The Miami Heat Beat Podcast

Another tale of two shows, featuring Giancarlo Navas (host), Brian Goins (producer), Alex Toledo (co-host), and Jack Alfonso (co-host). Gianni's Toronto Raptors crusade has taken a hit after Monday night's Game 5 loss to Golden State in Toronto. He tries to convince everyone in plain sight that Kyle Lowry is not to blame for Toronto's choke job. (1:50). We spend the second half of the show debating the latest rumors and reports about Miami's "potential" draft board, including NBA Draft analysis on a few prospect names (P.J. Washington and Brandon Clarke) who we've heard may be high on Miami's board at the No. 13 slot. (20:30).
