• Bosh played 31 minutes at center against the Pistons and 76ers. The bloggers discuss whether he could be the solution at center. The Miami Heat Index provided some insight into this discussion with this article.
• Last week, the bloggers discussed Mike Miller vs. James Jones as the Heat's backup swingman off the bench. The conversation continued on Sunday and they explained the differences in the defensive numbers reported in this article by Martinez.
• The Knicks and Celtics are sliding in the East, Tim Duncan's down and the Lakers are surging in the West. The bloggers gave their predictions for which teams the Heat would have to beat in order to win the franchise's second title.
• The podcast ends with a discussion of whether the Heat Dancers can win their fifth title in the NBA Dance Team Bracket Tournament.
