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.

Miami Heat: Embarrassed again, this time by the Pistons

It’s no secret the Miami Heat were very disappointing in the first game of the season, losing handily to the Minnesota Timberwolves 131-106. Greg Sylvander &amp; Sean Rochester review some key home opener blowouts from the past to see if history tells us anything about this team based off the opener.

Miami Heat: What does history tell us about Opening Night blowouts?

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2026/10/22/20/17e1d51e-e3bb-4897-b4d3-c127f02eb7f6_ami_heat_defense_in_opener___five_on_the_floor.mp3

There&#39;s been plenty of talk about how dynamic the Miami Heat defense would be this season, and there it was passive and porous in the opening loss to Minnesota. How much of this was the drop scheme? How much was on the players? And what will we see against Detroit. Ethan Skolnick and Brady Hawk discuss.

Why did the Miami Heat play that defense in the opener?

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2026/10/22/3/5643faaa-4621-4542-a7e8-f8e5c20ad48c_at_heat_postgame_show___five_on_the_floor_live.mp3

That went about as poorly as it could have. Giannis scored plenty in his first Miami Heat regular season game.... but the Heat&#39;s defense was subpar throughout against Anthony Edwards (45 points) and others, and then the offense collapsed also. Ethan Skolnick and Digital Adel recapped it live (an hour after the buzzer).  Sponsors: • <a href="http://InsuranceByLinnette.com" rel="nofollow">InsuranceByLinnette.com</a>• <a href="http://C-ArmAndStaffing.com" rel="nofollow">C-ArmAndStaffing.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!
