00:00team that I watched here in south florida the miami heat boy I thought they were they were

00:06cooked last night and then all of a sudden jimmy butler went crazy jimmy butler and they came back

00:10almost beat the pistons they had won four games in a row 125 to 124 was the final there he's playing

00:16better basketball than they were at the beginning of the season but gilbert it does feel like every

00:21heat season i've seen the last few years too I just don't know that we're gonna see tyler here

00:26or there I know he's having a great year but are these is this heat team poised to go anywhere

00:31outside of being like a six or a seven and then eventually losing to like cleveland or boston in

00:36the playoffs that's what I wonder we know crick first off good to be back but uh you know we got

00:41a little bit of a dose of playoff jimmy in early december in that game but it just wasn't enough

00:46for this team and I think we've kind of sang the same song about these miami heat for the past few

00:52seasons it's felt like they are one piece away and how do they get that piece a few years ago

00:56or last year they thought it was terry rogier and he's been good but he hasn't necessarily been

01:01that missing piece to get them over the top and make them seem like they are a team they could

01:04get back to the finals like they did a few years ago there's so many questions and trade rumors

01:08and things about what's going to happen with this future of this team I think that is definitely

01:13taking a toll on the guys on this roster so I'm curious to see what the future holds for them

01:18can they make a move to improve in the margins to get out of that five six seven range in the

01:23eastern conference because outside of the top two teams the conference has seemed like it's been

01:27wide open so I'm curious to see if the heat can do anything but as it stands right now I think

01:32they're going to continue to hover in that four to six range which kind of puts an interesting spot

01:37on your ceiling in the eastern conference
