Heat's Frontcourt Dominated in Loss to Timberwolves

Miami Heat struggle in blowout loss as Tyler Herro returns; can the team regain momentum before the trade deadline looms? Wes Goldberg and David Ramil break down the Miami Heat’s tough night against the Minnesota Timberwolves, spotlighting defensive woes, front court struggles from Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware, and missed opportunities at the rim. Tyler Herro’s return saw him post 17 points off the bench, but his presence couldn't spark a comeback against Rudy Gobert’s impactful defense and Anthony Edwards’ efficient scoring for Minnesota.

The conversation shifts to the Heat’s looming decision on Terry Rozier’s contract, potential trade deadline strategies, and what Miami must do to right the ship with key games against the Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers, and Oklahoma City Thunder on the horizon. Plus, listener questions spark debate about Miami’s rotation, trade targets like Jalen Smith, and the future direction of this Heat roster.
