Five On The Floor: Miami Heat/NBA

The Miami Heat had what may be their highest quality victory all season winning 122-120 over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night at the Kasaya Center.

The Miami Heat played well, even without two key players, and had a lead for most of the game, until falling apart in the fourth quarter. It wasn't Jaylen Brown, but Anfernee Simons, who did the damage with 39 points. Ethan Skolnick, Greg Sylvander and Eternal Bast discuss the defeat, and why Kel'el Ware played so little again.Sponsors:• C-ArmAndStaffing.com• InsuranceByLinnette.com• PrizePicks.com (https://prizepicks.onelink.me/ivHR/FIVE)Follow Ethan, Alex and Brady's writing for Sports Illustrated here!• https://www.si.com/nba/heat/author/alex-tol• https://www.si.com/nba/heat/author/ethan-skolnick• https://www.si.com/nba/heat/author/brady-hawkJoin us on our Off The Floor Discord server for the most Heat anywhere!

As Bam Adebayo has endured one of the more prolonged offensive slumps of his seven seasons as a Miami Heat starter, Ethan Skolnick and Greg Sylvander go on the record about how the Heat should value him now -- and whether there's ever a situation that should get them to consider making him available.Sponsors:• InsuranceByLinnette.com• PrizePicks.comFollow Ethan, Alex and Brady's writing for Sports Illustrated here!• https://www.si.com/nba/heat/author/alex-tol• https://www.si.com/nba/heat/author/ethan-skolnick• https://www.si.com/nba/heat/author/brady-hawkJoin us on our Off The Floor Discord server for the most Heat anywhere!

With the Miami Heat slipping to a game over .500, and Bam Adebayo still struggling, Ethan Skolnick and Brady Hawk wonder whether Erik Spoelstra has maximized the roster -- or if there's more he can draw out of certain players and lineups.Sponsors:• C-ArmAndStaffing.com• InsuranceByLinnette.com• PrizePicks.comFollow Ethan, Alex and Brady's writing for Sports Illustrated here!• https://www.si.com/nba/heat/author/alex-tol• https://www.si.com/nba/heat/author/ethan-skolnick• https://www.si.com/nba/heat/author/brady-hawkJoin us on our Off The Floor Discord server for the most Heat anywhere!

We didn't get to see the first five take the floor in Chicago on Thursday, other than in warmups. But prior to the game's suspension due to excess moisture in United Center, Erik Spoelstra tipped his hand.

Over time, the Miami Heat have not shown much interest in Hawks guard Trae Young, other than when locking him up in elimination games. But now that it appears the Hawks will move Young for next-to-nothing, should the Heat get involved?
