Miami Heat: Concerns about Jimmy Butler's missed time?

Jimmy Butler will sit again Friday, this time due to a toe injury, which puts him on a pace for 56 games, his lowest number (by percentage) of games played for the Heat in a season. Is this a concern? Or is it more about how Butler has been inconsistent with his performance when he has played? And can the Heat win big in the playoffs with Butler being good, but not great? Ethan Skolnick and Alex Toledo discuss.Sponsors: BettorEdge.com (5RSN), Water Cleanup of FloridaJoin us on our Off The Floor Discord server!

Miami Heat: Shredded by Bulls guards, fall to 14-11

The Miami Heat played without Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro and Haywood Highsmith again -- and didn't have Josh Richardson either. But they should have had enough to beat the Bulls. Instead they got off to a 33-8 deficit, and couldn't climb all the way back. Ethan and Greg discuss the disappointing point-of-attack defense, Jimmy Butler's blase performance, Jaime Jaquez's continued growth and more.Sponsors: ROK Esports Center, EricRubenstein.com and InsuranceByLinnette.comGet updates/information/stats from the 5OTF crew and hang out with other Heat fans! https://t.co/izwgN0SEt6Offer: Get a Deposit Match up to $100 when you sign up on Sleeper!Use Promo Code At Sign-Up: 100NOWFull Disclaimer: Sleeper Picks are available to eligible residents: (1) 18+ and physically present in AK, AR, CA, CO, DC, FL, GA, IL, KS, KY, MN, NM, NC, ND, OK, OR, RI, SC, SD, TX, UT, VT, VA, WI, and WY; (2) 19 + and physically present in NE; and (3) 21+ and physically present in MA.

Miami Heat: Do Fans Overvalue, or Undervalue, Their Own?

A more philosophical debate in today's episode: Last season, Heat fans were accused of overvaluing the likes of Tyler Herro and KZ Okpala and Precious Achiuwa when it came to trade conversations. Now, though, it seems they may be undervaluing Duncan Robinson and Kendrick Nunn compared to how fans of other teams see them. Do most Heat fans overvalue or undervalue their own?

Miami Heat: It's Enough after awful L vs. Clippers

There's no excusing this one. Facing a team without four starters, including Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the Miami Heat couldn't guard anyone and fell to 11-16 on the season. Ethan Skolnick is joined by Five Reasons Sports contributors (and Clutch Corner hosts) Adam Borai and Michael Christian to chart the course from here, if there is one. That includes such previously unappealing scenarios such as taking a step back for the future -- maybe even trading Goran Dragic for a first round pick.

Miami Heat: Routing Indiana Pacers, TJ Warren in Playoff Prelude

This is the team Erik Spoelstra wanted to see. The Miami Heat played a dominant second half, getting contributions from Jimmy Butler, Derrick Jones Jr, Duncan Robinson and more in a big win that likely secures a 4th or 5th seed and serves as a prelude to an upcoming playoff series with the Indiana Pacers.  Notable: they held bubble star TJ Warren in check, and Goran Dragic was effective in a surprise start.  Hosts Ethan, Alex, Alf and Greg analyze it all.
