers – Everything else is based on matchups or how the game is progressing
Let spo cook up recipes to make every thing cook… Its only right he try different lineups..Mix and Match that's what it is #period..
Please coach Spo stop starting 3 guards, a wing at pf and Bam at center. 🙏 I beg you basketball God's scare Spo away from small ball. 🙏
Herro, Powell, Wiggins, Bam and Ware should be the starting 5. Mitchell, Jaime, Jovic, are your 1st 3 off the bench. How hard is this.
Sit Wiggins and start Ware with Davion Tyler Norm and Bam
My favorite story line is, "How much (more) Kelel improves and how long will it be until Spo plays him 34-minutes a game? Played enough minutes this season Ware can be the superstar you have so longed for. Got another thought, Ware is really a power forward more than a true center. Get another center and you could have have a great rotation between Bam, Ware and new guy. Ware is the wild card. He is just now getting enough experience to dominate more and more.
Question for anyone, if you swapped out Tyler with Norm last year while still playing under the old offense, is there a realistic expectation that the end result against the cavs would have been any different last season?
Wes loves his sound board to much look at that shit eating grin 5:30
David and I had the same players in mind
Dang. He laid it on Jovic and deservedly so🤷🏾♂️
Normal Powell is playing with a chip on his shoulders because of how the Clippers treated him. I bet you the Clippers now wished they would have let Kawhi Leonard go and instead of Norman. When Kawhi was out last season with injuries, Normal kept them afloat. He was a scoring machine. They were very competitive with other teams in the west. You saw how he lit us up last season when we played the Clippers. Now, that he is in Miami, we are now competing for the top of the eastern conference while the struggling Clippers are 12th in the west with a frustrated head coach. I bet if they could do this all over again they would have kept and paid Normal Powell his money and subsequently found a way to move on from the oft injured Kawhi Leonard. I believe as long as he continues to play the way he is playing, Miami will extend him with a reasonable contract. From what I am hearing, he is not necessarily looking for a max contract. He is just looking for a reasonable contract, which I believe the Heat will give to him. The question still remains though, will the Heat extend Tyler Hero or trade him?
NP has been the team MVP so far. Keep it up, Norm!
Let’s go David give that man his recognition Norman Powell is the reason why the heat are where they’re at today
Coach Spoelstra is proving himself worthy to lead USA basketball . His transformation of Jamie Jaquez into a mini Gannis is the catalyst for the team success , so far .
We've been on a winning streak plus we won before Thanksgiving 🔥🏀🔥🏀🔥
