Changes Needed After Heat Fall to Raptors, Bam Adebayo's Struggles Continue
Episode 2368
The Miami Heat stumble to their deepest low yet, dropping their third straight game and losing nine of their last ten—can Bam Adebayo break out of his slump and reignite an offense that’s lost its spark? Wes Goldberg and David Ramil dissect the Heat’s unraveling, pointing to defensive breakdowns, stagnant ball movement, and the concerning rise of mid-range jumpers over rim attacks and three-point shots.
Key topics include Bam Adebayo’s offensive woes, Tyler Herro’s absence, and why Miami’s uptempo scheme is no longer producing results. The hosts examine Toronto Raptors’ physicality, question whether the Heat’s early-season success was a mirage, and debate possible fixes—from more pick-and-roll action to major roster moves. Listener questions drive a candid conversation on coaching, player roles, and Miami’s path forward as must-win games loom and playoff hopes hang in the balance.
