In this week’s edition of Miami Heat Hot Topics, we will discuss a few different things such as Media Day, several player scenarios, and a few rough riders.

In today’s edition of Miami Heat Hot Topics, we will discuss quite a few of All U Can Heat’s stories from over the past week. We will specifically touch on how Media Day went, players mixing it up, insight on both the Jimmy Butler narrative and the Point Justise situation, and even t-shirts. Let’s dive right in!

3 Questions we would like to see answered during Media Day

A few early returns from Heat Media day

NBA Media days are often some of the most fun and exciting days of the year for teams and fanbases across the entire league. It gives the team and players a chance to come in, goof around a bit, get acquainted with one another, build comradery, and also get a few memorable photos out of the deal. For fans across the league, it is often a time of burgeoning hope about your team’s chances in the upcoming season.

While we went into media day wondering about the starting point guard scenario, the big man rotation, and how new players would be integrated into the swing of things, we would only get an answer to one of those questions. We did get an answer on the point guard situation and although we are no more informed on the other two questions than we were prior to media day, we did leave out knowing how Udonis Haslem is viewed by this team and how Coach Spo feels about his unit and this upcoming season.

Forecast on how Justise might be used

The talks of the summer for Miami Heat fans have mainly revolved around two things, anything Jimmy Butler and will Justise Winslow be the starting point guard for this team. While it appears that Winslow might not be the starting point for this team, he will have his times to make plays for others.

3 players most likely to mix it up when called for

It isn’t quite the NFL, but the NBA is still a pretty physical league. While most of this physicality and physical expression comes within the confines of the game and on the court in the play itself, sometimes it doesn’t. We discuss three members of the Miami Heat that if you have issues with them on the court within the game, you may just want to leave them there, on the court.

A bond and brotherhood appears to be Teeing off

An important element to any good team of any sort is a certain relationship, siblinghood, and comradery. While these types of relationships can be built upon anything, oftentimes the smallest and simplest things mean the most and go the furthest towards helping to build these relationships. For the members of the Miami Heat, it is through the use of simple cloth and garments.

This false Jimmy Butler narrative is being destroyed

There has been tons said about Jimmy Butler since coming over to the Miami Heat, but that is par for the course considering his tenure in Minnesota. Regardless of any of that which has been said though, one thing is becoming much clearer. Most of that stuff simply isn’t true.

We will see you soon for the next edition of Miami Heat Hot Topics!
