00:00the heat they'll get back in action tonight get to a little 15 minutes of heat here brought to

00:04you by the lexus december to remember sales event get offers on select models for a limited time

00:09learn more at lexus.com so last night leroy i was perusing uh you know the the old youtube

00:17and i come across this uh this joker's post game from uh beating the heat you know it's uh goodness

00:25what i said what two years ago three years from the finals dude they just played a day ago

00:33okay oh no you're talking about from the game are you i thought you said from the finals

00:38dude are you all right yeah i'm fine you good buddy yeah yeah i think street is right you

00:43checked out seven minutes into the show you need some coffee or something buddy i know like uh you

00:47know this there's a lot of knee stuff i literally i literally thought you said we're talking about

00:52the finals no i was talking about the last game i understand there's a lot to pick from from how

00:56many times he's kicked the heat's ass you know but i was uh curious you know he was asked something so

01:02here's the thing he was asked something in serbian right and so i'm like i want to figure out what he's

01:08saying i don't speak serbian so i like i put my phone up to it and i'm just trying to like get the

01:13translate the google translate you know and i was like oh all right it does wonders but i don't know

01:20how accurate it was but then thankfully somebody asked him about jovich in english and i was like

01:26oh shout out to the denver reporters or whoever the hell it was that wanted to know what about jovich

01:31and uh this is what the joker had to say about his brate and uh this is what uh he thinks on the

01:39heat young forward who's been struggling a little bit well how's uh nikola jovich doing how's he

01:43progressing and do you have advisor do you have conversations with him i mean i really don't like

01:49to do that especially when he's another team because i don't know what coaching staff is

01:53telling him and i don't want to be the guy who's going to be in the warm i think i think he needs

01:58to listen to coaching staff and um because i i remember how when i started playing i was just doing

02:03i was just doing what they told me to do and that's going to give you minutes and that's going to give

02:08you opportunity to play and then when you build the trust you can do something on your own and then

02:14they you will see it is it working or not so but i think he he has a potential because he can he can

02:22he he he's i think he's a good defender he can defend multiple position just because of his size and

02:30and offensively uh you can use him on different different ball handling should ball he can shoot

02:36three he can actually really good post-up player uh that's that's my opinion of course uh because we

02:43we use him as national team as a post-up player so that's why that's why i'm saying and he it was

02:49it was working good for us you know uh just because of his size there you go he took shots

02:55oh he said this is how we used them and we had some we had some success with him we had him d and

03:04three yeah yeah and he would have brought it yeah you said yeah there was a lot of subliminals uh being

03:10what do i know i'm just a joker bled just the best player game bled you ain't got to tell tobin

03:17you could already tell when he started going through that tobin started smiling so yeah i mean

03:26you know what it it's weird that we always see a lot of heat players go somewhere else and kind of play

03:34more their game instead of a heat game and sometimes when they play in the confines of a

03:41heat offense it's almost like when you go from college to the inner to the nba like jordan like

03:48when you watch jordan in college he was just one of five he wasn't jordan right and then he gets to

03:56the nba and becomes jordan the way he like did they not know he had this talent in college

04:03right it's a little different now in that you know everybody's kind of pushing all the buttons

04:10of their their big name players but jovich goes to the national team they use him a certain way he

04:17has success well we talked about this with him too right remember we talked about this with him at the

04:21at media day and we were saying like i was saying like man you kind of seem like a different guy

04:26like he's fighting with guys he's got like this little chip on his shoulder being in that baby and

04:31he was like yeah he goes he goes i got to figure out how to bring that over here you know like i don't

04:36even see it seems like he's searching on that how he could be serbian jovich as opposed to heat jovich

04:43well we got a little bit of that last year before he broke his hand but uh it's obviously been very

04:49inconsistent to start this season joker said it perfectly he said you got to build that trust

04:55and get on the court and then once you establish yourself as an nba player then you can go to your

05:03bank right and and so he said that's what he did he did everything the coaches told him to do to get

05:09him on the floor he built some trust he uh and then once you know once they realized he was a play

05:18then he started doing his thing i do like the idea though that he's just like what what in my

05:22humble mind i don't you know how many mvps so don't want to step on toes here but you're doing

05:28completely wrong completely incorrect i don't want to say you know how you say uh wrong but you know

05:38i don't want to step on no toes yeah but you're not utilizing my friend very well no you're not

05:49it's like that's basically what he said but but then he did he did kind of tell jovich like you got

05:57to do what you got to do to get on the floor true and then once you get there you know but that's why i

06:03always wonder like they have these such these uh defined roles that he'd have defined roles for

06:11everybody right that maybe he doesn't get a chance to do those other things i'm distracted because al

06:18maco says i look like strawberry nesquik

06:20that's what i was laughing at you do look like a strawberry nesquik

06:28you gotta shake it oh my goodness

06:34nothing like leaving yourself open on a daily basis which is exactly what we do like you

06:43and then of course just the chat coming in strong with jorrell's going bam out of by toe

06:49tate south bam i'm a big toe

06:56guys can't take anything serious the man is hurt right he is hurt

07:04dead hey that toe ain't nothing to be played with and you know it ain't it ain't just a boo-boo

07:10because he just walked right off the court right no that's he said it he says too excruciating i was

07:17like so he ain't gonna even have a shoe on next time he's here they're gonna say bam's here you

07:20don't have a shoe on boot i'm telling you got that walking boot i don't even know if it could be a boot

07:27but but you can't do it's crazy i can't explain the pain and how scared you are to put on a shoe

07:35this is not good well listen if he's not playing i mean where in yo bitch dude like you guys need to

07:42step the hell up because i don't know what we're gonna do like this is your this is your chance

07:46right here dude you gotta earn trust you got you got the captain out they got we got no depth at size

07:52so like it's sink or swim for these guys i can't lose to charlotte i tell you who i don't want to see

07:59and i thought he was a high flying jumper or whatever key shot he's gotta step up too i mean

08:08like maybe like i'm just trying to figure out like what what are you doing buddy like you're way too
