00:00So, with all that being said, we've got the Heat coming back home, man.
00:04They got a big one because that was an absolute disaster.
00:09Maybe the worst loss of the season considering how much they need that game
00:15and Indiana does not.
00:17Indiana was 1-18 in their last 19 games.
00:21The Pacers shoot 58%, score 79 points in the first half
00:27and go on to win 135-118 because in the fourth quarter,
00:32in a one-point game after three, they get outscored 27-11.
00:41And, by the way, it doesn't get any easier tonight.
00:44It doesn't get any easier this week because you've got Boston, too.
00:48George, Embiid, and Maxey are all back.
00:51Embiid and Maxey from injury.
00:52George from his 25-game suspension.
00:55So, they're playing for something.
00:57They're in front of the Heat.
00:59But what happened to the defense, man?
01:02Forget the scoring.
01:04When did the Heat, who were a couple weeks ago, talk about their great –
01:08That's how they started this season, remember?
01:09Great defense.
01:10They were in those crazy shootouts or the games were being played in the 150s
01:13and it was all exciting when they were winning.
01:16And now they're giving up the 70 spot in a half against everybody.
01:20Somebody's getting 70 on them in a half.
01:24They're a playing team, man.
01:26It looks –
01:27No better, no worse, probably.
01:29You're guaranteed 10 because after 10, I think Milwaukee's another 20 games behind.
01:34But this is what they are until they make a significant change.
01:37This is what they are.
01:39Well, Spoh tried to put as positive a spin on this thing going back home.
01:43And I get it.
01:45They got it.
01:45You know, you're jumping on the plane, you're getting home in time to, you know,
01:49get home late, get some sleep, and get ready to go against 76ers.
01:54And now everybody's playing for position.
01:56So now there's a little more urgency going on out there.
02:00And the Heat have lost seven of eight games.
02:03It's not losing.
02:05It's just giving up all these points and how bad.
02:09But, like, somebody's not playing defense well.
02:13He keeps going.
02:14You know, he tries all these rotations.
02:17It's 5 of 28 in the fourth quarter, by the way.
02:21The Pacers make 18 threes in the game.
02:25So, mm.
02:27Be an interesting offseason for that team.
02:30Yeah.
02:31Because this is it.
02:32I mean, you have to do something drastic.
02:34And I'm guessing they will.
02:36Oh, they can't.
02:37They cannot sell.
02:38There's not a player on that team that is untouchable, man.
02:42I love Bam, but, yeah, everyone is, right?
02:45You and I disagree on Bam, but you keep him, but everybody else is.
02:48I would do whatever it took to shake that thing up.
02:52But they cannot try to sell their fan base.
02:55Hey, we feel good about development of our young guys.
02:59We're going to run it back, basically, with the same team.
03:01They got about a lifetime worth of goodwill after the LeBron thing.
03:06But, you know.
03:07It's about run out.
03:09Yeah, you had the Jimmy runs.
03:11You had a couple of runs to the finals with Jimmy, which were exciting.
03:14You know, the bubble finals, and then the other one.
03:18Then he missed that last shot that would have got you to the finals.
03:20Yeah.
03:20So, you had a few good runs with Jimmy, but, you know.
03:24Yeah, this mediocrity stuff's no good.
03:27Well, it's.
03:28We know about mediocrity.
03:30It's just night to night, and it's, you know, trying to find positives about last night.
03:38I got to tell you, our announcers, both radio and TV, are really positive.
03:42But that's a hard one to get up and go, hey.
03:45I mean, that's a bad team trying to.
03:47I don't want to say trying to lose, because the guys, their guys did play well.
03:52But, but that's the regular season NBA, too, man.
03:55They lost 18 and 19 games.
03:57This wasn't, this.
03:58Yeah.
03:58This is a team that was so bad.
04:01They finally got the, it's hard to be the worst record.
04:03And before yesterday, they were at 16 wins by themselves.
04:07Teams take nights off, man.
04:09That's that league.
04:10That's how that league works.
04:11We talked, I think it was halftime when we talked yesterday.
04:14You go, oh, they put up 75 points.
04:15You know, it's NBA regular season, man.
04:19Some teams take nights off.
04:21I think it's different at the end of the year when you're not playing well.
04:24There's no way his team took a night off.
04:26Although, I see some of the comments people are saying.
04:29You give up that many points?
04:30They weren't into it and didn't do it.
04:32Well, maybe they weren't.
04:33Yeah, they're playing again.
04:34You know, it's a back-to-back.
04:36What are you doing?
04:36Making excuses?
04:37What are you saying?
04:38It's actually the opposite of an excuse.
04:41I think that's what these guys do sometimes.
04:43I think they take nights off.
04:45But it's hard when somebody scores 79 points and a half.
04:48Yeah, what do you blame that on?
04:49For Spoh, for effort.
04:52Yeah, exactly, right?
04:56And you're right.
04:57You would think that these guys would recognize the importance of a game like this at this point in the
05:00season.
05:02Well, Bam seems to think that they play.
05:05Bam's the only one that comes out openly and is frustrated.
05:08Listen, Spoh's tried every rotation.
05:10Someone said, at what point are we putting some of this on Spoh?
05:12Has he lost the locker room?
05:16I guess Spoh gets some of this.
05:18He's a head coach.
05:18We can't get on every other coach and not get on Spoh a little bit if they're not playing better.
05:22I suppose he gets voted best coach of the year every year by his peers, right?
05:27Because they don't think they have very much talent.
05:29The league looks at them and doesn't think this is one of the more talented teams.
05:33Even no matter how many number one picks they have on that team that they're rotating in and out and
05:38injuries and in and out of the lineup.
05:41They'll never fire him.
05:43I mean, I'm guessing he's there for life.
05:44No, he just got a new contract.
05:45Yeah, they'll never fire him.
05:48Yeah, even Spoh might just, if they fired him, Spoh might just, that amount of money.
05:53Well, someone would have him the next, pick him up the next day, but that's not going to happen.
05:57They need to shake out, look, they just don't have the talent on the roster.
06:03They had some guys they thought were going to be.
06:06What do you think of Tyler Hero?
06:08He had a nice game shooting last night.
06:10Everything always goes to Tyler Hero.
06:12Tyler had 30 points last night.
06:14I think everybody knows what Tyler Hero is, right?
06:18He's a guy, I mean, he can score.
06:20He doesn't impact winning.
06:23Right?
06:24I mean, there's a lot of Tyler Hero.
06:25There's a lot of him running around in the NBA.
06:27I tell you, the other part, Bam had a great night.
06:32We talked about, we enjoyed, it was great.
06:35Great, you know, people look at Bam a little different.
06:38And he's had some cold night shooting since then.
06:41Because that's what he is.
06:42Yes.
06:43He's not a great offense, which is why his 80, what was it, 83?
06:46It was amazing.
06:47Yeah.
06:48It's truly remarkable.
06:49Even more bizarre because he's not an offensive player.
06:52Yeah.
06:52I don't disagree with that.
06:54Hey, we got to go to break here.
06:56Searching for answers, bro.
06:57I have none.
06:58I know.
06:59I was waiting for some of those number ones to get better.
07:01And I don't know if they are.
07:02I love that question, though.
07:04What do you think of Tyler Hero?
07:06Because it's just, I mean, he's just, he's been around here for a while now.
07:12And I think the book is out on him.
07:14By the way, they've made their finals run without him, right?
07:17Yeah.
07:18The Jimmy year that was without him.
07:20Didn't he get hurt?
07:20He got hurt in the first game or something.
07:22Yeah.
07:23But then they were knocked out of that thing.
07:25That was he and Jimmy are both out.
07:27No, that was the year they made it.
07:28I think Tyler Hero hurt his hand in the first game.
07:30The last one.
07:31The last one.
07:32He was hurt too, wasn't he?
07:34Tyler and Jimmy were both hurt.
07:35Jimmy was talking.
07:36Yeah.
07:36They were both.
07:36Yeah.
07:36And Jimmy was talking from the bench.
07:38And he told him to shut up.
07:40But the finals run, didn't they do that without Tyler?
07:43I recall.
07:45I think, I'm telling you, I think he hurt his, right?
07:47Jamie's nodding his head.
07:49Yeah.
07:49I'm sure.
07:49Tyler was out for that finals run.
07:51At least the second one.
07:52He was part of the first one in the bubble.
07:54But when they played the Nuggets, Tyler got hurt in like the first playoff game and missed
07:58like the entire playoff run.
08:00Yeah.
08:00I think he got, you think he hurt his hand diving for a ball.
08:03I think you're right.
08:04Well, that was the last one.
08:06He dove and hurt his hand.
08:07But yeah, the last time, yeah, when Jimmy was out, he was yelling from the bench and
08:11that's when everything started snowballing with him.
08:13Right.
08:14Riley ripped him.
08:15That's right.
08:15He's Golden State's issue now.
08:17He's hurt.
08:18He's playing well.
08:19Baptist Elsa.
08:20Great, Woody.
08:21I'm glad.
08:21Go have some coffee.
08:22Go have some coffee with him, Woody.
08:24Jesus.
08:24You love, you love that guy.
08:26Jimmy Butler.
08:27Baptist Elsa, Florida, man.
