Locked On Heat - Daily Podcast On The Miami Heat

Kendrick Nunn, in arguably his best game in almost a year, had 28 points off the bench to help an undermanned Heat team put away the Raptors, 111-102, in the first of a 2-game set. With no Jimmy Butler or Tyler Herro, Miami continues to get solid contributions from unexpected sources. Can the increased minutes and confidence improve one of the team's greatest strengths?

At 4-7, the Heat have underperformed and there are concerns about the roster, what's not working and the pressures of the season beginning to impact their level of play. I break down if Miami's offense or. defense is most concerning, how the team needs an infusion of energy and whether it's time to panic. Can the Heat turn things around before it's too late?

Miami's roster was depleted for the second straight game and it eventually caught up to them in a blowout loss. But does it matter? The Heat were able to help players get some necessary experience to further their development and ultimately this season is about getting better while making sure you're healthy and intact as COVID continues to change the NBA landscape. I talk about how Gabe Vincent, Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson stepped up before answering your questions on trades, roster changes and more.

Early Monday afternoon, the Miami Heat indicated nearly half their roster would be out for approximately a week to adhere to the NBA's Health & Safety Protocols related to the COVID-19 Virus. I break down the latest news, who's available when the team takes on the Philadelphia 76ers (going through their own COVID issues, too) and try to take some pros and cons out of this situation.

After an ugly win over Washington on Saturday, the Heat were set to take on the Boston Celtics the next day. But reports broke Sunday afternoon that several Miami players were going through health and safety protocols and contract tracing and the game was postponed. What does it all mean? What happens next? And why has Miami struggled so much this season?

Jack Alfonso of Miami Heat Beat joins me on the show to look at Miami's first seven games and to break down are concerns about Tyler Herro at PG, Jimmy Butler's health and Bam Adebayo's occasional lack of aggression. The consensus? There's a problem but things probably aren't as bad as you might think. Plus, would a trade for another disgruntled superstar (ahem, perhaps in Houston) be the solution?

In a rematch of last season's Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat looked shaky early on but Jimmy Butler was aggressive in his best game of the early season, and some timely shooting from Duncan Robinson (on a night he set the NBA record for fastest player to reach 300 made 3FG), helped cut a Boston lead down with just seconds left in the game. But a last second shot from the Celtics sealed the game as Miami drops to a 3-4 record. I recap the game, and answer your questions about trades and what went wrong, as well as discuss the illegal demonstrations in Washington D.C.

I also talk about the latest regarding KZ Okpala, who remains stuck on the bench, much to the frustration of Heat fans everywhere.
