Miami Heat LOSE to TANKING Jazz?! Kasparas Jakucionis Shines in Ugly Miami Loss | Locked On Heat

The Miami Heat lose to the Utah Jazz in a frustrating 115-111 loss, raising serious questions about effort, roster construction, and direction. After the Heat lose to a tanking Jazz team, we break down what went wrong, why Miami leaned too heavily on three-pointers, and whether fatigue is a real excuse.

There was one bright spot: Kasparas Jakucionis. The rookie scored 20 points and continues to build a case for a larger role. Should the Heat embrace a youth movement? Plus, listener questions on roster additions, rebounding issues, Tyler Herro’s return, and the Heat’s long-term outlook.

  6. I'm very happy about the loss, actually. Every time they lose, I will take a shot of whiskey to celebrate. This is the only way, at least for a hope of getting a good pick in the draft and going from there. Otherwise, we will remain in mediocrity for years. We don't have enough talent to compete at a high level, and we neither have enough access to get a whale. And by the way, how do we get Dwyane Wade?

  17. The problem is this franchise has put spo on a pedestal and basically given him 100% immunity to anything being his fault. Loyalty over logic is destroying this franchise. How many more examples do we need before someone upstairs sees reality?

  20. Here I’ll be a Heat podcaster: “it’s ok we lost & are going nowhere. Bam tried really hard. He wasn’t good but he tried. Yay Bam! So if you want to blame anyone make sure it’s never Bam.”

  22. Reason the Heat can’t trade no one wants these flogs that is including Bam and Herro damaged goods why would u take them what they have been showing this season other teams staying clear rightly so

  23. Nikola Jovic – most consistent heat player this season. Tonight he played 17 minutes
    -0 pts
    -0/4fg
    -0/4 3pt
    -0/2 ft
    -0 asst
    -0 stl
    -0 blk
    -4 rbs

  31. That was a bad effort Wes ?? Why do we constantly lie to ourselves, why can’t acknowledge this team is just not good

    But Hey I guess we just keep fighting because we don’t tank right ??

    Although we lost to a team that actively is tanking and took out all starters in 4th

    It’s pathetic at this point

  33. The way the Jazz closed out on BOTH the 2nd and 4th quarters was BEYOND EMBARRASING!!!!!! Simone/Jaime/Jovic…2/20 SERIOUSLY!!!!! Losing against the TANKING JAZZ!!!!!!!!!
