00:00Marcos you said you want to hear what Tyler had to say last night in the after the game
00:03So yeah to set the scene
00:08Heat lose
00:10Spo talks, you know, it kind of
00:14Somebody asked him about it. I think it was I think it was Wes Goldberg from lockdown about the Jimmy thing and he goes
00:19That's an easy storyline, you know, some other guys were asked about Jimmy and he goes no, no, no, you know
00:24Maybe we'll get the ball in his hands more, you know
00:26Like you understand it's basically no selling it you and you understand
00:33that
00:35These are not questions you have
00:38With your supposedly star
00:41There's never been a question
00:44Since Jimmy has been here about getting the ball in his hands more never
00:50And now all of a sudden all these other situations present themselves and you use that line
00:56Yep, I'm not buying it because I've never heard this with Jimmy never
01:02Never heard this with Jimmy's usage rate or Jimmy having the ball in his hands
01:07What have you ever heard suppose say this in six years? Yeah, it's a convenient thing to put out there for sure
01:14So Jimmy talks he says this whole I can't find my joy probably can't find it here. So then Tyler
01:21You know is speaking in the media speaking to the media afterwards and
01:26Here was boy wonder in the locker room afterwards answering his deal with his very bright orange glasses in itself and
01:34Defensively you have been so much better
01:36Consistently and then tonight happens what changed tonight that all of a sudden the Pacers got out there with the assist with the shooting percentage
01:43and everything I
01:44think just a
01:46lack of urgency
01:48Lack of focus a bunch of things combined
01:53Yeah
01:57After the game Jimmy said he feels that the way he's being cast and used on this team
02:01He can't be him but his best self and that he might never be able to find
02:06For someone in the locker room who's been with him for such a long ride now a year six years
02:12What's your reaction when someone says something like that in the postgame interview?
02:19I don't even know surprised by that
02:23Not really
02:26So
02:29We all trying to find joy in it at the same time so we'll see
02:41I'm not sure. I have no clue. I'm not the coach. We try to get him involved. I thought
02:48Have you felt that in the locker room?
02:58Feel like the vibes are great. I don't know vibes are great to me. I'm about to enjoy my night
03:04All right, thank you
03:16So Wow, but but here's the deal like
03:23You could tell by the way to come the the questions and the answers we're gonna go by based on the first question
03:31yep, when
03:33He smiled. Are you bleeping kidding me? That was a slow smirk, right? That was devious. Hey
03:42Yeah
03:47These sizzle said it perfectly
03:50Tyler like thank God. I'm not knows trade rumors, right? See what it felt like Jimmy
03:58But Jimmy ain't in trade rumors I
04:01Think he wants to be a traitor. He's drumming up his own trade rumors, but like I
04:09Would say this
04:11Jimmy is not gonna put pressure on Pat Riley to do anything
04:17but Pat Riley's gonna look in this locker room and
04:21See how the guys are responding to it and that's gonna affect his decision and it has to it really does
04:30Right, we've seen throughout sports
04:33Some of your star players. What do they say? It started to affect the way everybody else was playing
04:41How you play a game where you score 100 points Tyler shoot the ball 12 times
04:47Don't know you see what I mean? So it was basically like you you played a game
04:53You know against a team that you really need to beat. I mean you're jockeying for position with them in the East
04:58I think that was your third game. So you want to get the jump on them two out of three?
05:03you know and and I mean
05:05What is it?
05:06What have you heard that Indiana Pacers team that team put the the clamps on you?
05:10That team put it on that team likes a track meet every single time. They don't like to stop anybody, right?
05:17You know, oh, I I just think it's
05:22Here's where this team is
05:24This team is where
05:27Normally
05:29When teams
05:31Let's be clear Indiana got out to a hot start they were making everything that happens
05:37But this team has been through that and they're fighting
05:41Claude and fought to get back into it rather quickly
05:47right
05:48Now you see that game last night
05:51and
05:52it's like
05:54The soul got sucked out of them within the first
05:57Seven minutes of the game. Yep, and that never usually happens. So now you ask yourself why?
06:04Like why why you could put it on some of the young players being in there and being a little green
06:10or you can just put it at the young players were in there because
06:14Like yeah, they had no guidance
06:18Fernando says issues in the locker room with Jimmy and Tyler and I'd be surprised by that
06:21I mean those guys have been they've seemed pretty tight all year
06:25It was just what a couple weeks ago. They were joking about who's 1a who's 1b Jimmy had said in his media that you know
06:31He was she was at the melee so he would dive on the floor for Tyler even who was on the bench
06:35He'd he'd get suspended probably want to miss a game, but he gets suspended for Tyler hero
06:40I don't think there's a rift
06:42I don't amongst the players, but it has gotten to this point with the front office where Jimmy
06:49Kind of feels like this is only lever left to play and that's the dog it
06:55and
06:56I don't know how that goes over with your players. You kind of heard Kevin love in the background there
07:01I don't know if you seem to have a problem with it or not
07:04But it kind of felt like if he did they would have went over there. They would have went over there and asked him
07:09I don't know. It was frosty. Yes, but but here's here is
07:14It the players don't have a problem with Jimmy
07:20Lesbian he's not
07:23But at the same time it doesn't mean that he's not affecting their play
07:29It was a here was BAM yesterday. I'm Jimmy came in postgame and
07:34Said he wants to find his joy wants to get his joy back from playing basketball
07:39And when he was asked if he can get that joy here, he said probably not
07:43as the captain as somebody who's in the room, obviously just how
07:48Much has this relationship deteriorated or is this just a case of a couple bad nights back-to-back?
07:54I mean, is there something big here or is it just a bad night all around?
08:00Things a bad night all around lose the game
08:04Obviously, he's frustrated he feels like he's you know standing in the corner
08:10So he's got a lot of things going on in this corner
08:14For us
08:16Keep the main thing the main thing like our coach always tells us
08:19You know, we play to win and that's what it's all about
08:24BAM is a captain when you hear a teammate saying he can't say whether he prefers to be here and then talks about that
08:29He might find his joy somewhere else
08:32How do you as a team that are trying to play together that are going to be here that are pushing through all this?
08:38How do you as a locker room deal with someone like that?
08:41When one of your leading men says he's not so sure he wants to be here
08:48How else you gonna do it we go out there and play basketball still, you know, it's still our job is still it's still what
08:56Pays our family take care of family take care of a lot of us. So, you know, we can't
09:03We can't slow down
09:06We have to figure out how to win games and push through
09:11And I know this is more for the coaching staff to figure out
09:14But how do you feel like you guys can get Jimmy?
09:17More involved in the offense when he says he feels like his role changed within the offense this season
09:21I mean, it's gonna take time. That's the one thing is
09:25It's all this going on because it's it's it's a glaring effort that we need to make as a team just to get him the ball
09:33You know, like you said, it's a coach. It's a coaching thing, but I feel like spoiled figure that out
09:38And Jimmy obviously just told us that he's not sure that he wants to be here long term but I
09:45Is that the first time that you guys are hearing of that as he indicated or told you guys that?
09:49You might not want to be here
09:52Yeah, I
09:54mean you hear all the
09:56outside noise and we black it out as a team because
09:59At the end of the day, like I said, we still got to go out and play basketball and try to win games
10:04For
10:06Us we let
10:09Jimmy Pat's bow. We let them handle that situation and for the rest of us. We still gotta go out there and try to compete in
10:18There you go bam out of bio yesterday after the game it seems like soon as there's a follow-up
10:26That could add to a comment
10:30You hear thank you, ma'am. Thank you Tyler
10:34All right, yes, so but
10:39The thing
10:42The thing that I hate about this, okay
10:46This is a situation
10:49between
10:50Jimmy
10:53In the heat, right
10:58But it's affecting
11:00BAM
11:02Tyler Jaime Kahlil K love
11:07All these up yo rich right is affecting these guys
11:14At what point is the franchise or the organization?
11:21Gonna have to look at it that way that hey
11:25Do something because otherwise we throw in a season away
11:30And
11:32And and and just look we'll we'll deal with the ramifications of it
11:37But right now we need to be focusing on
11:41basketball
11:42Well, let's say other stuff. Let's say nothing happens today, right? Like let's say there are no trades. There's a game tomorrow
11:51Then what like what how does that locker room what are you gonna do with what are you gonna do with Jimmy?
11:55What do they do exactly do they play him or do they say hey the heat have never here think about this
12:03Regardless of how disgruntled the player has been
12:07It's never been to the point where he didn't play
12:11Well, Dion James Johnson Hassan
12:15Okay, but they were ancillaries. I
12:18Paid ancillaries. Yeah
12:20Right. They weren't
12:22Like stars on your team. Yeah, that's why I'm asking like but how does the locker room handle it, right?
12:27Like put all the put all the Pat stuff aside. Like is there anything the guys in there can say to him?
12:34That would get him to actually try to play basketball. No because Jimmy's always been the one talking to them
12:40Jimmy's was the one talking to Tyler through the trade rumors, right? So the shoes on the other foot
12:47I'm guessing Tyler never went out there and cruised
12:51Right, I know but he was asking about I'm asking about can anybody talk to him about like hey
12:57Whatever happens happens, but like are you gonna go which is his words, which was his words to that?
13:03Yeah, I know. I'm talking about microphones away forget about what he said
13:08I'm talking about when the door shuts on the on the locker room before you're supposed to go out there and play the jazz
13:13Who has that cash a BAM?
13:16I don't know
13:18That's that's it when when you're leader
13:23Right. I think Nico has to say it with tears in his eyes
13:28Dude this ain't a Lifetime movie. I think that's what has to happen
13:33Yo, you think go he walks in and like we gather around the locker room
13:38That's not if I'm honest
13:40Yeah, you honestly think that Jimmy will fall for that, I don't know no
13:46For it, but it's like I'm just saying like
13:49But nobody in that locker room. Let's just say okay the pattern Pat's like we don't have a deal
13:54There's nobody trading for you right now. You know what this is. This is the equivalent to you ever play
14:00What's the the game with the ball roulette?
14:03Yes, they spun the ball, right?
14:07The ball is coming to a stop
14:10No more bets
14:11That's where we are right now. We're in the fact that
14:15Jimmy is where he is the heater where they are. There's nobody can put no more
14:21Wagers or move their bets somewhere else. It's it is what it is right now and
14:28Everybody's just gonna have to kind of deal with it. I think Spoh
14:35Is gonna have to make a decision
14:39Or have a conversation with Jimmy. I think if there's one player that person that could do it it would be Spoh
14:47Right, but is Spoh already saying something
14:53right by
14:56Putting him in the corner. I don't think it is a Spoh thing though
14:59I feel like it has to be one of the guys in the locker room
15:02Because I feel like Spoh's probably had those talks. I feel like
15:05Who because so far as long as Jimmy's been here Jimmy's been on the other side it is talking
15:13That's what a captain is supposed to do. So
15:16BAM's opportunity to step up it is
15:20agreed man like but I don't like
15:25Life I understand it's not a movie but I but I also think like I'm just saying in the situation of hey
15:32There's no trade tomorrow
15:34You can either do two things the Heat could ignore all this and be like Jimmy just go away, dude
15:40And when you if we figure this out, we figure it out and we just pay you 50 million to go away for right now
15:45or
15:47Okay
15:48We're gonna play basketball if a trade happens a trade happens
15:52Fine, you're gonna have your riff with Pat. You're gonna have your riff with Spoh. But what about the guys you play with?
15:58but in the end
15:59Okay, it's about winning games not proving a point but it kind of doesn't feel like that right now, right so
16:08Point that
16:10my point is this a
16:12decision or
16:15Conversation is gonna have to be had
16:18That shows that it is about winning and not about proving a point
16:27Again
16:29The best thing Jimmy could have done was to play Jimmy basketball
16:36Because that helps all the other stuff that he wants if he would have went in and said I'm a ball out
16:44Let's get something done
16:46right
16:48Then it would make it easier for everybody to to kind of do that, right?
16:55But the fact how the damage is done there though, right so so what do you like so now
17:01What do you do? Because here's the other problem
17:04The other problem is if you look at Jimmy's last two years and he's 35
17:10Who does he think gonna sign him to an extension, I don't know
17:15You'd have to have a reckless owner. I guess at this point. I mean, there's always the Clippers
17:20There is the Clippers
