Podcast: Heat observations from first two playoff games. And the Adebayo DPOY conversation
With the NBA playoffs in full swing, there was a lot to talk about this week.
On this week’s episode of the Miami Herald’s Heat Check podcast, Anthony Chiang and David Wilson broke down where the Miami Heat’s first-round playoff series against the Atlanta Hawks stands after two games. The Heat holds a 2-0 lead with the series moving to Atlanta for the next two games.
▪ What did Heat star Jimmy Butler prove with his 45-point performance in Game 2?
▪ How is the Heat’s defense holding down a quality Hawks offense led by Trae Young?
▪ Is the Heat on its way to a four-game sweep of the Hawks?
Chiang and Wilson also spent time discussing the Defensive Player of the Year voting that did not include Heat center Bam Adebayo as a finalist. Was Adebayo snubbed? Chiang feels strongly about this one.
As always, please continue to rate, review and subscribe with episodes continuing to come each week. Thanks for listening and enjoy the playoffs.
