As the NBA still decides on its offseason transaction schedule, Ethan, Alf and Greg discuss one of the key things to watch:
Does Bam Adebayo ask to sign an extension now?
If so, that has ramifications on the pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Should the Heat budge if so? How does Giannis' agent come into play? And, in general, should the Heat act like a team that just reached the NBA Finals, or is earlier in its process?

As attention turns to the Miami Heat offseason, one possible, attainable target is Victor Oladipo, who doesn't seem happy with the Indiana Pacers.
Does he make sense as a one-year option for the Heat? Is he totally healthy? What should the Heat give up? What should they hold back?
Ethan and Alex discuss.

It's finally over, after nearly a full year.
The Miami Heat ran out of gas in Game 6, falling behind by more than 30 against Finals MVP LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Rajon Rondo (yes, him) and the Los Angeles Lakers. And so one of the more memorable seasons in Heat history is finally over.
Ethan Skolnick, Greg Sylvander and Alex Toledo jumped on Five on the Floor with about four minutes remaining, to capture the mood of the final Finals game, and recognize the Lakers' achievement.

It didn't seem possible, but Jimmy Butler topped himself.
We didn't expect to pod, but we had to.

With a longer break between NBA Finals games, Ethan Skolnick and Greg Sylvander take 30 minutes to assess whose stock has gone up for the Miami Heat in the bubble, and whose has gone down. Mostly agreement, but a couple of differences, and maybe one surprise.

The game was there for the Heat, and then it wasn't.
The Lakers won Game 4, 102-96, stifling the Heat offense by using a different (Anthony Davis centric) strategy on Jimmy Butler. Now it's 3-1 in the NBA Finals.
What happened, and what can the Heat fix for Game 5 on Friday?
Ethan, Greg and Alex talk about Bam's return, Butler's passiveness, Dragic's absence, KCP and Rondo's contributions and more. Oh, and LeBron is one win from his fourth title.

Jimmy Butler told you to believe in his undermanned team, then turned in one of the great performances in Miami Heat playoff history, with 40 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists as the Heat outlasted LeBron James the Los Angeles Lakers and won Game 3. Now they trail 2-1, with Bam Adebayo possibly back in Game 4.
Ethan Skolnick, Alex Toledo and Greg Sylvander put it all in perspective.

What a series of worst case scenarios.
After the Miami Heat took an early 13-point lead, the Los Angeles Lakers blitzed them with a 75-30 run, made worse by injuries to Goran Dragic and Bam Adebayo, with the Dragic injury more serious. Ethan and Greg -- who together broke the news of a plantar fascia tear -- are joined by Alex for the analysis of what went wrong, and what can be fixed against Anthony Davis, LeBron James and role players who couldn't miss a shot.
