Chapter 2: Why is Tony frustrated with the Dolphins' offense despite their win?
But I got to think that most arenas do not have something that has lasted three and a half decades.
Yeah. No, it's impressive. I think a guy in his position, the PA announcer, I think gets overlooked. I don't think he's appreciated as much as he should be. Maybe I'm wrong. Oh, I think he is here. Everyone knows the whole shtick. I think he's very appreciated down here. Yeah, Dos Minutos, you know, I get it.
Wow, that is dismissive of a legendary voice in this market. You just were really indifferent about it.
I am saying I don't think Heat fans appreciate him and will miss him as much as 35 years of service warrants. I may be wrong. You're doing that.
Can we put that on the poll? Dos Minutos, yeah, I get it.
It was really dismissive. If I were talking to Mike Biamonte right now and he's like, yeah, Cody's 50-year career at the Herald. Words. I get it.
No, no. You know what? If Mike Biamonte were right here, Biamonte, I'm sorry, unintentional faux pas there, I would say to him directly, do you think that fans fully appreciate the career you have had? Because I just think the PA announcer is background noise that everyone assumes and takes for granted.
During a timeout yesterday, Mike B addressed the crowd after they played a tribute video to him to say, like, after this season, I will no longer be here. And the audible no from the crowd was startling. I frankly was surprised and like so happy for him because it's what he deserves.
Miami has very few things like this, never mind sports, period. Mike feels some of this on the University of Miami campus. What used to be Mark Light Stadium and just Mark Light Stadium is a corner shop where the people who have been going there for 35 years have an allegiance to it that's unusual. The Heat fan who knows and appreciates Mike Biamonti?

Chapter 3: What changes have been made to the Heat's offensive strategy this season?
Who had the more embarrassing play? Was it Andy Dalton or was it Spencer Rattler?
where you're just throwing it to one of those power forwards that play defensive end they're catching it and they're stiff arming you you're missing the tackle and then they're just running into the end zone i don't know when epinesa caught the ball he juked somebody out of their shoes with a one two and i think it was andy tolton who flew like six yards out the other way uh
The plays that stuck with me yesterday were in that Bengals-Jets game, but I don't want to start there. That was a good game. It was. It was the only good one. I want to get to the funniest thing of the sports weekend, and I want to get to the Hurricanes as well, but I want to start, surprisingly, with the Miami Heat are going to be good offensively. Hell yeah. Norman Powell.
If they're good offensively, then I know they're going to be good because I know they're going to be good defensively. They're always good defensively.
When do we get to sit? It's only three games. So how much of a sample size do we need to say, OK, the Heat are going to play fast and they're going to be able to score?
No, but obviously they're going to play fast. Like, I don't know if any of that stuff works in the playoffs, but obviously they're going to be a fun team to watch offensively. I think we can state that after three games because they look totally different offensively. This is without Tyler Hero, and they've changed. It's not that the ball's going in.
They're changing the way that they're doing things, and Norman Powell's really good. They don't call any plays.
Did you hear that after, like, I think it was after the second game where they won in Memphis. And they said, Spoden Colony plays. They just run up and down the court.
Against Orlando, they played the fastest game I've ever seen them play. Then they scored a buck 40 again at Memphis. They scored a buck 40.

Chapter 4: How does the departure of Mike Biamonti affect the Heat community?
The last time they beat the Knicks was when Terry Rozier had a, I believe, heat high. 34 points in that game at the end of the 2024 season. Under the jail.
Yes, let's say that. Can we? When Bam Adebayo is saying, oh, we all stand behind Terry. He's our brother. You got to say that, I guess. But he was dead wood, dead weight on the end of the bench. They were dying to get rid of this guy. So the FBI got rid of them, got rid of him for them. You know what?
I'm glad you mentioned that. You're right. They have to say that, I guess. Like, we support him. He's our brother. But here's the thing. My first thought when I heard Bam say that, and granted, it doesn't appear to be that he was doing anything with rigging games with the Heat. It appears to be something that happened with the Hornets, but... Do you have to support him?
And the reason that I say that is because if he's rigging games, why would you support him? Like that's, it's the worst thing you could do if you're a teammate. So like that kind of bothered me when they said, and you know what, the same thing with the Blazers too is, oh, we support him. We love him. Well, hold on a second. If he's rigging games for you to lose, why would you support this person?
Well, Chauncey Billups wasn't rigging games, or basketball games. It's alleged that he was rigging poker games.
Well, and he was passing along information as far as who they're going to play, not play, because they're tanking games. Co-conspirator number eight did. We don't know if that was Chauncey Billups, although... Who the hell was it if it wasn't Chauncey Billings?
No, it was.
But in Rozier's case, why would you support someone who is actively trying to hurt the thing that you're making a living off of?
Why does Cody say you have to say that? You don't have to actually say that.

Chapter 5: What are the controversies surrounding Terry Rozier's situation?
I can go either way on that one. But the NBA doesn't let another team know that we're investigating. We hit a roadblock. So it's kind of open. We can't do anything about it. But this player may be investigated by the FBI, and the Heat winds up having to give up a first-round pick. Now, granted, they gave up Kyle Lowry. I mean, that's a good day no matter what.
But they still gave up a first-round pick. But, Zaz, here's the thing. So the NBA is going to tell the Heat, hey, by the way, there's a little bit of an issue. We had a red flag come up with one of the gambling partners that says that Terry Rozier may have been allegedly fixing this game. That's right.
So you're going to just uncover an entire massive investigation to the Heat, to another team, when you have it siloed with the Hornets. The Hornets knew? I know, but you have it siloed there. And now all of a sudden, you're going to let another team know, and then that team's going to tell another team, and then blah, blah, blah. But they didn't actually clear this player.
Like, there's an open, essentially. They took him out of the season. He was done with a fake injury. That's debatable.
That's what, Windhorst says that the information on this is somewhat cloudy because Shams reported the NBA cleared him, and the NBA had not cleared him. And so there are some things here that are still a little bit murky. But can we talk about the product on the court for a second?
Oh, it's a good product.
Is Tyler Hero going to foul this up? Because you're doing the Terry Rozier thing. Is Tyler Hero going to make this better? It's going to be something worth watching because it's inescapable how good they look without Tyler Hero offensively. And he is going to come back.
And there's been some questions for the entire time that he's been here about how good he can be, how good he can be at the end of games. He can get his own shot at the end of games. I still think the Heat are going to have trouble at the end of close games playing this way.
it is though. That right there is where Tyler Hero is going to help. We saw it at the end of the game in Orlando where they really couldn't score the last few minutes. And we saw it for a small stretch last night as well. So having an extra guy who could create and make junk shots when the defense is tied up, that's where he's going to help.

Chapter 7: How does the Dolphins' performance impact fan expectations?
Historic day.
I'm sorry to report. You finally capitulated on the quarterback. Yes, I'm sorry to report. Kirk Cousins, dead to me.
Okay, a couple of things there. I guess we're not going to start on the University of Miami since Kirk Cousins is now dead to Tony. Kirk Cousins is making $45 million a year. That is the kind of money that you give Micah Parsons. That's the kind of money you give TJ Watt. That's a backup quarterback making $45 million a year.
And once you take away Drake London and have him only throwing to a tight end, oh, look, Bijan Robinson is having the fourth worst game of his career. And all of a sudden, a terrible run defense can stop the run because they're not afraid at all of $45 million Kirk Cousins throwing it to Kyle Pitts.
What is this league? I mean, when you miss your wide receiver one and your QB one, the deck is stacked.
That's a good point because Harlan yelled on the waddle touchdown. He yelled, wow, what is going on?
I love that call.
And what is going on is exactly that. It's QB1 and wide receiver one are out, and all of a sudden B. John Robinson is not one of the top three running backs in the league. He can't get anything going because the Dolphins can suddenly stop the run when every back in the league and every backup running back in the league has gone for 100 yards against them.
But B. John Robinson, who's every bit as good as Jonathan Taylor and Saquon Barkley, can't get anything going in that game because it's Kirk Cousins to Kyle Pitts.

Chapter 8: What are the future prospects for the Miami Heat this season?
There's no greater example of watching Aaron Rodgers age than seeing him on third and 10 being a quarterback who I don't trust to convert a third and 10.
It's such a scared league now when it comes to offense.
Okay, but it worked yesterday. When they're throwing a screen pass to HN in space, that's what he's turning into. The last two touchdown passes were 43 and 20 yards. Long plays. Both were screen passes. Both were catch and runs. It was working. And by the way, Atlanta went into that game with the number one rated pass defense in the NFL in terms of fewest passing yards per game allowed.
Part of that granted, you know, because teams tend not to be passing against them.
Well, but also, like, Dolphins didn't light them up in the air. He threw it for 200 yards.
That's true.
No, that's fair. They were efficient.
Wow. What is going on? That was when the Dolphins got to 24 points. Kevin Harlan has watched a lot of football. And Waddle running in the open field was something that totally baffled him.
Those jingle bells remind me that holiday basketball is here. And when stars like Kobe White, Jalen Williams, and Tyler Hero start cooking, Rav King's sportsbook and official sports betting partner of the NBA is where you want to be. I'll keep Singing that song when I do this read, I can't help it. But don't forget, DraftKings has your back with early exit.
