The second episode of AllUCanHeat On Air, the debut Miami Heat Podcast for AllUCanHeat, is here.

Week two of the AllUCanHeat On Air podcast is finally here.

(In case you missed the first one, AUCH On Air is a weekly podcast covering the latest Miami Heat news regarding what’s happening with the team both on and off the court. Each episode includes a recap of the previous week too, as well as a preview for what fans can expect, moving forward.)

Your favorites Heat Podcasters, Rahmeaun RahmingImran Ebrahim and Ivan Mora, come at you this week with more of their takes on the ups and down’s from the last week of Miami Heat Basketball.

After Miami went 2-2 the week prior, the crew runs through the positives (Hassan Whiteside, anyone?) and negatives of this past few games, including another dissection of the horrible wing defense the Heat unfortunately keep pushing on a nightly basis. On the offensive end, the crew discusses whether turnovers can really be the fix-all solution head coach Erik Spoelstra is looking for, which turns into a debate on positionless basketball, versus using traditional positions.

We also start off a new pick ’em game in the format of Hosts versus Guests, as the crew picks this upcoming week’s games, including a battle versus the Jimmy Butler-less Philadelphia 76ers, and a homecoming for LeBron James with his new Los Angeles Lakers.

(Stay tuned for a particularly heated take from one of our hosts, involving a certain center-on-center beef in one of the games this week.)

Speaking of the 76ers, the guys run through their analysis of the trade and whether the Heat should’ve offered more for Butler, as the heated debate of “potential versus now” also comes to fruition.

That wasn’t the only debate for the week either, as the guys find themselves at odds when it comes to a particular Twitter topic running through #HeatNation…

(Still not sold? At least stay for the Carmelo Anthony to South Florida argument.)

Next. The Good, Bad and Miami Heat Culture: Consistency lacks in losses. dark

Episode two is in the books.
