Transcript
00:00Miami Heat.
00:01First of all,
00:03lost their third in a row.
00:04You give 140 to Sacramento.
00:07Yeesh.
00:08Yeah, that was...
00:10You know what?
00:11They go about once every five games
00:12where they just can't shoot the ball a lick.
00:15The Heat?
00:16Yeah.
00:17Dude, it's been so...
00:18They have been in such a funk
00:20except for the Clippers game
00:22where they broke their record
00:23or tied their record.
00:24Or they come out and within
00:26two games, they'll come out and make 23.
00:30Zach Levine hit eight threes
00:31and the Heat finished with nine,
00:33which was, you know, some window dressing.
00:35They had a terrible second quarter.
00:37They gave up a 40-piece
00:38and it really just couldn't slow them down
00:41the rest of the way.
00:43It was an ugly game.
00:44It was an ugly game.
00:45Miami is now 14-10.
00:47Back in the play-in.
00:48So...
00:48Back in the play-in.
00:49My question is this,
00:50and I've always wondered about this,
00:53and I was wondering how this was going to play out.
01:00The old Heat,
01:02regardless of how much
01:03or how little they scored,
01:06were always in the game
01:07because of their defense.
01:09Now, the defense wasn't as good last year,
01:12but that's usually what their bread and butter was.
01:16Now they want to run up and down the court.
01:19Their defensive numbers
01:20have still been very good this season.
01:23Yeah?
01:23Yes.
01:23Okay.
01:24Yeah, their defensive numbers
01:25have been really, really good.
01:26Now, this past game
01:27is not a great example of it.
01:28I know, but that's...
01:29But when it goes south,
01:31this is what it looks like,
01:33whereas before when it went south,
01:35it was just they couldn't score.
01:37SDI says,
01:37Dolphins are back in the hunt.
01:39Heat back in the play-in.
01:40Sports seems right again.
01:45This was Norman Powell.
01:47He says this was him
01:48on the concern level right now.
01:51I don't think we're too concerned
01:52right now.
01:54You know,
01:55if you look at the four and five
01:57and go back and see
01:58how we lost those games
01:59and where we're at,
02:01you know,
02:01we could easily be,
02:03you know,
02:04five and four and one,
02:07you know.
02:07Don't get too...
02:08He was getting ready to say five.
02:10Just got to get back to who we are,
02:13back to our identity,
02:14offensively, defensively,
02:15especially this game.
02:17You know,
02:17no excuse coming back
02:18off of back-to-back.
02:20But, you know,
02:21just tightening up the little thing
02:22and how we want to play,
02:24the flow and the play style
02:25that we want to get back to
02:27and that we've been having
02:28throughout the course of the year
02:29so far.
02:31But, yeah,
02:31I think that's the biggest thing.
02:32We're going to tighten some things up,
02:33take tomorrow off,
02:35let our bodies rest and recover,
02:37come back Monday,
02:38watch some film,
02:39see how we can get better,
02:40and then get ready for Orlando again.
02:43Yeah,

02:45Early start,
02:45by the way,
02:46everybody,

02:59There's,
03:00I mean,
03:00tell you what,
03:00those let's go heat chants
03:01are loud up there.
03:03Loud.
03:04But,
03:05here's the thing I would take,
03:07Norm,
03:08love you,
03:09dude.
03:09All right,
03:10love you.
03:11So,
03:12I've just been,
03:13been a great
03:14Norman Powell era thus far.
03:16Here's where I gotta take
03:18some issue though,
03:19my friend.
03:21You can say that,
03:22oh,
03:22we could have been
03:23four and one,
03:23and we could,
03:24dude,
03:26you've basically had to
03:27fight your way
03:28into just being close,
03:30and first,
03:30I'm taking Saturday out of it.
03:32The Orlando game,
03:33the Mavericks game,
03:34and the Pistons game.
03:36Every single one of those games,
03:38you guys had to have
03:39a furious comeback
03:40just to make it close.
03:42So,
03:44I don't wanna make it seem
03:46like you guys were going
03:46tooth and nail
03:47with all these teams
03:48and all bouncing the wrong way.
03:50Wanna do that with the
03:50Orlando game?
03:51Okay,
03:52Orlando,
03:52you're always gonna have
03:53close games.
03:53They're good defensively.
03:54You're good defensively.
03:56That game is just gonna be
03:58104,
03:59you know,
04:00103.
04:00That's how those games
04:01are gonna go.
04:03The Mavericks game,
04:05the Pistons game,
04:06this pass game,
04:07every one of these,
04:08you had to make
04:09a furious comeback
04:10just to even,
04:10like,
04:11give yourself
04:11some kind of a chance.
04:13So,
04:13I'm not buying
04:14what he's selling there.
04:16Respectfully,
04:16Norm.
04:16Love ya.
04:17You know,
04:17it's been a great era
04:18thus far.
04:18I just wanted to make sure
04:19I'm not buying that one.
04:22So,
04:23you know,
04:24and as D-Sizzle says,
04:25Mavs suck,
04:26Kings suck.
04:27Lost to them both.
04:28I was hoping for a
04:28three-in-one week.
04:29You guys had a
04:29one-in-three week.
04:31Like,
04:31you know,
04:32like,
04:33at the very least,
04:35I was hoping,
04:35all right,
04:35well,
04:35two-and-two,
04:36you're gonna beat
04:36the Kings.
04:37And you guys
04:37weren't even close
04:38to the Kings,
04:39dude.
04:41You know,
04:41guys showed up
04:42in heat uniforms,
04:43but it's like,
04:43your minds were
04:44over at Art Basel.
04:44I don't know
04:45what the hell
04:45happened in that game.
04:46That was a terrible
04:47performance.
04:48So,

04:52NBA Cup,
04:52you head to Vegas,
04:54you know,

04:57the Heat are in
04:57kind of their first
04:58slump of the season
