Miami Heat LOSE to TANKING Jazz?! Kasparas Jakucionis Shines in Ugly Miami Loss | Locked On Heat
The Miami Heat lose to the Utah Jazz in a frustrating 115-111 loss, raising serious questions about effort, roster construction, and direction. After the Heat lose to a tanking Jazz team, we break down what went wrong, why Miami leaned too heavily on three-pointers, and whether fatigue is a real excuse.
There was one bright spot: Kasparas Jakucionis. The rookie scored 20 points and continues to build a case for a larger role. Should the Heat embrace a youth movement? Plus, listener questions on roster additions, rebounding issues, Tyler Herroโs return, and the Heatโs long-term outlook.

Why in the hello would u be shocked by anything this team does…cmon mane
I am a season ticket holder and will definitely will NOT renew my tickets next year. This team does not have anything going for them.
Bam excuses…
Heat Culture ๐๐พ
I'm very happy about the loss, actually. Every time they lose, I will take a shot of whiskey to celebrate. This is the only way, at least for a hope of getting a good pick in the draft and going from there. Otherwise, we will remain in mediocrity for years. We don't have enough talent to compete at a high level, and we neither have enough access to get a whale. And by the way, how do we get Dwyane Wade?
They need to tank this year if the get a top 4 pick thatโs big
This team a joke pat riely should go the ownership font do nothing who knows what spi doing any more
such a mid team.
Jazz used their tanking scheme and still won the game.
If they donโt care about fans opinions, why should fans keep following this mediocre product?
Thank you for acknowledging the package was shit David.
Quit tanking I like it ๐ฅน๐คฃ
Are we really in denial why are we shocked this team isnโt good
The reward of the trade dealine is heating up! ๐๐ ๐
Is Spo ever gonna call out Jovic even ONCE??, for his terrible performances like he did to Ware multiple times.
This is the second time i can remember that they lost to reserve s.
The problem is this franchise has put spo on a pedestal and basically given him 100% immunity to anything being his fault. Loyalty over logic is destroying this franchise. How many more examples do we need before someone upstairs sees reality?
Heat cannit stop the driving bigs bec of small line up and unrested bam. Rely on just throwing 3s not good.
If the Heat cannot win with these players why would Milwaukee think they can win with them
Here Iโll be a Heat podcaster: โitโs ok we lost & are going nowhere. Bam tried really hard. He wasnโt good but he tried. Yay Bam! So if you want to blame anyone make sure itโs never Bam.โ
What a sad little team
Reason the Heat canโt trade no one wants these flogs that is including Bam and Herro damaged goods why would u take them what they have been showing this season other teams staying clear rightly so
Nikola Jovic – most consistent heat player this season. Tonight he played 17 minutes
