Locked On Heat

Miami Heat drop three straight for the first time this season—have NBA defenses finally cracked Erik Spoelstra’s high-paced offense, or are cold shooting nights and key injuries to Tyler Herro and Norm Powell to blame? Wes Goldberg spotlights Miami’s sluggish offense against the Sacramento Kings, Dallas Mavericks, and Orlando Magic, exploring how opposing teams have adjusted by packing the paint and getting back in transition. Key issues discussed include the Heat’s surprising lack of efficiency in transition despite leading the league in pace, missed open threes, and the impact of missing reliable shooters. Goldberg also breaks down Miami’s evolving approach versus zone and man defenses, the need for more pick-and-roll sets, and why increased emphasis on corner threes could help. Plus, insight into Tyler Herro’s injury status and what his looming return means for Miami’s strategy in the NBA Cup knockout stage. 0:00 — Heat's Three-Game Losing Streak9:53 — Diagnosing Offense Problems & Solutions21:17 — Tyl
