Examining the New-Look Miami Heat with Couper Moorhead, Jayson Tatum Returns + Unrivaled Recap

We have a fun episode of The Dunker Spot coming your way!

Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones are joined by Couper Moorhead (HEAT.com, After The Buzzer podcast) to talk all things Miami Heat. They explore Miami's drastic shift offensively, their still-elite defense (and zone) usage, and bring much-needed nuance to the conversations surrounding Bam Adebayo, Kel'el Ware, Tyler Herro and more.

After that, Steve and Nekias discuss the imminent return of Jayson Tatum. They get into what he adds to the fold, what they'll be looking for in his debut, and the (annoying) conversations around his return.

Finally, the guys give a salute to Mist BC for winning this year's Unrivaled championship. In light of the game ending with a made free throw, they also discuss 1) whether that should be allowed moving forward and 2) potential tweaks in the case that it isn't.
