Heat Nation Gets Its FIRST LOOK! Best Moments From Red, White & Pink Night

Heat basketball is officially back home in Miami.

The Red, White & Pink Game gave Heat Nation its first opportunity to see this new-look team together at Kaseya Center—and while it's essentially a glorified practice, there were plenty of moments worth discussing.

On tonight's Battered Heat Fans, we're talking about the atmosphere surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bam Adebayo and this new Heat roster, some of our favorite moments from the night, the chemistry we're already seeing develop and why the vibes around this team feel different heading into the season.

We'll also discuss Gale Nelson's debut as the new Voice of the Heat, as he begins the difficult task of following the legendary Michael Baiamonte, and what we thought of the new sound inside Kaseya Center. Nelson is only the third PA announcer in franchise history.

Then it's time for the real basketball to resume. Miami hosts the New Orleans Pelicans Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. ET, giving us another opportunity to evaluate rotations, chemistry and how Erik Spoelstra plans to use this loaded roster.

The games don't count yet—but it certainly feels like a new era of Miami Heat basketball has begun.
