00:00We got heat action tonight. Heater on the second night of a back-to-back tonight. They win last
00:03night over the Pelicans 119 108. Another masterpiece from Tyler hero, 32 points,
00:13comes out in the third quarter. He hits four, three pointers in the third quarter.
00:18He's just been incredible. Bam out of bio yesterday. It was a rebound shy of a triple
00:23double 23 points, nine rebounds, 10 assists. Duncan Robinson getting it done in 25 minutes.
00:28He had a 17 points, Jim Butler. He got cardio for 25 minutes.
00:35Because now it was way back. Hey,
00:44this is your fault. This is your fault.
00:50Let me, let me, let me put it out there. I'm minding my own business.
00:54Mm-hmm. Right. And then old Tobes went Tobes, but here's my question.
01:02Sometimes you wonder if Jimmy goes out there and like does nothing on purpose.
01:13Do I wonder that? Because like he could go score 30 or 40
01:21and then there's nights, like you said, he'll be out there getting cardio
01:29and there's no rhyme or reason. And it's not when loss related.
01:34And I always wonder, is he trying to make a point today? Is he trying to,
01:38because if you're just on toes, if you're the star of the team, no, you're the guy,
01:45you know, you see what I'm saying? He was gone for 13 days. That's two weeks.
01:50Let me say this, this whole year, if Tyler was having a bad day, it wasn't a bad day
02:00from not trying. It was a bad day for missing shots. Right. Jimmy will play a whole entire
02:06game and shoot four times. It was one of those weird games though. This is not here. I'm not
02:15saying this just because of last night and you know where I'm coming from. There'll be games.
02:23They may win. They may lose when they lose. We go, why didn't Jimmy shoot the damn ball?
02:29So you think this was on purpose? I don't know. I'm asking because he does this.
02:33Are you accusing him of James Harden behavior? He does this periodically. Am I not on point here?
02:42He does do this a lot more than, than we come in here and say, wait a minute,
02:48Jimmy's supposed to be the star. That means he's supposed to be the guy. Now, the thing about
02:52Tyler is, is Tyler's going to be aggressive. If he only has 15 points and 20 shots,
02:58it's not for lack of, he just had a bad night playing basketball.
03:05You see what I mean? There's no, you never come in here. You never come into a game
03:11or come. We never talk about a game the next day and say this. We say this about Bam.
03:20We say this about Jimmy. We never say this about Tyler. And it's not a knock on him.
03:27Say he didn't shoot the ball well, but he affected the game in so many other ways.
03:32No, we need him to affect, affect the game scoring. You're a scorer. If you have a bad night,
03:39I could deal with that. But what I can't deal with with Tyler is if he didn't shoot the ball,
03:45right? So I feel that way with Jimmy. If Jimmy is the guy, if Jimmy is the star, right?
03:55He's supposed to be getting his shots. It's sometime he don't even look to shoot.
04:01He did not look to shoot last night, but what do we make of that? I don't know what to make of it.
04:06Is he making a point? No, I don't know if he's right now. I'm not doing a bit here. Okay.
04:21I want you to stop saying things are my fault. It's not funny. It's not funny to people on
04:27Twitter. I don't like, I don't like getting bad. This is not my fault. You have the audacity.
04:34You have the audacity to use interview voice in your bit.
04:49I didn't say that. That's not what my question was. Does Pat Riley love you?
04:53Obviously not. Wait, wait, wait. Should we play the question? Should we show it? Because let
05:00people come up to their own conclusions while we sit in here that there's video evidence.
05:05It's not, it's not anything that had to do with me though. He was very, he, you know,
05:09maybe he was just tired of asking, answering questions about it because he didn't answer
05:12three minutes. I'm not his guy. I don't think I'm his guy. Okay. He does like my eyes, but I don't
05:18think I'm this guy, but I don't know if he likes your eyes anymore. Hey, I didn't ask him why he
05:23hates Pat Riley Dade South. All I asked was in the whole rigmarole of all this stuff. And obviously
05:31he didn't feel the need to share any of the time between the rumors and Pat putting out the
05:36statement, any conversation between you and Pat or even about where things stand and where you're
05:41feeling on it. Next. Hey, Hey, Hey. He gave you the look though. He gave you the look.
05:55Look at that. Look, look at that. Look. He's like, man, why are you coming at me like this?
06:00I thought we was boys. I don't know. I don't think that's not unreasonable between them.
06:09Look how he's staring at Tobe. We'll never get him again for media day.
06:14Never. Well, Hey, wait.
06:24Tobin. What?
06:31Hey, he didn't even talk. He just gave you twisted face. You know, twisted mouth mean he want to
06:37cuss. Has this ever ended this look? Has this ever ended? Well, it's ended. No, wait, wait.
06:46In the words, in the words of Tobin one, Brendan Tobin could be something.
06:57Now it's nothing. It ain't never not been nothing with you.
07:01I think all this, you know, Jimmy's got a game. He's got a game. He's got a game tonight. You
07:10know, second night of a back-to-back. He was just saving himself in the night, baby.
07:13You get the pals. You can cruise. You are fraudulent because if we would have said this,
07:21say if that was somebody like Dave or Giannis or, or Dion, uh, Darren Fox, right. And somebody
07:29asked them that question, what are your plans or any end game to it? You would be like,
07:36very clearly Jimmy and Pat Riley are not cool right now.
07:41Riley told him to keep his mouth shut. Jimmy's dropping. I'll just keep my mouth shut and play
07:44basketball during the interview. You know, he's doing his little thing. Uh, but he said he's in
07:49a good place. He says he's going to can be, wait, let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a
07:54question. The way he looked at you, you think there's some nefarious actions coming? I don't
08:01know. Oh, wait a minute. No, I'm not talking to you right now. I'm talking to Marcos Marcos and
08:11all the time beforehand, if I replace Jimmy with any other player, how would Tobin be looking at
08:20this frosty dude? Oh, Hey, Hey, you are a fraud. You're sitting here. I was Phoenix open right now.
08:33I'd be like, yes, you're yep. You're a fraud. You're, you're, you're like, I can't believe
08:41you're doing this. You know, damn. Well, you know, you just don't want to say it.
08:47No, stop stirring the pot. It's too late. We'd have made a pot of gumbo with that.
08:54First of all, I'm not, can I just say something? Can I just say something?
09:01No, you're not. No, I'm being honest. Can I just say something that really is upsetting
09:05me because it's not a bit I'm being genuine here and I want heat fans and you and Leroy
09:13and Jay, there you go. You can still go to hell, but this is accurate.
09:21Tobin has turned this franchise and the housewives of this game back.
09:24Well, you want to know something? Maybe this is just me. Maybe if the, if Pat Riley and
09:30Jimmy Butler would actually, I don't know, talk to each other and stop lashing out at my questions
09:34or not saying anything, maybe they'd be in a much better place. So it's their fault.
09:43Did, did, did Damon, uh, what's the dude at, uh, Portland Cronin did Damon Cronin talk?
09:50No, I don't think they did. Okay. Okay. Okay. Just saying, just saying like sports radio,
09:59Portland Tobin, nobody blamed them for the root for the relationship getting ruined. It got ruined.
10:03Cause it got ruined. It's not my fault. Common denominator though. Yeah. I have said no,
10:09no, no. The common denominator is Jimmy not having his money on, which I've said to give him
10:17his money on and everybody's mad at me. I'm telling you to pay him. That doesn't want to.
10:22How's that my fault? Why doesn't, and let's be clear. Why doesn't Pat want to pay him?
10:30No, don't know. Don't see. See, here's how you get in trouble. Here's how you get in trouble.
10:36Like you can want to pay Jimmy. You, it ain't your money. Why doesn't Pat want to pay him?
10:45Okay. So that's where we are with as, as far as an impasse and,
10:53and you can ask all the questions you want. It becomes more difficult when Jimmy's not playing.
11:00Look at that.
11:07Look at that. Listen, I'm not, I'm not a reader of body language,
11:14but he closed his eyes and turned and twisted lip and all that. He was like,
11:24he wanted to cuss. He was like, right now I want to cuss.
11:28That's the best solution in conflict communication.
11:30What? Yeah. Now all of a sudden you Dr. Phil, you have stirred it up. You have stirred it up.
11:39No, please stop saying I started it up. Okay. You didn't. Very reasonable things.
11:46Reasonable and your name don't go together. That's where you know, you're blind.
11:50The time between the rumors and Pat putting out the statement,
11:53any conversations between you and Pat or you and Pat about where things stand
11:57on it. Next. Any back to the purple hair? Well, he was pink last night. Oh,
12:08going in there. My name are. So I'm just saying, but you, you, you got a role in this,
12:18not a role in the outcome, but the, the outburst of people, whether you want Jimmy or not,
12:26right. You have played a pivotal role in this. No, I haven't played a pivotal role.
12:34Stop saying that. I don't have a pivotal. There's nobody less pivotal than me.
12:39Yeah. Yeah. First of all, your antics. Yeah. Antics have now gotten to the point
12:48where people are giving you a twisted face. Pat Riley may never speak to you again.
12:53Why? Why? Why? First of all, all I asked Pat Riley was a simple question of
13:03not having Jim. Let's just, let's just get down to brass tacks here.
13:07I didn't lead him down the road to tell Jimmy Butler to shut up. Okay. All I asked was,
13:11Hey Pat, you didn't have Jimmy. Jimmy says that if he would've played Boston would be home right
13:17now. Boston, the Knicks. Do you feel that way? Or do you feel like the gap was too big? He goes
13:22in this whole thing yet. And then he goes, you know, maybe Jimmy built a hate for the Celtics,
13:28which he very clearly has. Jimmy hates the Celtics. And then he goes, was that Jimmy
13:32trolling or being serious? If you're not out there on the court, you should keep your mouth
13:35shut in your talk about that. You're not even playing. Is that my fault? His words, not mine.
13:44Okay. Who asked the question? Did Ira ask the question? No, but that's not fair. That's not
13:50fair. And no, you don't want to know something when the pros do it, when it, when it's, when
13:54it's any of the journalists, nobody gets mad at them. But for me, you guys look at me like I'm
13:59some, you know, you, you look at me as a, because they don't know this damn skit from SNL. That's
14:08why you're a journalistic slut. You're breaking up happy home. I thought he comes to tootsies
14:21every day. I just make them feel like a man. That's what you do. You're breaking up these
14:25happy homes or Jimmy Butler can't even a homewrecker. That's not nice. And then, and then
14:34wait. And then you take it out on us as if we were the ones that push you down this path. You know
14:42what? I was enjoying leftover, uh, new year's food and Christmas food and ham and all this stuff.
14:51It was you know, because that's because all bleacher because bleacher report just goes
15:01Jimmy Butler to trade rumors just goes next. I'm like, really? That's the part. He said so
15:07many things, so many things. That's the, that's the thing bleacher reports going to send out.
15:12Yeah. I mean, listen, he, he, he did a, he did a marvelous job of, uh, you know,
15:19dropping the breadcrumbs like he does. You run a journalistic bunny ranch.
15:26That's right. Fernando, Fernando just own it. Tobes. Wait, you know what? He, he throws,
15:33he throws fodder out there, right? He asked these questions. Then when they blow up, he goes,
15:38wouldn't me. Why would I want Pat Riley and Drew Butler not to get along? I love Pat Riley and
15:45Jimmy Butler, but you know who you love more? What's the Aaron Fox. That's not true. I don't
15:56look. It's not me and Marcos. You're the first one that came in here with could be something
16:01could be nothing. Right. I'm not going to sit here and ask you to act you like it's nothing.
16:06It is something. He very clearly is like, I want my money. And then he's not happy with
16:09Pat Riley. I don't know what to tell you. Okay. I think he's going to get traded though. I don't
16:13think he's going to go anywhere. So here's the question I have. If this all is what it is,
16:24right. Is Pat Riley going to risk Jimmy picking up that $52 million option? Because that went in
16:34effect. You see what I'm saying? So I don't know. I don't think it is a risk. I don't think, I mean,
16:42cause I think one, if, if, if it gets to that point in the summer, I think they would just flip
16:46him to another team for something else. I think that's probably the way it would go. If he was
16:50that, if he was, if he doesn't pick up the option, let's just say Jimmy Butler looks like, you know,
16:57washed as all hell by the end of the year. And nobody in a million years would pay him a $50
17:01million salary next year, which I don't think is going to happen. But let's just say that did not.
17:05I think that if he was that upset, they would deal with it in the off season. They'd probably come to
17:09an amicable end. Yeah. But the problem is, is that you need him to be in a place where he can
17:18perform when you need them to perform. But how does that, but here's the thing with that. Okay.
17:26But if he has to impress other teams, right. Doesn't he have to play well? Like, can he really
17:31dog it? James Harden keep getting jobs. James Harden was in his twenties when he did that
17:36though, dude, not 35, which is, which is my point about giving him an extension.
17:43Yeah. But you're saying like, he's going to go and pull the dog. It was like,
17:46you can't really do that at his age. You have to show that you,
17:51he's going to have it tonight. I'm telling you right now, he's bringing the thunder tonight.
17:54I'm telling you right now, it smells like a chimney. You smell that? What's that?
17:59Smells like a Jimmy Butler, triple double. And that's, and you know, what's funny Marcos.
18:04Yeah. This is how he gets around it. This is how he gets around sending hockey players to the Yotes.
18:10This is how he gets, he comes on the next day, dude. I told you, I told you, but I believe in
18:18Jimmy Butler. You guys are the guy. No, no, no, no. I just want to say what I think happened last
18:22night was getting his feet wet. Didn't want to rock the boat too much. You guys are sitting
18:26here saying he made a statement last night. Oh, he made a statement.
18:34He told me. Where did we get this from? I don't know. Now all of a sudden you're playing dumb.
18:44Dude, I have fought you for eight years over. That's nothing. And you go, I don't know.
18:52And now all of a sudden you're going to tell us?
18:55The time between the rumors and Pat putting out the statement, any conversations between you and
19:00Pat about where things stand and where you're feeling on it?
19:06Next. Hey, you're lucky. You're lucky. He did it in a nice way. Cause he likes your eyes.
19:16That's true. Cause he looked over. He was about to come out.
19:21Oh, baby blue is going to ask me this right now. Yeah.
19:24I can't get it. I cannot believe this. That's me. I thought we were friends, baby blue.
19:32Listen, all I know is if I'm trying to wait, if I were saying the same things that you were saying,
19:40right, right now you would be having a parade over with all the stuff that you pull from those
19:49comments and looks and you're like, it's nothing. I'm not saying nothing. I'm just saying,
19:59I don't think he's dogging it on purpose. I didn't think last night. I didn't say he was
20:03dogging. You said, you don't know. You're implying he went into cruise control last night.
20:08How many minutes did he play? 25, 25 minutes. So over half a basketball, five shots,
20:15five shots. Okay. What would you classify it as a guy who you said we need 56 point, uh,
20:23Jimmy, they didn't need it last night. No, no, no. Okay. But here's the thing.
20:29When you pick and choose when you can do it and can't do it. What happens when you can't,
20:33when you want to, I'm telling you last night, he was just like, you know, we gotta go.
20:37Did you see last night? You know, we shouldn't even focus on this. Did you see our young core
20:41last night? Hey, stop it. No. Cause I know when they were in the game,
20:46cause you do. Now we just get one text respectfully.
