00:00Yeah, he have another home game fall to the New York Knicks last night.
00:04116-107, Carl Anthony Towns.
00:11Put up 44 on Miami, lit their ass on fire.
00:15Yeah, can I ask you just a, this is a basic question of heat basketball.
00:23Yep.
00:24If I take Tyler's numbers.
00:29Yep.
00:30And put them on Jimmy.
00:34Does the team look better because Jimmy did it?
00:37And I say this because every, it seems like every time Jimmy is that dude, the whole team
00:43plays better.
00:45But if it's somebody else, right.
00:48And I was thinking that last night.
00:50I don't want to look.
00:51Tyler had about as precise as you can have.
00:57So it's tough to like say that, but there's definitely, I will say this dude, there's
01:03definitely this whole new offense that they've rolled out.
01:06Um, they beaten the two cute teams, but the two teams that are going to do something in
01:11the East turd quarters, bend them around and man, I just, you know, your two top dogs just
01:19kind of gone laissez faire through the first, through the, uh, the two games.
01:23And I feel like those good teams are like, yeah, let the, let the little guard shoot.
01:28Let's see what's going on.
01:30I think that's where, and you kind of, um, now that you mentioned it, it's kind of when
01:39you play a team with two stars and they have two different, you know, theories is you,
01:48some teams say, let the big dogs eat.
01:53Let's stop the other guys from being big.
01:55Well, let's just say, let all the other guys eat and let's stop there.
02:00They're stars.
02:01Yeah.
02:02I mean, like, let's look at it like this.
02:03Carl Anthony towns took 25 shots.
02:06Jalen Brunson took 18 shots.
02:09Jimmy and bam together took 16 shots, right?
02:13That's now what part of that is?
02:17Because somebody else was cooking or what part of that was, it just looked like at times
02:22they weren't just like, they were just out there and got into foul trouble.
02:27I mean, you know, like, look, bam had a bad game.
02:30I'm not going to, you know, give him the full pass because I thought Carl Anthony towns
02:34cooked his ass.
02:35Um, lover boy, it was one of the eight.
02:38It was one of the few times that bam has played a basketball game.
02:44And I ever cared that the other guy was bigger, right?
02:49It just seemed like he was shooting over him.
02:52He like, it was weird because I've never really, no matter how big the guy was, bam was gardening.
02:59You never felt that bam was too small.
03:01The one that pissed me off with him.
03:04And I don't know if this was, I don't know if this was a product of the play call or
03:07what, but there was a point where he, he got going there in the third quarter and he got
03:13it down to get his third foul.
03:14And then try to even mention it.
03:15It's like, man, you let them off the hook with that fadeaway.
03:17Like keep, keep driving past his ass and get to the rim.
03:21Right.
03:22Um, you know, I don't know that bam has been off to a really, really slow start.
03:28He's scoring 10 points a game.
03:29He's putting up like dream on green offensive numbers, but also he's not getting any, he's
03:35not really getting a lot of shots either.
03:37I mean, you just said he triple single.
03:40Yeah.
03:42Yeah.
03:43You know, triple single.
03:44I mean, it's, it, that's, and, and, and what happened to the, to letting the fly baby.
03:49Like he, he's like getting to the top of the key there.
03:52And like you could, right.
03:55Yeah.
03:56I've seen a lot of that.
03:57I've seen a lot of that because everybody has the attitude of a pass up this good shot
04:01for a better shot.
04:02And then you get no shot.
04:03Right.
04:04And you see it, you see it a lot with the offense, especially when it's struggling.
04:11Yeah.
04:12It's like, you know what, when, when I see if I'm, if I'm small and I see that I'm saying
04:19from this point on until we get back on track, Terry Rozier handles the ball because he will
04:28be aggressive or Tyler Tyler will be aggressive.
04:33But some of these guys dribbling the ball up that, you know, they just ain't feeling
04:38it.
04:39So look, those guys are not, those guys are not being shy and shooting the ball.
04:43Like that's for sure.
04:44But I think that, I don't know, man, I don't know what the recipe, I think Spode knows
04:48is like, I'm not getting banned the basketball enough.
04:50I know.
04:51And Jimmy, like, you know, classic, classic Jimmy on a, on a Wednesday night, it's like,
04:56man, am I here tonight?
04:57Nah.
04:58No.
04:59And, and, and, and if I may, think of all the players that Pat Riley has been associated
05:10with that probably drives him crazy more than anything.
05:15A hundred percent.
05:16Right?
05:17Like, like the, and, and, and it's our fault.
05:24What?
05:25It's our fault.
05:27Why?
05:28It's everybody, it's everybody's fault for, no, I'm putting it on all of us because we
05:36came up with playoff, Jimmy, and we came up with, don't worry about it, it's playoffs.
05:42Right?
05:43Don't worry about it.
05:44He'll crank it up.
05:46Don't worry about it.
05:47It's January.
05:48We still haven't learned.
05:49Nope.
05:50Nope.
05:51Nope.
05:52We still haven't learned.
05:53That's disgusting.
05:54So he also has, this is, and this is a very odd thing.
05:58He can't beat Carl Anthony towns.
06:00His teams.
06:01It's a very weird thing.
06:03Ever since the whole timber wolves debacle, he doesn't beat Carl Anthony towns.
06:08His teams.
06:09In fact, I think that he'd have had more success when Jimmy misses a timber wolves game than
06:13when he's there.
06:14I think they're one in five over his wolves heat tenure.
06:20And then now you add this.
06:22I think it's one in one for six since he's joined the heat.
06:25He can't be Carl Anthony towns.
06:27And he's like, I saw this video of him yesterday, like completely blew the guy off.
06:30Like Carly towns was like trying to shake his hand in the middle of the start tip off
06:34walks right past him.
06:37And for whatever reason, he can't beat that dude anymore.
06:40Like, or just like ever since the whole breakup dudes had his number.
06:46I don't know what the numbers were in Philadelphia that one year, but I know what the Miami heat,
06:49the Miami heat never beat the timber wolves, especially when Jimmy played.
06:54And now it's carried over to the Knicks 44 points.
06:59Crazy, very strange.
07:01Tyler did have a great game.
07:03No hate on it.
07:04He had a great game.
07:05Terry took him a while to get going.
07:08He had a couple of big threes that put it within striking distance, but you felt like
07:12in that game, I felt like at halftime it was going to go, which was going to be the next
07:17guy to step up.
07:18So it was basically, it was basically Tyler and Kat going shot for shot.
07:22And then Jaylen Brunson, super slow off to start, I think he had like four points in
07:27the first half and bam and Jimmy.
07:29So it's like, what second guy was going to show up?
07:31It was Brunson.
07:32The other two guys.
07:33Yep.
07:34And then like, I don't, it's one of these things where, yes, you know, that we're going
07:39to do offense.
07:40They got to get things together, but then also like, no, no, no, no, no, I'm not buying
07:44it.
07:45I'm not buying it.
07:46I'm not buying it.
07:52It's one.
07:53There could be that school thought that they're probably thinking in that building.
07:57However, this thing about losing to real East teams in their building or just real basketball
08:04teams in general is, is now getting on into year two of a trend.
08:11They sink, they stink in that building.
08:13They've stunk in that building.
08:15quality teams and the other team's quality team, their stars show up. Heats teams nowhere
08:23against the teams that are, you know, the Pistons, the Hornets, you know, the, the,
08:29the Hawks. Okay. Bulls, but Knicks, Celtics, sons, magic. Now calves, you can't trust them.
08:47You told me they were better, dude. What do you mean? You told me they were going to win
08:51the in season tournament. I said that they should aim for that. No, that's not what you
08:56said. That's what I said. No, that's what I said. I already crowned us. I'd be shocked
09:00if Jimmy played every game. I am with that. You told me he was gonna, I mean, he has played
09:06every game. No, no. I mean, in season tournament, what about all star weekend? I don't know.
09:13Can't do that no more though. I know it season was a season to do all that last season was
09:20everybody do what you want because we made it to the championship even though everyone's
09:23everyone. But then we learned, Oh, I guess we can't just do it. Let's get back to the
09:27Pat Riley regimen. Shall we? And now it seems like we're the same team we were last year.
09:32How did this happen? I mean, like, look, the, the third quarter collapse thing is, is a
09:37problem and it's, and it's reminiscent of your starting lineup has a real problem. Um,
09:43like the numbers on it, I saw our boy Rohan Nacarny from NBC sports, he's called heat
09:48starting five is now a minus 25.6 in a net 58 minutes. It's the worst lineup in the NBA
09:54with at least 50 minutes played so far this season. Um, it's not something that is really
09:58bit them on the start of games, but coming out of halftime, it's, it's, it, there's,
10:05there's something not working there. There's something not working there. And then with
10:08the band thing, you know, I don't know what to do with that because you know, one thing
10:13that band doesn't get that Jimmy does get Jimmy is very good with that second unit.
10:18And he kind of gets his own time to get going and get the, the show rolling and dictate
10:24everything and get the ball in his hands. So, you know, as much as it's Tyler Terry,
10:29like there can be a shift in that game of Nope. Now it's Jimmy's time. Now we know what
10:33the tone of the game changes and bam doesn't really get that. You know what I would try.
10:38I would try to, with that second or one of those units put Bam in with Kalel and let
10:46him and Kalel do two main. I would love that. I was doing what I'm saying. Now you got two
10:51bigs. They both can kind of shoot the three. They both can go to the rim and you're going
10:55to get some kind of mismatch because they're both six, nine plus right. Kalel seven feet.
11:01So like you, you, you can do a two man game there that you can create some mismatches
11:08and kind of get, maybe get Bam going. I want to be clear about this. I didn't root for
11:14injury last night, but it's sad that I have to think about when Thomas Brian is, you know,
11:20reeling in pain on the floor, that this is the only time that Kalel Weller could possibly
11:24get on the floor, right? Like that's the, it like, I, it's like, it's not even in the,
11:30the stratosphere of thought, but why are we shocked? They've been doing this with, but
11:35why are we, but why are we doing the thing where we're going to just sit here and what
11:38we're going to do a red shirt year for a 20 year old? He's not an 18. He's not 19. Why
11:44are we not getting this kid? Seven, eight minutes a night, 10 minutes a night. Let's,
11:50let's try it on besides, like you said, give him some run with Bam. Let's see it for a
11:53little bit. Let's let Bam run the, run the point. Let this kid go down to the paint.
11:57Let's try something actually different. Not the same group of people who have the, the
12:04wrong shot diet. It doesn't work here. Here's, here's the other thing is that the heat get
12:16caught in this position a lot, right? They don't play their guys for the first two years.
12:24They come in and they play decent. And now you got to extend them. Get your money's worth.
12:34Get your money's worth out of them. I know how you're going to turn over the roster.
12:38If by the time you have to figure out where to pay a guy, he's only paid played for a
12:46year and a half, maybe of total basketball. Cause you sat him on the end of the bench.
12:50It's the total opposite of football. I don't, do we know of another organization that does
12:56this? No, everybody, everybody's young guys are playing. So they did it last year in Dallas
13:06with a, with a lot, with a lively, you know, everybody was saying like, Hey, this guy got
13:10lively with a three point shot. Right. But they went to the finals. They used all year to,
13:16to kind of, you know, I think it was in the second unit. Like, I don't know. Yeah. But,
13:19but still like this team has gotten a lot younger, a lot longer, right. In the course
13:29of an off season. And we see all of this and we think, okay, we're going to see some changes
13:39in the lineups so they can have more length or whatever. And all that stuff that we talked about,
13:46it went back to the same guys. I know it's crazy. And then like, and the bench is like, okay, you,
13:53we got all excited this summer by two very impressive rookies. And we're like, you know,
14:01Hey, let's rock, let's rock it out there with Thomas Bryant. Who like, let's be nice. This is
14:05not a knock on times. He's had a nice start to the season, but like, you're not going anywhere
14:10with him and you're back. I'm too young to play Sudoku. What are they doing on the bench over
14:13there? I don't know. I don't know. Cause like, Hey, like Drew Smith. Okay. He had a nice little
14:21run ski there against Jalen Brunson. But what's the ceiling. What's the ceiling on it. You get it.
14:28Where's my guy. Swedish swish. Oh no, man. I want to just have some fun, baby.
14:36Marcos is they went up to the counter and got a pack of swish of sweets and they shook it and
14:42they were dry and put it back and put it back. That ain't a good one. You got to feel it. That's
14:48that's like, can I just tell you, that's the most annoying thing. I go into the gas station to get
14:52I go into the gas station to get something to drink. And some guys checking all the swish of
14:57sweets and all the backwoods to see if they dry. You want to know what drove me the most
15:02nuts though? Like Spo had the hot acid yesterday. I'll play the clip for you. We got to take a
15:08break. Wow. He said something yesterday and I was like, dude, you're teasing me at this point. I
15:15don't like what you're doing. I don't like what you're doing. I'm not going to call him out.
15:18Seems like you're getting close to, but like he keeps you on the hook.
