Run it Back! NBA Week in Review, 2025-26 Miami Heat - Week 15

Run It back Week 15 Miami Heat === Speaker: [00:00:00] Week 15 of the 20 25, 26 NB. A season is over, which means it's time to run it back. This is run it back NBA Weekend Review Heat edition. I'm Eric Labrador at thePeachBasket.net covering the Miami Heat. This is the show where we recapped the week that was in the NBA. And then highlight the marqui matchup for the week to come For the Miami Heat, we start with our power rankings, the only objective top 10 NBA rankings anywhere. You can read more about how we get to these rankings and see the entire list@thepeachbasket.net. Let's take a look at where the heat land at the end of week 15. They dropped out of the top 10, but really in their two and two week they did. Beat the hell out of Phoenix. And Phoenix is ranked number four in the power rankings. He blew them out of the arena with gobs [00:01:00] of offensive rebounding. But let's see if next week, maybe with some trade sparkles of from the trade deadline that he can improve in the power rankings. Now we go to the review of the week for the Miami Heat. The heat went two and two. Like I said, they beat the hell out of Phoenix. They beat Chicago, but then they lost to Orlando and Chicago this past Saturday night. The heater windless against Orlando. This season they have no answer for the magic's, physicality and style of play. The magic dominated Miami and have really just made that take that simple. There's no other X's and O's or details to note Orlando beating Miami four in four games this season. They have one more game coming up. Good luck. He the heat beat [00:02:00] Chicago in Chicago, but then lost to them last night in Miami. They beat him by 50 tonight, but that's another story. Io de Sumu and Madis Boles in Miami yesterday, they scored 11 points and 10 points in the fourth quarter. The game was tied at 1 0 6 and then de sumu, just that he didn't have an answer for him. And then Madis boles like he's done to the heat in the past couple of years. Just started knocking down every kind of shot and the heat had no answer on offense. They went and they stole that game. From the heat they will probably end up playing each other again for the third straight season in a row in the play and tournament. With the right to go and play either the be the eighth or the seventh seat. Now moving on to our standout segment. Damn out Abi now. There was on some shows takes on [00:03:00] and especially he beat writer Ra Windman, talking about the possibility of trading BAM at abi. I'll give you this take right now. If the heat ever trade, bam at a bio, they will become a 15 to 25 win team per season. Hey, I'm at Bio and this is on sp. For pro, probably putting too much responsibility on him. Defensive responsibility. Fabio is a unicorn. He handles all the defensive responsibilities for the heat. He is a glue guy. He does all the dirty work and he has star talent. So as a fan, you wonder why can't he just do the scoring? Because when you're a two-way player, like Bam is. You get tired from playing a hundred percent on offense and on defense. Now you take ba out of the equation and then you have the [00:04:00] suspect defense that you've been seeing. Sometimes for the heat this season, SPO should, and he's probably been looking for with Kelle, where somebody to take those defensive responsibilities off of BA as he should, and he's probably been trying to find that. But that hasn't happened yet. So in the meantime and BAM does have a streak of 20 point games going this past week, he led in average points, three point shots made and total rebounds, offensive rebounds, and defensive rebounds. The other one in our standout stats is Jaime Haquez Jr. This guy is his physicality, the bully ball, the footwork, and. He is a damn good point guard. He led the team in assist Donovan. Mitchell's been injured. Donovan Mitchell is usually the, the high guy in assist for the he. But Haque led the he and assist and field goals [00:05:00] per game, although where did contribute in the blocks category averaging one block per game. But these two guys they're cornerstones of the team. Moving on to the marquee matchup segment. I'll tell you some advance. The marquee matchup this week is the trade deadline. The, he, there couldn't be much more chatter or links to the he and Giannis at another there's been trade speculation, trade packages galore for Janis. I won't even go, but it's all over the internet on possible trade packages for Giannis. But Giannis is can be passive at times. He's all but broken up with the bucks. The only thing he has to do is say it but he says indirectly. But that is the marquee matchup. This coming week. The heat have also been linked in trade talk. To Ja Moran from Memphis. At first it looked like [00:06:00] that was a strong possibility, but then earlier this week, late last week Jah said that he didn't want to leave Memphis and he didn't want to go and get traded anywhere. So don't know what to do with that. If the heat are able to swing a package for Giannis. By the trade deadline, it would be an 180 degree change for the heat this season. It would be like if the heat were in an arcade game and they got a mega super power up that would allow them to get to the boss level. Other than that, they would go to the playing level. So moving on to our full court press, or what I like to call the viral pressure segment of the show. Kal Ware in an article about possible trade speculation of him going somewhere. Kal Ware is a young guy. A lot of people, they see the size, they see the weight and they think it should be [00:07:00] academic. He should be rebounding like a machine. The point is that, and in my experience in being a manager in my, private working life. Sometimes people will be a certain age, but then they play or act either younger or older. With their work ethic and their attitude and approach. Kal Ware is. The former he acts younger and he's trying to get it, but he just doesn't see it yet. And if he does get traded, he gets traded, but he's he's in the article, he's taking it humbly and saying, Hey this is the league. If what I, if I get traded, I have to adjust. The other one is again, Andrew Wiggins to the Lakers Trade Speculation that is going nuts, especially with the trade of Deandre Hunter that he was speculated to go to the Lakers. Some one trade package was Wiggins to the Lakers and ery, Hahira and some other stuff [00:08:00] to the heat. Also Wiggins going back to the Warriors. So let's see what happens with that. Finally another hot article on the internet is the heat getting off of the Terry Rossier contract. The NBA. They really messed up on this one that the heat pulled off the trade for Terry Rossier last season, and they did not tell the heat about the gambling. News with Terry Rossier. They gotta give him, they gotta allow the heat to get rid of this contract. Come on, NBA Chief. So with all that, let's see what happens. We can be week 15 of the NBA season is in the books. Join us next week after week 16 when we run it back again. All right. It's great to be back with everybody and and let's keep going.
