The following season, the Miami Heat reinforced this structure on their way to a 4-1 gentleman’s sweep. Even with these changes, I’d still say The Wall is the weapon of choice for attempting to slow down Antetokounmpo. Speaking of Holiday, opposing teams would do well to make Antetokounmpo forget how much of a revelation his go-to table-setter has been. When Antetokounmpo is playing off Holiday, it’s way harder to load up your defense on him. Even if your group is moving and communicating perfectly, you still need great personnel.

Kyle Lowry, the shiny new sign-and-trade toy from the summer, has been unavailable for large swaths of the season. There’s been a constant feeling of “reinforcements on the way” while the Heat scrapped, slashed or clawed their way to the Eastern Conference’s best record.

Over the course of his eight-year NBA career, Oladipo has averaged 17.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.6 steals on .438/.347/.791 shooting splits. Last March, Miami dealt Avery Bradley, Kelly Olynyk and a 2022 first-round pick swap to the Rockets in exchange for Oladipo.

The Heat have that thanks to their All-Star duo of Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. But Butler, Tucker and Adebayo?

As much as I gamble, my guys are there whenever I do mess it up.”Luckily for the Heat, Butler doesn’t mess up that often.

Udonis Haslem has been telling anyone who will listen the same thing for years, that if given a chance he can still impact winning. The Miami Heat won’t disagree.

Beginning the regular season with high expectations, the Miami Heat proved themselves to be a danger in the NBA’s Eastern Conference after destroying the Milwaukee Bucks, 137-95. Forward Tyler Herro played a dominant game after coming off the bench a little into the first quarter. He made a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from deep to close out the first quarter with Miami leading the Bucks, 40-17. As the fourth quarter neared an end and Miami’s lead increased even more, the FTX arena erupted with Miami Heat fans yelling, “We want Haslem!” The whole Miami Heat team, even head coach Erik Spoelstra, joined in on the banter. The Miami Heat veteran, now playing in his 19th season, laughed it off and respectfully ignored the cheers from the crowd.

Sarah Stier/GettyMiami Heat center Meyers Leonard "will be away from the team indefinitely" after he said an anti-Semitic slur while streaming himself playing a video game on Twitch, the team announced Tuesday night. In a now-viral video clip posted on social media, Leonard could be heard shouting, "F-----g cowards, don't f-----g snipe at me you f-----g k--- b----."
