On Wednesday, the winless Miami Heat looked like the unbeaten Miami Heat en route to its first win of the season over Southeast Division rival Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena who suffered its first back-to-back home loss of the season on its first game of a back-to-back to resume on Thursday versus Cleveland.

Reminiscent of the Houston Rockets series earlier this week, ATL managed to start slow, struggle with MIA's size on the interior and failed to match the intensity/energy. Through it all, leading the way to its second half surge was rookie, Kingston Flemings.

Between matchups versus Jabari Smith & Alperen Sengun and Bam Adebayo & Giannis Antetokounmpo, what are your realistic expectations and necessary adjustments versus Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley and the Cleveland Cavaliers?

Was Jalen Johnson's assignment to defend Giannis Antetokounmpo the right decision?

Should the emergence and standout performance of rookie, Kingston Flemings change anything as it relates to time shared within the rotation?
