00:00Jim Laranega is going to join us today, usually on Wednesdays.

00:03He's traveling tomorrow.

00:04Aranda Gadsden is going to join us today, and Gino Toretta is going to join us today.

00:10He's usually on Thursdays, but we're off on Thursday, so Gino will join us today.

00:14So we do have a loaded potato of a program, and I'm imagining Solana wants to get right

00:20into the Miami Heat headlines because there is a little something bubbling.

00:26We started talking about it yesterday, like, is it too early to start talking?

00:30And, man, if Tyler can put up, you know, 24 points when Norman Powell isn't playing,

00:36like, that because, you know, it used to be if Tyler was out, it's like, okay,

00:40well, who's going to score your buckets?

00:42And you've seen Norman Powell all season long.

00:44He can score your buckets.

00:45Well, now, hey, if Norman Powell's out, who's going to score your buckets?

00:49Oh, y'all must have forgot.

00:51We kind of talked about that yesterday with Tyler.

00:53Like, he's going to come out slinging because y'all must have forgot.

00:57And so they're scoring points, man.

01:00Speaking of scoring points, I think New Orleans put up 145 on the Bulls last night.

01:06I heard Stacey King saying, like, New Orleans Pelicans hadn't scored 145 points

01:11in, like, their 15 games combined.

01:13They were averaging, like, four points a game.

01:16I don't know what happened last night.

01:17Headlines brought to you by Doral Volkswagen, home of the Pricito, our lowest price.

01:22Visit them at Doral Volkswagen or DoralVolkswagen.com.

01:26Yeah, I was going to swagger in with some Miami Heat talk.

01:30I'm not going to lie, but here's why.

01:32Yesterday, Tyler Hero makes his return.

01:34It sucks.

01:34Norman wasn't available.

01:36The Heat didn't play well.

01:37Overall, Tyler had a really good game.

01:39He struggled right out of the gate.

01:42The Heat shot 5 of 27 from beyond the arc.

01:45Kahlil Ware made three of the five threes in the game for Miami.

01:50Crazy.

01:50And they shot well below 50% from the field.

01:54They didn't play well.

01:55It was a tie game with under a minute to go.

01:57And when you needed a big bucket, Bam forced a turnover, stole a ball.

02:03I immediately was going to text you DPOI because that was such a huge turnover because Dallas

02:12made it so dicey at the end.

02:15You're like, this can't be because that was reminiscent of last year's collapse, like where

02:20you'd collapse right at the end and you'd go, what the hell just happened?

02:24Like I watched them in control of the game and Bam, man, I thought of you when he, when

02:29he got that turnover, I thought of you, I was like DPOI right there.

02:35Bam forces the turnover out of the inbounds and then Tyler Hero off kind of a chaotic play

02:43where Pella was, was headed the other way, got the ball on the perimeter, didn't need

02:48a screen, got into the paint and scored the go ahead, which ended up being the game winning

02:52basket.

02:52So even when things didn't go right for you, even when it didn't look pretty at the end,

02:57your two best players came up with the two biggest plays on the most important possession

03:02of the game.

03:04Good teams become great teams when they win games like that.

03:08Would you agree?

03:09And I'm not, I'm not saying title powder, but when good teams don't play well, the best

03:15teams still find ways to win those types of games.

03:18And the Heat somehow pulled it out yesterday, even in Tyler Hero's first game.

03:23Savannah, get mad at me.

03:24You're mad at me enough.

03:25Don't be mad at me when we agree on something.

03:27That's what I ask.

03:28In those games, tied up with a minute left, who's the guy who's going to go make the play?

03:33And last night, it was great that it's Bam and Tyler making those plays.

03:36But that's what I've been begging for.

03:38Those last second heroics, the crunch, the clutch time we were talking about.

03:42That's what it was.

03:43It was clutch time.

03:44And those two guys make clutch plays.

03:46That's what I'm looking for.

03:46And that's what we got to continue to do for me to totally be sold on this team and maybe

03:51do it against somebody better than the Dallas Mavericks.

03:54I don't want to be.

03:56That's fair.

03:57Totally fair.

03:57I'm glad we saw it with the Chiefs.

04:00And I'm not comparing the Heat to the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes.

04:04But you saw when it came down to it in that Indianapolis game, the Chiefs were just better

04:10at the end and were able to win it.

04:13And if the Heat continued to do stuff like that, that is where they make the leap from.

04:20Because I'll ask you again the same question I asked yesterday, and I'm going to ask it

04:23to Coach L when he joins us this hour.

04:26Is there a team in the East, Crowder, that you look at?

04:31I know you said Cade Cunningham and the Pistons yesterday.

04:33Is there a team in the East where you go, that team is unbeatable come playoff time?

04:40Because I don't see it.

04:41And like I said, I mean, Solana and I have been texting Jokic highlights with Coach L the

04:46last few days.

04:47Like, you could look at Denver or you could look at OKC in the West and go, man, I don't

04:53care what kind of regular season you put together.

04:55I don't want to see either of those teams in the postseason.

04:59I'm not seeing it in the East.

05:01I'm starting to think teams in the East are looking at the Heat and going, that's the

05:06team to keep an eye on.

05:08OKC, the Nuggets walk in the gym, you tuck your chain and look at the ground.

05:12Nobody, even the Pistons aren't doing that for me.

05:16And they're unproven.

05:17It's what I talk about.

05:18Even when the Heat make runs, I'm like, it's unproven.

05:20When we lost the big three and all, they're unproven.

05:23And they have a bunch of damn good young players now, but I haven't seen them go win any series

05:27against anybody worth a damn yet.

05:29So no, no, I'm not scared of anyone in the East.

05:33I'll say that.

05:35Well, you should be because the Toronto Raptors are really, really good.

05:38That team does scare me.

05:39Brandon Ingram dropped 37.

05:41But I am glad.

05:41No joke.

05:42We can all be rational about a Heat victory.

05:44We can all approach it with calm, cooler heads here.

05:48Now that we got that out of the way, let me tell you why Kahlil Ware is going to be better

05:52than Wilt Chamberlain.

05:53And here's where I want to start.

05:56Get to that quickly if you can, because I want to talk about why the Dolphins are going

06:00to win the Super Bowl.

06:04And then Trouter, you'll have more on Lincoln for the Florida Gators.

06:11And then we'll go to McMurphy here over at One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and we'll get

06:15his take on things as well.

06:18Tomorrow is a must-win game for the Miami Heat.

06:23Yes, in November.

06:25You love that NBA Cup, man, don't you?

06:28And I am so invested in this NBA Cup.

06:30You love it.

06:31Hawk, I'm not kidding.

06:32One day, there will be a time where people care about this as much as I care about it

06:35right now.

06:35I'm telling you, it's going to happen.

06:37There will be a time where people care about a game like tomorrow where the Heat can put

06:42themselves in a position to advance to go play meaningful games in Las Vegas.

06:46What more do you want than knockout games in the middle of November, early December?

06:51Is that what happens?

06:51I don't even know how it happens.

06:52So if you do the finals, what the NBA Cup finals and semifinals or quarterfinal, like

06:59what's in Vegas?

07:00Yeah, semifinal and final are in Vegas.

07:03If the Heat advance, they'll play one game, a knockout game that wouldn't be in Vegas.

07:10But if they win that one, then they go to Vegas.

07:12Oh, and it ends their season.

07:16Well, the Cup season.

07:18Oh, so they just continue to play basketball for the rest of the year?

07:21Yeah.

07:22No, no.

07:22I mean, all these games are regular season games, and these are Cup games as well.

07:26And if you win the Cup, what happens?

07:28I know the Lakers raised a banner for winning that Cup, didn't they?

07:32You just continue to play your schedule like normal.

07:35So if you lose it, you just continue to play your schedule like normal.

07:38So it's just a game?

07:40No, it's a Cup game.

07:41It has implications, meaningful implications.

07:44Cup game tomorrow against the Bucs.

07:46The American mind cannot comprehend the Cup tournament.

07:50They cannot.

07:51Can't do it.

07:55Hey, shout out to the Florida Panthers.

07:57I love a good pounding, and that's what the Panthers delivered yesterday.

08:02There's your podcast headline, I mean, not Jimmy.

08:08You know, I always want to be on the delivering end, of course.

08:15But sometimes it's just not your choice.

08:17That took a turn.

08:27I'm off to that.

08:27Here's my school channel.

08:33There's a good chat in the YouTube chat.

08:36Solana, it's useless.

08:37Hawk and Crowder are two meathead yanks.

08:42Agreed.

08:43Yeah.

08:44Like, is yank a nasty term?

08:48Yeah.

08:49Like a gringo, an American, a yank, a Yankee.

08:52Oh, I thought it was from up north.

08:54Oh, okay.

08:56I thought it was nasty, you know, yanking your meat or something.

09:00I didn't know.

09:01Meathead yanks.

09:02No, a couple of yanks.

09:03Where a couple of Americans don't understand cup play.

09:06Cup play for Europeans.

09:08Really, not even for Europeans.

09:09For any soccer fan in any soccer nation, they understand cup play.

09:14We don't.

09:15We're a couple of yanks.

09:18We get it.

09:20They don't really have a lot of fun over there to do, though.

09:23We have things to do.

09:24Yeah, I mean, they line up for hours.

09:27They stare at a tower that's falling over.

09:30Oh, hey, look.

09:30This tower's leaning.

09:32Here, in Yanks land, we would just fix the tower and get on with our lives.

09:37Pick it up.

09:44Bergeron Construction could have it up 10 minutes.

09:46It's crazy.

09:47They don't have one construction company in Italy?

09:50What's going on over there?

09:53They praise clocks.

09:58That is a good point.

09:59Like, oh, this tourist attraction.

10:01Come see this clock.

10:03Clock.

10:05Okay.

10:07What are you talking about?

10:08Big Ben?

10:09Yeah.

10:11I know they took me there.

10:12I wasn't impressed.

10:13Yeah, look, it's Big Ben, Parliament.

10:17We're talking a Chicago guy who wants me to stare at a damn metal bean for 20 hours.

10:21That bean, if you look at it from different angles, you see the city skyline, you see your own reflection.

10:28That bean is so immersive, you could spend days there.

10:33I can't decide which one I enjoyed staring at more, the Grand Canyon or the bean.

10:38Huh.

10:39I'm going to blow your mind.

10:41Get you a handheld mirror, walk around the world, you'll see behind you.

10:44What?

10:45Nah, that bean, that's like shapes and angles that you couldn't even comprehend.

10:56To be fair, though, Liberty Bell, I always maintained, just fix the crack.

11:03Put it back up.

11:04You know what I mean?

11:05I don't even know what it did.

11:08What did the Liberty Bell do?

11:10Did we have to ring it to signify something?

11:13Yeah.

11:13The British were coming.

11:16That's certain.

11:17That was it.

11:19The break in it is significant, though.

11:23The crack?

11:25Yeah.

11:25It broke.

11:26Somebody broke it.

11:28Thomas Edison.

11:30Oh, the lightning hit it.

11:32Yeah.

11:32Yep.

11:32Yeah.

11:33And then he discovered electricity.

11:35That's big time.

11:39Thank you, Bell.

11:44Big time.

11:46All right.

11:47Those are your sports headlines.

11:48Over to weather.

11:50In South Florida.

11:51There's no way Coach L joins us after this segment, right?

11:53Like, is there any way he decides, yeah, I want to talk to those guys.

11:58I want to get off the show.

12:03My name's on it.

12:05Hey, how's your birthday, Hawk?

12:07Jimmy says the Liberty Bell is cracked due to a combination of a manufacturing defect and an unsuccessful repair attempt.

12:15That's what I'm saying.

12:17That's what I'm saying.

12:18Just fix it.

12:19But did they not have warranties back then?

12:22That's it.

12:23I mean, we ordered a big, giant bell that was going to signify liberty, and we accepted shoddy worksmanship?

12:32USAA.

12:34Great call.

12:35And now, I've been to Philly a couple times.

12:39I stand in a two-and-a-half-hour line to go watch a bell that's cracked.

12:43Yeah.

12:43And the bell doesn't even do anything.

12:46Just sits there.

12:46It sits there.

12:47There's no bell.

12:50You don't want it to juggle?

12:52No, I'd like it to ring like a freaking bell.

12:56Do bell activities.

12:58Hey, come watch the bell.

13:00Oh, what time does it ring?

13:01Never.

13:05Anticipation of the building, no.

13:08It would be like you going to Tootsie's.

13:10Nobody takes their clothes off.

13:13That's what going to see.

13:15Going to see the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia would be like going to Tootsie's, and everyone just stands around in their clothes.

13:24Okay.

13:27What time do they take off their clothes?

13:29Oh, they don't.

13:32Why did I wait in line two hours?

13:34I don't know.

13:36You better go get your tailgate takeover menu item or something.

13:43Stage is boring.

13:48God bless America, though.

13:49God bless America.

13:50Yeah.
