5R167- Ethan and Chris ask the tough questions about what the Miami Dolphins winning by losing and losing by winning might look like in 2019. Who do they start at Quarterback?

5R162- Ethan and Chris break down all the latest in the NBA as the trade deadline passes. We break down the Heat's lone trade, the Pelicans holding on to Anthony Davis, the Raptors, Sixers, and Bucks all swinging big deals, and where the league stands now that all the business is done.

5R161- Ethan and Chris present their State of the Heat following another inconsistent period that ended with them beating Portland on the road on Tuesday night. We also get into trades the Heat can make at the deadline and what direction they can go with the team.
