Miami Heat star Tyler Herro made headlines this week when his words about former teammate Jimmy Butler were taken out of context. With social media running with the narrative that Herro needed Butler to win, the 25-year-old suggests that is far from the truth.

The Miami Heat are no strangers to the play-in tournament. For the third straight season, the Heat will compete in the play-in tournament, appearing 60% of the time in this current format.

Tuesday night, the Warriors travel to South Beach to play the Miami Heat. This would be just another regular-season game for both teams, except Jimmy Butler returns in front of the home Heat crowd for the first time since his off-the-court antics landed him with a new team at the trade deadline.

The Miami Heat traded Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors at the deadline after the star turned problematic. Since, the Warriors team has trended upward with a re-energized and motivated Jimmy Butler, while the Heat have trended downward in search of a direction in the post-Butler era. With the trend of the two organizations, it’s time to ask, should the Miami Heat pack it in for next year?

It’s official. 24 hours after Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck entered the transfer portal, it didn’t take long for Beck to land at a new home.

Butler has lost his joy, Riley has lost his patience, and it appears the Miami Heat will lose the franchise’s centerpiece since his arrival in 2019. For the last six years, Playoff Jimmy exemplified Heat Culture. Now, he wants to play anywhere but Miami.

Many believe coming into the season the team needs to be built around Bam Adebayo. But to begin the year, it appears to be Tyler Herro rising from the ashes to save the day and be Miami’s hero.

Turns out not getting a hit for the last six innings isn’t a sound strategy

Rookie Drew Thorpe nabs another win after a dominant performance and a little help from the offense.

Who could join the Heat Culture this week? The Heat currently hold the 15th overall pick, right outside the lottery. They’ve struck gold in the teens before with Bam Adebayo (#14 – 2017), Tyler Herro (#13 – 2019), and most recently Jaime Jaquez Jr. (#18 – 2023). It’s about getting the right guy in the building and the Heat can find success.
