Episode Details

Miami Heat crush the Washington Wizards on Super Bowl Sunday, fueled by the dynamic Kel'el Ware–Bam Adebayo frontcourt pairing. As fans speculate about potential tanking, Erik Spoelstra delivers a resounding message: Miami’s culture is all about competing for wins, not draft odds. With the Heat holding firm at the trade deadline, can their winning mentality break through mediocrity, or is another play-in round looming? 

Wes Goldberg and David Ramil break down the Heat’s dominant win, highlighting Kasparas Jakucionis’s historic shooting night and Kel'el Ware’s impact alongside Adebayo. The hosts dish out their “credit cookies,” debate the future of the Bam–Ware lineup, and provide updates on Tyler Herro’s injury status.
