REACTION: Miami Heat’s Win Over Pelicans HOPES to Fuel Late-Season SURGE After All-Star Break
The Miami Heat notch a crucial win over the New Orleans Pelicans, fueling hopes for a late-season surge. Bam Adebayo stuffs the stat line while rookie Kasparas Jakucionis continues to impress with his steady development and clutch contributions. Are Erik Spoelstra’s adjustments and the big man pairing of Adebayo and Kel’el Ware the formula for breaking out of the play-in trap?
Wes Goldberg and David Ramil break down Miami’s roster health, highlight Jaime Jaquez Jr.’s impact, and debate whether Tyler Herro and Norm Powell’s eventual returns can unlock the Heat’s offensive potential. Plus, they reveal the current Credit Cookie standings and answer questions about potential moves like adding Jeremy Sochan.

Honestly I’m hoping we lose the rest of the way. To get us a high lottery pick we so desperately need.
Remember when we used to be winning & misery? Wade is my God. I refuse to celebrate Play-In’s & Bam’s career low scoring percentage. I’m not celebrating mediocrity.
Stop it
David had to take back his standard of Bam having to score efficiently to earn credit cookies because Bam would never get cookies 😂. Oh mediocre Bam. God Bless
Great show gentlemen..
Credit Brownies or Edibles sound better..
Bro enough with Herro and Jovic.
Can we just please trade them.
Herro hasn't played a full season ever.Yes last year he played 77 games fantastic but he never played in the playoffs last year..
Jovic hasn't played a full season ever
David is fooling himself.
Vlad Goldin should be backup center and Dru Smith should get less minutes
I think Jeremy Sochan is better than Kuminga
Why did we not try trade for Paul reed ? If we loose wigs and Powell for nothing pat needs to retire , id sign Sohan on a 2way immediately
Bam had a Ant-Man stat line I like it💪🏽
Utah….
if ware,kaspar & gardner continue to get better & jovic actually becomes serviceable by playoff time(yes playoff not play in since I believe they can get to that 6th seed),with a healthy team & a returning herro,i think this team can make a 1st round series against a top team competitive
Oh David…Herro probably won’t hit the floor again this season and Jovic is who he is…cheeks.
Great show guys.LETS GO HEAT 🔥
Jacques Game seems similar to Williamson's
Literally 10 seconds into the video and I already know I’m going to cut this off. Wes Goldberg is the WORST!
6-7 years there 😂
Shout out to Myron on the boards yesterday. Bringing the energy!
Still in 8th seed
Myron deserved 1 cookie over Kas last night IMO
