After a strong showing in Miami's first preseason game, can Caleb Martin become a steady rotation player this season? Will he be the latest project for Miami's proven development system? And ESPN's Zach Lowe looked at the Heat's chances this offseason and he's not as optimistic about their ability to contend this year.

Miami's offense looked unstoppable in a preseason win over the Hawks...but will it still work with Jimmy Butler in the lineup? Or should Kyle Lowry accept an off-ball role in order to let Jimmy continue running the offense? Plus, the results of the latest NBA GM survey and if the Heat gave up to quickly on Precious Achiuwa, who looked solid in his Toronto Raptors debut. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Kyle Lowry! Making his first start as a member of the Heat, Lowry led the team with a high-octane offense that was dominant on both ends of the floor, making the right pass, igniting the fast break and fitting seamlessly with his new team.

Before the season kicks off next week, I take an early look at some of the issues and narratives building up before the start of camp! Erik Spoelstra has been to the Finals five times and has never won Coach of the Year. Is next season his best chance to win it? Plus, why the national media seems to have overlooked Miami's impressive offseason before I debate if we're reading too much into Tyler Herro's apparent growth this offseason and how that will translate once the games begin.

Heat Culture is everywhere. On shirts, on Twitter, and in the hearts and minds of Miami Heat fans all over the world. But does it really exist?
