Locked On Heat - Daily Podcast On The Miami Heat11 Aug

The NBA Just Sent a HUGE Message About the Miami Heat

The NBA just sent a pretty clear message: The Miami Heat are back in the national spotlight. Wes Goldberg reacts to the first major announcements from the 2026-27 NBA schedule, with Miami landing marquee games during both Opening Week and on Christmas Day.

What does another Christmas appearance mean for a Heat team that has historically thrived on the holiday? Wes looks at Miami's Christmas history, the renewed rivalry with Boston and why that matchup carries extra juice after the Celtics swept the season series last year.

Then, zooming out, Wes explains what these national TV assignments tell us about how the NBA views the new-look Heat. Miami is one of just 10 teams featured during both Opening Week and Christmas, putting Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bam Adebayo and the Heat firmly back among the league's biggest attractions.
