Transcript

00:00Oh, the other piece of the drama that we're going to follow this week is Jimmy Butler.

00:04So how much did you got?

00:05You guys talked, I'm sure, a lot about it last week when I wasn't here.

00:08But, you know, you have the whole Pat Riley statement that came out.

00:11The Shams, he really he's really a Grinch, huh?

00:13Wow. Ruined Christmas.

00:15He ruined my Christmas.

00:17He made Pat Riley very early in the morning, too.

00:20Pat Riley was just sitting here eating his drink of his eggnog.

00:23And then all of a sudden it's the Shams.

00:26He's got a real bean is spotted, huh?

00:28But but here's the deal.

00:29He's hearing it from somewhere.

00:32He is hearing it from somewhere.

00:33Where is? Yes, it's manufactured.

00:36That's what it is.

00:37You know, the guy who he replaced, the thing is, is I got a theory.

00:41I will say this about all these media guys.

00:44Right. People tell them stuff.

00:48And they run with it.

00:50Yep. Everybody assumes they know where it came from.

00:55And so all parties deny it. Right.

00:58But somebody said it.

01:00For all we know, Jimmy could be leaking it to him. Right.

01:03We don't know. No, we don't know.

01:05Watch him. What do you mean?

01:07He would never do that.

01:08We don't know.

01:09We don't know. Maybe Jimmy, you know, I mean, there's always this comment.

01:16I'm happy to be in Miami Heat.

01:20I plan on spending the rest of my career here

01:24when we know they didn't give you an extension.

01:27Right. So I can't lie when when the whole

01:33sick days happen.

01:35I thought I was going to get traded.

01:37I was skeptical.

01:38I was like, all right, fine.

01:41And then reconditioning.

01:42I'm like reconditioning in this game.

01:46What do you mean? What do we have?

01:48Hey, that means everybody's in on it.

01:52I was very I don't know.

01:53But then yesterday, Jimmy puts out this video.

01:57He's in the heat locker room playing dominoes with his agent

02:00in front of the locker.

02:01And then he's puts after the heat win.

02:04He's putting Tyler up with the Houston police, which is just a great.

02:07I'm telling you, make this a T-shirt.

02:10Is anything funnier than Boy Wonder being held back by the cops?

02:13I need this. I need this shirt.

02:16But then Jimmy post after that.

02:18He post videos or he post videos and photos of himself

02:21working out in the in the heat facility heater back on Wednesday.

02:26They got a back to back.

02:27I don't know if they'll practice tomorrow.

02:29I'm not sure because usually, you know, usually if they have two days off,

02:33they'll practice the next day.

02:34But it's a back to back coming up.

02:35They just played three out of four.

02:37Duncan's banged up.

02:38Jimmy's obviously working his way back. So I don't know.

02:41They maybe they do.

02:41Maybe I wouldn't be surprised one way or the other.

02:44But if he's not going to practice, I mean, the assumption is he'll be back

02:49Wednesday if he's ready and reconditioned.

02:52If he doesn't play in these two games, are you going to raise some eyebrows?

02:57Listen, my eyebrows, one or two things.

02:59Tell us what's going on or really explain what his injury was.

03:02Dude, my eyebrows have been more raised than a real housewife's Botox face.

03:05Like they have been raised up to like,

03:09like, trust me, I've already been looking at this from all angles.

03:13I've got a glass case of emotions.

03:15How race?

03:19Like the poison, like the poison stuck my face up there.

03:23It was something.

03:25But what did I just watch with Botox?

03:27And oh, that Nicole Kidman movie.

03:29Yeah, she got Botox.

03:30I didn't know Botox could get booze.

03:32Oh, yeah. My wife and I went. Not very good.

03:34I don't really get what she was freaky over.

03:37I think it's licking milk out of a bowl.

03:39I'm sorry. What? Baby girl.

03:41Yeah, I was trying to figure out what's her thing.

03:44If you want to see a funny Botox movie, I'm so see.

03:47Just go with it. Oh, that's great.

03:49Oh, my goodness. You will not stop laughing.

03:53Three. But yeah, Jimmy puts all these photos yesterday.

03:57You have any more of these, Jfig, for the audience on our Twitch

04:00and video feed like, you know, he's working out yesterday.

04:02And some people say he does look skinnier, that he looks like he lost weight.

04:06Like, like the bubble guts did really get him, which that's the case.

04:11Oh, yeah. A little bit.

04:12Oh, well, I think what you think you're going to go over

04:17to Big Face Coffee and get a bottle of bubble guts.

04:20It's Jesus. So I'm to think of it.

04:24I did see something. We're in a fridge.

04:28Probably that in that fridge.

04:30Oh, my goodness.

04:31I'm surprised some of that stuff not growing green stuff on it.

04:35Yeah. Oh, that guy has eyebrows.

04:37I was waiting for this one.

04:39He's like, he goes, Can you believe we got that rather to make a statement?

04:43The whole Shams thing.

04:44All I had to do is pretend that I didn't know what Shams was saying.

04:50But anyway, so we'll see what happens with the Jimmy Butler thing.

04:52But I got another bone to pick with the heat.

04:53All right. To be honest with you.

04:54And more specifically, Eric Spolstra, you even button head,

04:58because let me tell you something, dude, I don't like the fact

05:02that we sat here respectfully and been asking for something all year.

05:06Respectfully.

05:08And then he has the hard city

05:11after Nicola Jovich has his best game of the season.

05:14And Kala where arguably had one of his best games of the season.

05:18And he has the audacity to get on this podium yesterday

05:23and wax poetic to heat nation to show patience.

05:29And I was like, excuse me, sir.

05:33You're going to tell us what about having what with the young guys

05:38when you're sitting here and zero.

05:41Let me tell you something, Spoh.

05:42Can I just tell you a little secret between you and me?

05:45Kevin Love is tired, OK?

05:49And all he wants to do is give speeches and sit on the bench

05:54and you keep putting them out there exhausted.

05:59And he can't even make a biscuit within four feet.

06:03I didn't even know that was possible at his height to air ball

06:06a ball that close, but he's tired, OK?

06:11And you keep throwing them out there when there's a giant Serbian

06:15and a seven foot one dude from Little Rock, Arkansas,

06:19who is completely capable of rebound in the basketball.

06:24You have the audacity to tell me in the postgame yesterday to show patience.

06:31You have this yesterday.

06:32This was a together, you know, after a tough loss last night.

06:35You build character.

06:37You have opportunities to build that competitive character as your season

06:39goes on. Our young guys, you know, I love them.

06:43You know, it's not going to be Heat Nation.

06:46This is not something with our young guys that it's just going to be like,

06:50you know, you know, straight to the moon.

06:52You know, they're they're so committed, you know, and they're figuring things out.

06:57And some nights it's going to be great.

06:59And some nights, you know, we work through it.

07:00But hopefully each night that, you know, we put ourselves in a position to win

07:04and then we figure it out, you know, there at the end.

07:06But the young guys really contributed tonight all the way through.

07:09And Niko, obviously, you know, that big three.

07:12OK, OK, OK.

07:15But isn't it adorable that he's trying to reverse psychology on us?

07:20That's like with the impatient ones when he's sitting here

07:25and he had to be fought tooth and nail to get those two giants out on the floor.

07:30And now we have to be patient.

07:33Are you kidding me?

07:35Are you kidding me?

07:37I don't know what this word means, but I think he's gaslighting.

07:40Dude, I think he is gaslighting me.

07:43I think I feel gas lit by Eric Spolstra.

07:47I know you guys, you know, you guys want veteran presence.

07:50And I understand that.

07:51But, you know, we're going to have the young guys out there

07:54and you're just going to have to show patience.

07:55That's all I wanted in the first place.

07:58He's saying.

08:00We didn't want to play the young guys.

08:03Yes, that's what he's trying to make it seem like.

08:05Yes. Hold up. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

08:09I am not going to allow you to put my name out there

08:14like I'm the one holding the young fellows back.

08:18There was nobody more excited than me

08:22to draft the seven footer.

08:24I was the main one saying we got younger

08:28and we got lengthier in this offseason.

08:31Me. Only to play the same Hobbits week in game after game.

08:39And you saying I need to be patient.

08:42I'm not the one that sent the seven foot one guy to Sioux Falls.

08:47Sioux Falls, dude.

08:49So you didn't send him to the moon?

08:51He's not Sioux Falls worthy.

08:55Went to Sioux Falls.

08:56Drew Smith, he's sending him to Sioux Falls.

09:00He's putting up 30 and 30 goes, hmm.

09:02Shush. All right.

09:04I guess he didn't need that

09:05because he already played with those guys in college.

09:10So he's literally done everything there is to do with those guys.

09:13They won a championship this summer.

09:15He doesn't need to prove anything else.

09:19Now, you know, he's going to play two minutes the next game, right?

09:22It's no way, dude. He's so good.

09:24You see how scared that guy was in the middle of the he's like,

09:27like, hello, was just he didn't even do.

09:28He's just like, what?

09:29And then Jalen was like, wow, and like ran away.

09:32I was like, oh, oh.

09:36It's almost like watching a sport you've never seen before

09:39because you just don't know

09:41because just six, six, five guys are usually your centers.

09:47They just actually decided,

09:48Leroy, I watched a game where people just like,

09:51I don't think I'm going to go in the paint.

09:53Right. Wow.

09:56And I think I would just put Kahlil in there and say, hey.

10:02He's having one.

10:04Let's just let's just good game plan.

10:06Let's just get crazy here, Spell.

10:08Why don't we do this?

10:09Just try it on for size one game, OK?

10:12You put Kahlil and Niko

10:16and Bam with Jimmy and Tyler.

10:20Let's see what happens, man.

10:23Just for a stint.

10:24Not the whole game.

10:25Just give it a little run ski.

10:27Like a five minute run.

10:28Just see what happens.

10:30They interlap.

10:31So some guys, you still have your starters and whatever.

10:34See, that's yeah.

10:37You know, assuming that, you know, Jimmy's reconditioned.

10:40How?

10:44So let me get this straight.

10:46This man has been

10:49in the best shape of

10:51almost any athlete I've ever seen in my life.

10:54Yeah.

10:56He gets the bubble guts, missed two or three games.

11:00And he's got to recondition.

11:01That's right.

11:02If you lose it that quick.

11:05Then what about the young guys who you sit on the bench for five games?

11:10I don't know.

11:12I don't think it's his his stamina they're talking about.

11:15I think he probably has something to do with his hair.

11:17They need to recondition his hair so that they could potentially change the color.

11:22But we got coming in this week.

11:23We got a we got to get a Pels.

11:26The Pels are coming in on Wednesday.

11:27Yeah.

11:28Is Zion back now?

11:30What am I even saying?

11:31Of course, it's not back this question.

11:33Hey, everybody who's complaining about him getting slimmer.

11:39He's not back.

11:40Nope.

11:41Working his way back still.

11:43Oh, he's reconditioning.

11:44He's reconditioning.

11:46We can have a reconditioned all stars.

11:51Oh, man.

11:52It's supposed to stop gaslighting us, dude.

11:55I not appreciate this.
