After false start in Chicago, is this the Miami Heat lineup?
Jan 09, 2026

We didn't get to see the first five take the floor in Chicago on Thursday, other than in warmups. But prior to the game's suspension due to excess moisture in United Center, Erik Spoelstra tipped his hand. Ethan Skolnick and Brady Hawk speculate on whether this will be the starting group going forward and, if so, what does each player need to provide and sacrifice.

Should the Miami Heat reconsider their stance on Trae Young?
Jan 07, 2026

Over time, the Miami Heat have not shown much interest in Hawks guard Trae Young, other than when locking him up in elimination games. But now that it appears the Hawks will move Young for next-to-nothing, should the Heat get involved? Alex Toledo kind of, sort of, tries to convince Ethan Skolnick, only because no one else will.
