About this episode
The Miami Heat eye the 6th seed as Tyler Herro nears return from fractured ribs—can his playmaking ignite a playoff surge? Wes Goldberg and David Ramil break down how Herro’s comeback, alongside a healthier Norm Powell, could reshape the Heat’s offensive firepower and lift them out of the play-in tournament. With Orlando Magic’s Franz Wagner and Philadelphia 76ers’ Joel Embiid sidelined, the road to a top-six spot in the East opens up—will Miami capitalize? The hosts analyze Miami’s evolving identity, recent roster moves including Myron Gardner’s promotion, and what Herro and Powell’s partnership means for the final 26 games. Plus: Are the Heat finished maneuvering before the buyout deadline?
