*(Recorded before win against Atlanta Hawks)*
The Miami Heat are back in action in Atlanta tonight, now at 15-15. With the season starting to go sideways, Ethan Skolnick and Greg Sylvander discuss whether Miami should look to make a move, change their style or do anything else to make this season matter again.

Bam is available for today ?
Jovic was the “ Anchor “ of the Pace 😊
The best our defense has looked and your DPOY didn't play. Everything about Bam is Overhyped
Bam is a Max Role-player. I know us being 5 & 2 without Bam is not allowed to be talked about by Heat podcasters and media. That heat is for Tyler.
The Fix is to Trade Bam for young talent and picks or Trade Bam in a Gannis package.
I don't care who, just as long as somebody comes for him. Bam would be a fourth option on OKC & SPURS. He's the 4th option with us and we're play-in team.
The timing of this podcast was bad they've already played the Hawks they're playing the Pacers tonight
The first 15 games everyone thought this team was above average. 15 games after that its a different tone. Thus team is slightly better than .500, a 6th seed at best. There is no top talent on this team. OkC or the Spurs would absolutely destroy this team in a 7 game series. You can't go far in this or any league in the playoffs without top talent and Miami doesn't have that.
"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!" – Heat fans realising we're right back in the play-in again.
Literally the worse place to be. It screams no direction, not good enough to be a true contender and not "ethically tanking" well enough to get in or near the lottery. I hate mid.
Celtics lost to the Heat in the ECF, changed their team and won a chip. They have since torn down the team and are still better than the Heat. Any other organization would make changes in the front office if the biggest rival has proven to be superior. Not the Heat though – they like their squad with Bam and Tyler which is a road to mediocrity. The front office is clueless.
The Heat have done a nice job in drafting players in the middle of the first round just outside the lottery, they’ve built their chore role players with a possible star in the making with Ware, but until they follow the OKC/ San Antonio model of going through the lottery in order to acquire true top talent, they will continue to be middle of the pack
Jovic and Kas have to start getting minutes every game. The ball moves so much better on offense. I know they are both young and unplayable at times, but you gotta let them have their growing pains. You can tell Spo is on them about the turnovers and is trying to get them to play to their strength.
No.. next question
let’s trade for brook lopez
OKC needs shooting & already has a great defense… the last thing they would ever want is Bam who is $50 mill for the next 5 years and isn’t a great 3pt shooter & is an undersized center😂😂😂😂. Greg clearly doesn’t watch any NBA team accept the Heat😂😂😂
