REACTION: Miami Heat Win SIXTH STRAIGHT | New Starting Lineup REVEALED | Miami Heat Podcast
Miami Heat grind out sixth straight win despite offensive struggles and a new starting lineup—can they take home the NBA Cup?
Wes Goldberg and David Ramil break down the Heat’s hard-fought victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, spotlighting Tyler Herro’s standout performance, Kel’el Ware’s energetic minutes off the bench, and the impact of a fully healthy rotation for the first time this season. With Bam Adebayo anchoring the frontcourt and Andrew Wiggins returning to the lineup, the debate heats up over Miami’s evolving starting five and which lineup best unlocks their explosive pace.
Key discussion points include Miami’s cold three-point shooting, ongoing rotation experiments under Erik Spoelstra, and how the team’s versatility could be the secret weapon in knockout stage scenarios. Will Norm Powell overcome injury woes and regain his form alongside Herro? Plus, the hosts provide expert insight on Miami’s chances in the NBA Cup and what the win streak means for the season’s trajectory.

Last season proved one thing: this offense doesn't translate to playoff success." It's easy to plan for danm Tyler we had a good thing going on😔
Herro Powell Wiggins bam ware 🏆 , idk why spo BSing 😤
against no-giannis bucks and thats a bad sign.
60% at 15 FGA and 2nd highest assist (7) in his team.
yet he gets the blame from the fans when norman and wiggins bricks on 11 FGA each.
Mitchell Powell Wiggins Bam Ware best unit that 3rd quarter run best of the night
Tyler slows down miamis offense confirmed. Trade him or make him a 6th man.
Herro haters really grasping at straws 😂😂😂
You two need to get off Tyler’s nuts.
Crazy how casual fans will say “trade Tyler” after a win. Every time MIL went on a run Tyler was on the bench, same as the last game. He’s legit the reason why we’ve won the last 2 games, and losers want to trade him away. Goofy behavior.
Tyler isn’t the reason why Norm, Wiggins, Simone, Pelle, Dru and crew can’t make a shot.
It is what is,Spo went back to HERRO BALl,upgrade the talent,GO Heat.
you know what the most important thing is here in all these discussions…. not Miami Heat game.. blah blah blah.. BUT Miami Heat WIN… Blah blah blah. im starting to think fans and pundits forgetting the WIN part!!!!!! MIAMI HEAT WIN!!!! Enjoy where we are at, its Awesome!
It doesn’t matter who starts as long as Ware + Herro play most their minutes together = guaranteed W
I’ve been saying this you need to bring Tyler hero off the bench every time he’s in the starting lineup. It never seems to go good together at all and ever since he been in the starting lineup, everybody else’s points have went in the trashcan
Tyler and Norman should not play together
With Tyler playing – there is no ball movement
Bam on Cunningham, Wiggs on Tobias, Ware on Duren. Best player on best player
We need Ware for size , Norman/ Tyler can handle the ball. Bam, Ware, Wiggins, Tyler, Norman
With Tyler playing – the Heat's offense slows down
Tyler should pass the ball
With Tyler playing – 3 to 4 players playing time and development is affected.
We just got lucky – OT was about to happen
Why is Wes saying we lose this game if Herro doesn’t play???? 😂😂😂😂 whaaaat? We were winning games without Herro against better teams all season. I don’t get it.
You guys are crazy if you gonna give Tyler Herro all this credit when he hasn’t been the one carrying this team that goes to Norman and bam
Tyler Herro don’t fit
Could they maybe start Davion, Tyler, Powell, Ware, Bam? Off the bench, Dru, Wiggins, Jovic/ Keshad, Pell, JJJ.
Wes love him some Tyler
NO MORE SMALL BALL FFS

Do we remember how poor things looked in the preseason? It took time for the team to develop their flow and as they get fully healthy it will take time to get it altogether. And in the games where teams have success in trying to take away what the heat want to do on offense, it’s great that they’re multidimensional enough to win in other ways.
It’s frustrating, but it’s becoming evident that for those that wanted Tyler gone, heels get dug in and there’s probably nothing that’s gonna happen on the court to change their stance.
Tyler played the most games of his career last year and got an All Star. But where did that take us? To a 37-win team. Without him this season? We are above 600. Everybody is talking about Miami Heat. Now that Herro is back, it becomes all about Herro being the hero. We have a 17 game sample of players performing right and well without Herro, don’t blame them if they suddenly throwing bricks once Herro came back. It is the fit. They don’t feel comfortable with Herro.
The best starting five is herro Powell wiggins bam ware you don’t have to have herro and Powell on at the same time take herro off first in the first quarter as Powell can get a rhythm you can use Powell and herro like bam and ware have 1 on at all times and have Davion come on with Powell as herro can play make better than powell
The joy is lost with kid herro
So many casuals in the comments want to blame herro for others not making wide open shots. I didn't know taking 15 shots in a game with 7 assists is considered "ball hogging," just grasping at anything to give him 0 credit.
Spo is gonne kill me with ❤ attack with that stupid switching @$$ system! We just got lucky tonight and the Mavs game coz the competition is not that good. I can bet my house that we lose against the Pistons if we continue this idiot switching defense! This game shouldn't be close if we do not switch a lot! Iggins also in the small ball line up is awful! I prefer Kelel and Larsson in the line up with Powell, Tyler and Bam is great! Stop the small ball and switching Spo!!! The switching and small ball is NOT gonna work against elite teams and that's a fact!
I bet when Jovic comes back we lose! I'm betting my house the Heat lose more than win games if Jovic plays so please trade his @$$ for cap relief!
this game is like that Cavs game where they loss by gleage but because herro is in this game they won lol
Since someone come back the ball is not moving as it used to, and we no longer have a higher pace offense
You guys do a great job‼️ Hats off to you David ( Don't Call Me Suga) Ramil and Wes (Pesos) Goldberg‼️😎👍🫡
Wouldve loved to see more Bam on Myles when he was cooking in the 3rd but we pulled it out
is Tyler killing the pace? Since he returned what we scored 106 points …
some of yall are tripn… it's an 82 game season… they have time to experiment with different lineups. It won't be at the costs of winning. Also you can't attribute the lack of scoring to the new lineup… the bucks played zone and did a good job slowing them down, teams will try to do this more as it gets later in the season.
Spo knows what he's doing. He just got his 800th win and the team was all happy for him and each other. chiiiilllllll.
The most important thing is that we have depth. Which is what you really need to win a ship.
Go Heat!
I don't know who to trade but we need one more reliable big guy. What if Bam or Ware goes out for an extended time? They need more depth. Jovic isn't a real big and Keshad ain't it.
Spo was disappointed with teams performance..three points shooting was awful
