Miami Heat FIGHTING to Escape Play-In | Bam & Ware Combo | Does Front Office Need More Creativity?
The Miami Heat face a pivotal stretch as the NBA season enters its final games. Can Erik Spoelstra’s squad regain consistency and escape “play-inville” for a guaranteed playoff spot? Brendan Tobin joins Wes Goldberg for the temperature check on the other side of the All-Star break.
They discuss the impact of a quiet trade deadline, expectations for young players such as Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Pelle Larsson, and the balance between development and playoff ambitions. They debate front office creativity, discuss Giannis Antetokounmpo’s flirtation with Miami and who should get the last sushi roll.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 all they know is play in, then humiliation. They are the ONLY team trying to win but tanking at the same time. 😂 I been burned to many times with this team. I hope for the best but I expect the worst. Surprise me PLEASE
Miami heat forgot that the draft is what got them all thems chips 🏆 in the first place. If it wasnt for Dwade there wouldnt be a Shaq, and it wouldnt be a big 3. If there was no play in at the end of the day they wouldnt be in the playoffs at all. Soon as they realize they need a top 5 pick they will be back in contention. They will never get back there assuming in this day and age they can get what they want from trades with players no team wants or in free agency where nobody “really” wants to play with the players the miami heat currenly have. Every media outlet for miami hypes up “everybody wants to play with Bam. If that was the case someone would have already came by now. No player on this team has a Dwade marketability or a voice strong enough to attract other players to even want to come there. Lets be honest for once
Ready for what the 2nd half of the season brings.Ready for Tyler to come back.Miss Pelle.If it's another play in run time to tear it down.Like all the players and will miss them but it's time.Ready for Kas and the future.We got 2 real Heat players in Kas and Pelle.Effort energy and tough.In the past we was tough and hated.We kinda soft now.Like Tyler and Norm but they play no defense and are hunted.We already pay a guy 50 mill for limited offense.Cant give either of them 30 million plus for 1 way basketball.I love Bam but if I can get a Jaren Jackson deal out of him I would and I would also look to showcase Kel el for the rest of the year and try to use him to trade up in draft.Too inconsistent too soft too ho hum.Imagine Zo with his size and athleticism…….MVP.30 20 5 Blocks easy with Zo's motor.I know I'm old but 2020's basketball compared to the 90's is a joke competition wise.They don't compete like they used too and payed so much more.Very disrespectful to the guys who made this possible.Lets go HEAT!!!!
I love the Heat…But we have a tanking roster with championships aspirations😅
