We're bored, you're bored. So the crew from Five on the Floor got together on a Thursday night stream to discuss the Heat -- and more -- as Miami waits for Boston or Toronto.
We get a little looser on the stream, as you'll see.

The kid did it. With the Miami Heat's All-Stars struggling, Tyler Herro played an exceptional overall game as the Heat beat the Giannis-less Milwaukee Bucks to win their second round series in five games. Next: the Celtics or Raptors.
Ethan Skolnick, Greg Sylvander, Brady Hawk and (after the Zoom interviews) Alex Toledo discuss not only the win, but the significance of it. To Ethan, this is the most satisfying of all the Pat Riley builds, and a testament to Erik Spoelstra's elite status.

The Miami Heat said they understood the intensity needed for a close out game, but didn't show that in Game 4 against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday. Even with Giannis going out with another ankle sprain, the Heat lost 118-115 in overtime.
Ethan Skolnick is joined by Greg Sylvander and Brady Hawk to discuss what went wrong, even with Tyler Herro's late heroics and Bam Adebayo's best playoff performance... and what has to happen for Game 5 on Tuesday.

Clay Ferraro, sports anchor on WPLG-10 (ABC), joins Ethan, Alex and Greg for a variety of topics related to the Miami Heat, including a Game 3 Bucks preview, where Goran Dragic ranks in Heat history, the courting of Heat assistant Dan Craig and more.
They also take viewer comments and questions on the YouTube stream, most of which are about Ferraro's Brook Lopez-speed Internet.

Well, that was something. The Miami Heat (with Goran Dragic leading again) survive Giannis and the officials, and win 116-114 on two Jimmy Butler free throws at the buzzer. Now they lead 2-0 against the top seed in the Eastern Conference second round of the playoffs.
Ethan, Alex, Greg and Brady Hawk break it all down, and come to a conclusion:
Maybe the Heat are just.... better?

Prior to the Milwaukee Bucks choosing not to play Wednesday in a social justice protest -- and the NBA suspending the rest of the day's schedule -- Ethan Skolnick and Alex Toledo spoke to Fox Sports Sun analyst and former NBA point guard John Crotty about the key players on the current team, while mixing in some Zo-era nostalgia.
As a bonus, we include the day's Zoom calls with Erik Spoelstra and Andre Iguodala, which were conducted prior to the Bucks' action but were on a similar theme. Iguodala is the vice president of the NBA Players Association and would be active in the night's meetings.

The Miami Heat, picked by most national media members to be fighting for a playoff spot this season, have swept the Indiana Pacers, 4-0 -- behind another great closing push from Goran Dragic and dynamic all-around play from Bam Adebayo. And they did it on a night when Jimmy Butler was limited by a shoulder injury.
Ethan Skolnick, Greg Sylvander and Alex Toledo put the series in perspective, thinking back to the objectives in training camp. And they project forward to a likely second round matchup with free agent target (and likely 2-time MVP) Giannis Antetokounmpo. What is the most important factor in beating the Milwaukee Bucks?
