What went wrong for the Heat in San Francisco

After a fast start, the Heat fizzled against Golden State, as Steph Curry got going in the third quarter. Not a great Giannis game, but others were to blame too. Is this team headed for a shakeup? Ethan and Alex went live after the loss.

As the Heat play Golden State tonight, there&#39;s a lot of talk about whether Erik Spoelstra should sub out the struggling Andrew Wiggins. Ethan Skolnick and Greg Sylvander debate what that would mean, and if not now, then when should it happen?  Sponsors: • <a href="http://ericrubenstein.com/" rel="nofollow">EricRubenstein.com</a>• Sign up for <a href="https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/HMA" rel="nofollow">PrizePicks</a> with code HMA and get $150 in lineups if your first $5 lineup wins!<a href="https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/FRSN" rel="nofollow">https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/FRSN</a> Follow Ethan, Alex and Brady&#39;s writing for Sports Illustrated here!• <a href="https://www.si.com/nba/heat/author/ethan-skolnick" rel="nofollow">https://www.si.com/nba/heat/author/ethan-skolnick</a>• <a href="https://www.si.com/nba/heat/author/alex-tol" rel="nofollow">https://www.si.com/nba/heat/author/alex-tol</a>• <a href="https://www.si.com/nba/heat/author/brady-hawk" rel="nofollow">https://www.si.com/nba/heat/author/brady-hawk</a> Join us on our<a href="http://discord.gg/5OTF" rel="nofollow"> Off The Floor Discord server</a> for the most Heat anywhere!

Would a starting lineup change be "panic?"

It took overtime, and a lot more than expected from Klay Thompson and Bam Adebayo, but the Miami Heat overcame awful second quarter defense to beat the Clippers, 117-116, on Thompson&#39;s 3-pointer with 1 second left. Ethan Skolnick and Alex Toledo went live after the win.

Any good signs for the Heat in Charlotte?

No one expected this start. The Miami Heat fell way behind an undermanned Charlotte Hornets team that had just lost by 47 on its home floor -- and after tying the game late, let it slip away. Giannis fouled out, Tim Hardaway Jr. couldn&#39;t guard anyone and lots of other stuff went wrong. Ethan, Alex and Greg dissect another defeat.
