Podcast: A preview of Friday’s Heat-Bulls win-or-go-home game and what could be ahead
This is not where the Miami Heat expected to be, facing a win-or-go-home game just to clinch the Eastern Conference’s No. 8 playoff seed.
But this is reality.
On a new episode of the Miami Herald’s Heat Check podcast, Anthony Chiang and David Wilson discussed Friday night’s play-in showdown between the Heat and Chicago Bulls. The winner gets the East’s No. 8 playoff seed and the loser’s season is over.
How does the Heat match up against the Bulls? Does Chicago enter the game with a clear-cut identity that Miami is still searching for? How much should be taken from the Bulls’ 3-0 sweep of their regular-season series against the Heat?
Also, Chiang and Wilson took a quick look back at Tuesday’s ugly loss to the Atlanta Hawks that put the Heat in this must-win situation.
The episode ends with the return of the Florida Panthers Minute. Is Matthew Tkachuk the best professional sports athlete in South Florida?
