Miami Heat

Podcast: Exploring whether the Heat’s 58-win pace is sustainable. And our All-Star picks.

The Miami Heat reached the midway point of the season at a 58-win pace. Not many expected that.

But is it sustainable?

In this week’s episode of the Heat Check podcast, David Wilson and Anthony Chiang, the Miami Herald’s Heat beat writer, each offer one reason this pace can continue and one reason it can’t.

Also, Wilson and Chiang break down the resurgence of Heat forward James Johnson, who finished Monday’s win over the Sacramento Kings with 22 points on 9-of-11 shooting, six rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes.

They close out the episode by revealing their All-Star rosters for each conference. Hint: The Heat duo of Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo received serious consideration.
