Scary Terry Comes to Miami but the Heat Continue Their Losing Streak. Whatās Going On With the Heat?
The Heat made a major move, trading Kyle Lowry for Terry Rozier, but the losses have continued to pile up to 7 straight. First, I talk about the Rozier acquisition and what it means for the Heat on and off the court. Then, I grit my teeth going through last week's losses to the Grizzlies, Celtics, Knicks, and Suns (8:20). Afterwards, I again ask what's going on with this losing streak for Miami (22:51). Last, I finish up looking ahead to next week's games against the Kings, Wizards, and Clippers (34:31). Next episode, trade deadline targets and maybe some All-Star talk.
