Erik Spoelstra is shrinking his rotation, and that’s not a good thing
The Miami Heat’s most recent loss to the Boston Celtics felt like an all-too-common occurrence.

2025-26 Miami Heat Power Rankings Roundup: April
If I’ve learned one thing from this season — or even the last 2-3 years — is that time flies, even when you’re not having fun.

Jaime Jaquez credits ‘one of our best halftimes ever’ for win over 76ers
Typically, a team playing for playoff seeding in late March has an extra sense of urgency. Every possession is magnified and the attention to detail increases. For the Miami Heat, every game became a must-win game to avoid the play-in.

A Tyler Herro-led run fuels Heat win over 76ers
Coming off an embarrassing 17-point loss to the tanking Pacers the night prior, no team needed a jolt more than the Miami Heat. Not necessarily offensively, but defensively.

Heat defense has fallen off the map

Cavaliers embarrass Heat with 149-128 win
Last postseason, the Miami Heat were walloped in historical fashion to the Cleveland Cavaliers, getting mercifully swept with 37- and 55-point defeats in the final two games. 11 months later, the Cavaliers created an eerily similar feeling — or at least it felt like it.
