Locked On Heat

Can the Miami Heat look back on the 2015 Atlanta Hawks as inspiration for the upcoming season? Wes Goldberg and David Ramil talk about what made that 60-win Hawks team special, and what lessons the Heat can take from them and apply to this roster. Then they continue their 25 of 25 series with a look at Shaquille O'Neal, whose arrival was the turning point for the Miami Heat franchise. They explore Shaq's monumental impact on the Heat, from his dominant 2004-05 season to the birth of a championship culture. The hosts analyze how O'Neal's presence elevated Dwyane Wade and reshaped the NBA landscape. They also dive into fascinating "what-if" scenarios, including how a healthy Wade in 2005 could have altered both his and Shaq's legacies. 0:00 Intro1:30 Can the Heat emulate 2015 Hawks?14:00 Shaq's impact on validating Heat franchise32:05 What if: Shaq's exit and Wade's 2005 injury Become a Locked On Heat Insider on Subtext! https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonheat  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!5-Hour ENERGYEn
