Something’s DIFFERENT About The Miami Heat This Year! w/ Couper Moorhead
We have a fun episode of The Dunker Spot coming your way!
Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones are joined by Couper Moorhead (HEAT.com, After The Buzzer podcast) to talk all things Miami Heat. They explore Miami’s drastic shift offensively, their still-elite defense (and zone) usage, and bring much-needed nuance to the conversations surrounding Bam Adebayo, Kel’el Ware, Tyler Herro and more.
After that, Steve and Nekias discuss the imminent return of Jayson Tatum. They get into what he adds to the fold, what they’ll be looking for in his debut, and the (annoying) conversations around his return.
Finally, the guys give a salute to Mist BC for winning this year’s Unrivaled championship. In light of the game ending with a made free throw, they also discuss 1) whether that should be allowed moving forward and 2) potential tweaks in the case that it isn’t.

Miami Heat episode!!!
That's our guy 🔥
Let's go Heat!
Having kids is inmoral, your kids will grow up in dystopia hell, just so you can be a bit less miserable while you age
YALL GOT COUP ON A POD????
WARE CAN BE WEMBY WITH FOOT WORK
He could have been that if he had worked on it before Wemby got here
He is still young and can catch up quickly. He is not far behind
Heat still mid as hell. Ware potential is only bright spot. Even though I like the rookie
Ware is not finish product, he is a developement product and as such, he hss to be tested in real life situation. Play time for him, in the great, the good and the bad performances. Play Time!!!!
Steve "back and forth" Jones jr.
