Miami Heat issues run deeper than simply blaming Tyler Herro | Fourth straight loss last night - video Dailymotion

WQAM-AM / AM 560 Sports WQAM

Solana doesn't think the Heat's recent skid is simply a Herro problem... Miami can't defend and can't shoot over the past week and a half.

Transcript

00:00any nervousness Solana about the heat they've lost four in a row this Desmond Bain you just

00:05had him on the pivot have you dropped that episode yet of the pivot yes it was Friday

00:09this Desmond Bain man holy hell I mean he took them to the woodshed like it was it was watching

00:19the Desmond Bain show are you nervous at all about the heat Solana they've lost four in a row

00:23also they're not uh scoring the way that they were yeah I'm very nervous I know everybody's

00:28focusing on the offensive numbers rightfully so over the past four games that they've lost 29th

00:34offensive ranked team in the league like yeesh and I know the easy take is Tyler Hero's back I know

00:41we're gonna get there I mean it's the first chat that comes up cut Hero already I know I know that's

00:47the take and I get it I understand but to me the more concerning part is that their defense stinks

00:53they're not hitting threes they're not attempting threes and they can't defend anybody so yeah I am

00:59I am concerned right now all right is Bam playing because Bam solidifies the defense he is playing

01:06he is playing Tyler Hero's playing as well they do seem Tyler Hero is a turnstile

01:14Tyler Hero can't guard my daughter defensively yes but I'm just saying offensively they do seem to be a

01:21different team without Tyler Hero uh with Tyler Hero excuse me yeah I don't know if it's just uh I

01:27don't know if it's just a really big coincidence because when you're looking at the numbers from

01:33everybody else not including Tyler Norman Bam like everybody is regressed since that really hot start

01:39like Simone Fontecchio Jaime Haquez Jr. Niko Jovich isn't even getting playing time Kalil Ware is a shell of

01:46what we saw over two weeks where I was talking about the best version of this team with Kalil Ware

01:52in the lineup and now I don't want Kalil Ware sniffing the court currently I don't know if it's

01:57just a coincidence or maybe it is Tyler I think every every option's on the table right now because

02:03they stink no it's it's not Tyler Solana just listen to me open-minded talent is always going to

02:11take over in the NBA style can get you so far talent's going to take over and that's what the

02:17whole argument Giannis versus Bam and all that talent is going to get you we're not a very talented team

02:23that that's fair but but I would just say this the Orlando Magic without Franz Wagner aren't this much

02:30more talented team than the Miami Heat so and then the whole notion that Tyler Hero slows the team down

02:37or whatever he didn't play in Orlando last Friday where the Heat had their worst offensive performance

02:42of the season it only took 19 threes and he didn't play against Sacramento the second night of a back

02:47to back where the five win kings who have lost two since took it to you so there's deeper issues at

02:54play here than just uh-oh Tyler Hero's back and the Heat can't play offense anymore they were outscored

03:01by 21 points from beyond the arc yesterday you're not going to beat anybody well when you're minus 21

03:06from three correct not and I'm watching Norman Powell throw up air balls like that you know

03:12talent talent Norman Powell can hit threes I don't know how he's shooting air balls so there's some

03:18concerning things over the last few games Will Manso is going to join us today by the way we'll talk

03:24some heat with Will Manso and Gino Toretta is going to join us today we'll talk college football playoffs

03:29with Gino he usually joins us on Thursdays he's traveling tomorrow so he's going to join us today

03:35but to speak about Norman Powell who's now a friend of mine I'm gonna I'm gonna humble brag you know

03:40Norman Norman Powell has scored 37 points over the last what he scored in 10 games he has three 37

03:47point games we don't you mean Desmond Bain Desmond I'm sorry Desmond Bain right I was confused there

03:52because I'm like how are you friends with Norman Powell okay sorry Norman Powell has never scored 37

03:58points I'm gonna look it up I can't my phone he did it this year my my phone died I wanted to get

04:06the stats I couldn't get the stats because I didn't charge my phone and I was crystal shopping

04:10but I mean what are what are we moving the goalposts there though because we're not we were saying that

04:14they need a scorer Norman Powell's been a scorer so now are we moving the goalposts do you have to score

04:1937 no he needs to score with the other scorers he scored 38 against the Knicks like two and is that

04:26his highest number for the year because no one Norm uh Desmond Bain scored 37 three times I know

04:32it because yeah but wait a second back to back time what did Orlando trade to get Desmond Bain

04:37Hawk now you're going to Solana argument of trade pieces and well no no no but you're

04:43no no no no no no you're talking about the roster to Desmond Bain and I'm saying that's unfair

04:49currently constructed Norman Norman Norman Powell is not as good as Desmond Bain offensively right but

04:56I don't think anyone would argue that and we don't have that guy so we want our best score is

05:01not as good as Orlando's best score it's a talent driven yes no that I that I agree with I mean that

05:07that I that to me is like yes Orlando should be seated higher than Miami they are and Orlando should

05:16take care of Miami and they are the question is where does the heat fit into the hierarchy of the

05:23East I think we knew coming in Orlando was going to be an elite team in the East but you're talking

05:28about Orlando like if they're significantly more talented and Crowder I'm not arguing Desmond Bain's

05:33the best player on either of these two teams I I think there's a case to be made there and he's

05:38better than Norman Powell top to bottom like he's a better player but they're missing their leading

05:42score in Franz Wagner which was my point like those points got to go somewhere right and and look I don't

05:48think even even when at full strength they're significantly more talented than the heat I'm

05:55not telling you the heat are more talented I'm just saying there isn't like this massive gap these are

05:59two very similar teams and by the way the score lines and all of these games indicate that these have

06:04all been one score games outside of last night where again the heat were eight of 33 from beyond the arc

06:11that's why I'm pumping the brakes on like this this entire experiment is over they have to rethink

06:18everything it's all Tyler Hero's fault well I don't know the heat can't put the ball in the ocean over

06:24the past couple games if Norman Powell yesterday doesn't airball three threes and those go in

06:30Hawk which by the way for the most part they have been going in for him he shot over 40 percent last year

06:34from three the heat lost by nine like that's the difference in the game right there I think it could be that

06:40simple they're not defending as well as they should and they're not hitting threes

06:44I'm my whole thing I love pace of play I think both got the best thing for the roster but pal bam and

06:53Tyler or Franz Bain and Blancho Ranchero whatever the hell his name is yeah they're better though

07:03Orlando's big three is better than our big three and that's why they win games well I think there's a

07:09reason that they spent so much to get Desmond Bain they think that they're an excellent top tier

07:14team and it's working and it's working so it's it's kind of proven that way I'm not necessarily

07:20certain that the heat went into this season thinking that as well they were happy to get

07:24Norman Powell but I don't think they were as happy to get Powell as Orlando was to get Desmond Bain

07:29let's do headlines so we have enough time with Gino Toretta because there's still all

07:34all this college football hoo-ha to talk about headlines brought to you by Darrell Hyundai home

07:40of the Pricito our lowest price visit them at Darrell Hyundai or Darrell Hyundai.com the Miami Heat

07:46did lose yesterday so they are eliminated from the NBA Cup gentlemen that is official and the New York

07:53Knicks beat the Raptors in the NBA Cup just to kind of round out some NBA headlines there so

07:58the Knicks and the Magic move on from the east you do have two games tonight out on the west coast

08:04OKC who is 115 straight they're 23 and one this team is defying everything they seem to be an

08:10unstoppable force what is their one loss do you know yeah Portland really by two points or three points

08:16Hawk of over this 15 game win streak I had I had this written down for later over this 15 game win

08:20streak all of their wins outside of two have been by double digits and their expected starting lineup like

08:28the five guys everybody's like that's the starting five that they're gonna play with come playoff time

08:33has played zero minutes together this season they're injured they're not even fully healthy

08:37it's amazing it's amazing their their point differential last year like what was the best

08:43ever what's okay they're doubling it this year what's OKC's odds to win the uh to win the west is like

08:48like I mean it has to be minus 120 minus 130 even that seems too low right Denver Denver is is

08:55probably the second best team and they're in the west and all the best teams are in the west so I

09:00don't I don't think it's but you have 23 wins in 24 games I mean that's I mean they're pacing for

09:07three losses on the season oh I'm gonna look at what the uh what the season ending odds are on the

09:13hard rock app

09:13listen SGA is going to overcome all of any analytics you can do because he's a great player

09:23let's see team futures NBA champion OKC is plus 145 to win the west oh minus 115 that seems like a

09:35good bet to me unless you want to take a flyer on Denver at plus 425 the thing is Houston is one of

09:41those teams that may be in the regular season they're just fine yeah but there's at some point

09:46there's just too much ground to make up no but you're talking about to win the west like top seed

09:51in the west or oh no no you're right you're right you're right you're right you're right and look I'm

09:58not telling you I would pick any of these teams against OKC I'm not betting against them but even

10:02last year they had the best point differential they had the MVP they had the best record and the

10:07Pacers with Andrew Nembhard leading them because Tyrese Halliburton went down and put them to seven

10:13games like I I'm just saying that things happen and you're right you have a Houston Rockets team with

10:19Kevin Durant that plays big I was thinking best record in the west I wasn't thinking winner of the west

10:24that that for sure they have it locked up that would be minus 10,000 at this point you want to guess

10:29regular season wins these are adjusted now for where the teams are at right now regular season

10:35wins over under for OKC 68 I would bet 68 and a half 69 and a half

10:44I'd bet under that's that's they're gonna stop I saw you go for it you didn't want to pull the trigger

10:53on nice nice all right
