  1. A very unserious podcast. We should be talking about Spo and lack of adjustments. Given this year of course they are not paying him. It’s obvious they will keep Powell over Herro. They plan to package Herro for a star. 🙄

  2. Not to be a Jimmy apologist but he’s averaging 20 6 5 and 1.5 assists on 53 42 85 splits and has played 26 out of 30 games so far .. so I wouldn’t say he has proven he wasn’t worth the extension

  3. I love hearing your podcast even I don’t particularly love Miami Heat because I think you guys are really objective when criticizing players and provide great insight.

    I’m from Taiwan and I learn a lot about NBA and have deeper understanding about basketball from this podcast I just want to say thank you !

  4. Funny you mentioned Bill Parcells this episode. I’ll let you know a famous quote he said “ if the pup ain’t barking by year 3 than it’s not a dog.. when will the Heat organization recognize this with Jovic 😢

  5. The only right move is to trade Bam the guys going to be making 50mil beginning next season!!!! I don’t understand why they don’t go young people will still watch ..a championship is nice, but the journey to one is what fans truly enjoy trade Powell bam Wiggins & no 💩 herro is not saving them no superstar in this league is saving this 💩 team and I thought this team was better without Herro so now it’s his fault bc he’s not playing but when he played yall said they didn’t need him lol the hypocrisy is insane

  6. You guys need to stop assuming how much Tyler wants in an extension. Tyler took less money in his first extension. He has shown to be very aware of what is said about him. If he comes back and says ill take 2 years at 35 mil you jump to sign him. That is team friendly. At the end of 2 years if he can prove he can stay on the court, he will only be 28 and it fits the heat timeline with him and bam.

  7. Saying Tyler needs to lead them to win 8 out of 10 when the player currently leading us to 2 and 9 about to make 51 mil a year shows the Tyler bias this podcast has. If tyler was putting up Powells numbers through this streak the entire podcast would be about what you can trade him for. Somehow Powell keeps getting a pass. He has had 1 good shooting game in the last 16 games. His points are coming lately in garbage time.

  8. Jovic has never shown anything in games to make anybody believe that he will ever be anything. Maybe in practice he is good?
    NBA figured out the gimick offense quickly and Herro got blamed.
    Bam isnt good enough.
    Hit the reset button.

  9. bam has been a disappointment for the past 3 years. this system not being a fit for bam is just another friggin excuse! this offense gives the green light to ANY PLAYER WHO CAN GAIN AN ADVANTAGE. bam has every advantage on centers going downhill! he used to leap over them and slam. he used to bully smaller defenders. now all he does is cowardly take mid range clankers and airball 3s. bam is a SOFT, LOW IQ, NO FIGHT player who SHOULD NOT BE a team captain. and who should never have been maxed. if you're a bam fan then should should support trading him so he can get a ring as an essential defensive role player on a contender. and if you're a heat fan, trading bam is a no brainer at this point.

  10. U opened with the biggest disappointment, and labeled it NJ.
    Honestly, how can u blame NJ as,
    He wasnt a good 4 last year, and on top of that, he was injured in the final part of the year, only 2 b allowed to shoot 3's in the playoffs, after being out an extended amount of time. NJ won 3 games last yr, at the 3, with HH & Bam anchoring the front court.

    To double down that the biggest disappointment was really mgnt,
    Because not only was making NJ a 4, the Heat let go of their other 3 big men.

    Now forget that I am saying this, how do you think Bam feels???

    If there isn't enough salt in the wound, Coach refuses to give a full allotment of minutes to KW.

    Good thing Bam has a girlfriend bcause these guys pay him, but they don't treat him very well

  11. Ethan spitting all those facts at the end about Bam’s multi-year decline and Alex being totally gagged was an awesome Christmas gift.

    It was also hilarious to hear all the reasons why Tyler shouldn’t get max $.. which are basically the same reasons why Bam is overpaid. 1 exception when Bam plays it doesn’t matter they don’t win. Whereas when Tyler plays they do, but he’s just missed so many games.

    Merry Christmas Heat Nation! We’re all hoping for a very Ware New Year!
