2:18

beat the Cavs 107 to 104. No

2:20

Bam Adebayo, who was ruled out with a

2:23

bruised lower back for this game. No Duncan

2:25

Robinson, who flew to Miami to deal with

2:27

his own back issue. Still no Tyler Herro

2:29

or Kevin Love, but this was all

2:32

Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier. 30 points

2:34

for Butler. 24 for Rozier,

2:36

including two step back threes and nine

2:38

total points in the final 90 seconds

2:40

to put the game away. David,

2:43

what did you make of the win and Rozier stepping up

2:45

with the big shots late? It

2:47

was a fantastic game. They showed a

2:50

lot of tenacity. Jimmy Butler consistent throughout

2:52

the game. Nikol Jovic coming back into

2:54

the lineup after having missed the previous

2:56

game. But Terry Rozier being able

2:58

to dominate the way he did late in

3:00

the game. After the Philadelphia

3:02

loss, a lot of people questioning whether

3:04

or not getting rid of Kyle Lowry,

3:06

trading for Terry Rozier in the process

3:08

was the right move. This is why

3:10

you acquired Terry Rozier, because he is

3:12

fearless in the moment, because he just

3:14

doesn't care, because he is such a

3:16

gunner, willing to take those shots when

3:18

nobody else in the Heat roster, even

3:20

Jimmy Butler, weren't willing to take those

3:22

shots. Terry Rozier stepping up, hitting big

3:24

time shot after shot, hitting a four

3:26

point play, then another three point or

3:29

seconds later, sealing the

3:31

game with two free throws. What an incredible

3:33

performance. This is what makes Miami so much

3:35

more dangerous. I think that even last year's

3:37

team that went all the way to the

3:39

NBA finals, because you have the complimentary score,

3:41

so much pressure put on Jimmy Butler, the

3:44

front office, and everybody else to see whether

3:46

or not this team could become

3:48

even better or perhaps seal the deal

3:50

and finally win a championship during the

3:52

Jimmy Butler era. The acquisition of Terry

3:54

Rozier is what makes them more dangerous.

3:56

I know it's been inconsistent. I know

3:58

it hasn't always been this good. The when

4:00

he stepped up like this, this shows give

4:02

you a glimpse of exactly what he's capable

4:04

of. A wise agitators. Score! That's.

4:07

It right. That's why you make the

4:09

trade. Kyle Lowry of the stages careers

4:11

you just wasn't. Signal shots use Not

4:14

a factor of pensively Terrorists year. Twenty

4:16

point score in Charlotte. Overall, I know

4:18

people have had concerns about Terrorists years

4:20

efficiency since joining in Miami. But. You

4:22

look at his larger body of work and

4:25

look he hasn't been. Look. At

4:27

it's consistent in terms of like a

4:29

fish and scoring. By. He.

4:31

Was more efficient than he was in Miami,

4:34

and when presented with a large sample and

4:36

a small sample, I tend to go the

4:38

large sample and so I always assumed that

4:40

eventually it will snap back to the point

4:42

of heroes, you're being an efficient score. And

4:44

tonight was one of those nights. I mean

4:47

overall, eight of sixteen, so fifty percent shooting

4:49

overall, five or six, some three point range

4:51

and men were some of those three pointers.

4:53

Tough that he made twenty four points overall.

4:56

On. A night that the heat. Desperately.

4:58

Needed it. Jimmy Butler at twenty points in the first

5:01

half of this game and then just ten in the

5:03

entire second half. bruised. Here is your swung eleven of

5:05

in. Ah, twenty four points in

5:07

the fourth quarter. Unlike our to said. Nine.

5:09

Points In the final ninety seconds to put

5:12

this game away I was texting with are

5:14

locked on. Cats Host Chris Manning of was

5:16

at the Collier. And he was

5:18

like. Terrorists. Years is gonna make

5:20

a couple big satellite and put this away than in

5:22

any texted me that the all that the eight minute

5:25

mark of the fourth quarter and I was like i

5:27

don't know we'll see what they had officers it's going

5:29

to be a klutz game and we both call that

5:31

a when have been split. Miami gave up in another

5:33

eleven point lead and the bad guys game as heroes.

5:36

The Or makes the big shots late. On.

5:38

You. Know this this is t are permitted. You're

5:40

exactly right. This is why. This. Is

5:43

why you traded heroes The are you just need another

5:45

guy? Who. Can do this. Sometimes.

5:48

You'll need to do it all the time, right? Any

5:50

Jimmy Butler do this all the time, You just kind

5:52

of just need him below to score. Around.

5:54

Thirty points and night. If you're going to get to where he

5:56

does he want to go, That's just the way that the steam

5:59

is built, even when Banner. It was healthy but you need

6:01

of which memory bio you the points from these other

6:03

guys. But. Between Zero Zero tile hero

6:05

Duncan Roberts and even kill a Martin Honey

6:07

hackers. Lake. They just have more

6:09

of those guys who could just a

6:11

rubbed for eighteen, twenty twenty four points

6:13

on any given night. And those the

6:15

kinds of games when when they're done

6:17

by your role players that can kind

6:19

of tilt. A. Game from an L

6:21

to W and that's what happened. That

6:24

know are at i look got a bleak be asking

6:26

I really did not think. Miami. With

6:28

your be able matter gonna come back So shut

6:30

up the crypt manning who might be a little

6:32

bit of a fatalist especially when it comes to

6:34

the Cavaliers in terms of whether that will be

6:36

able or luckily and we should point out with

6:38

no A.of and Mitchell they were missing Max through

6:40

snow Evan Mobley so they were with their fair

6:42

share of missing players to but he just had

6:44

a big the widow with the Indiana Pacers on

6:46

Monday. a close game for them or that they

6:48

won the i have an expiring minutes of the

6:50

game. And. You. Know it's very

6:53

good team. A great defensive team even without those

6:55

cute key players that we mentioned and they look

6:57

like they were doing a really good job of

6:59

the Fedex, Jimmy Butler and the second half. Ah,

7:02

I think you're Jared. Allen is is probably

7:04

having an underrated season by a lot of

7:07

fans. He's really really good to speak body

7:09

of there is really good at finishing at

7:11

the rim obviously, but he's a how the

7:13

rebounding shop ocker, etc on it isn't very

7:16

brilliant plan to repost. Yeah, he's a monster

7:18

out there that a despite that. Miami.

7:20

May the adjustments and maybe sometimes it's just

7:23

crazy While shots like you pointed out allow

7:25

them were really tough shots from Brazil, but

7:27

his willingness to take them. Is Huge.

7:29

It's not like. He's. Just putting up

7:31

really bad shots. It's the as it's within

7:34

his repertoire, right? The side step, three pointer.

7:36

the fate of ways those are. Think that

7:38

he's taken to write, his career and and

7:40

for better for worse. All that what meal

7:42

which makes him. So. Inefficient. At times

7:45

when he's willing to take him on windows

7:47

shots, fall he becomes it's a dangerous player

7:49

and you just need that complimentary score. Like

7:51

he said, you know there's a lot of

7:53

weapons out there for Miami to add one

7:55

more the arsenal like to see even as

7:57

a theoretical what would Kyle have done in

7:59

that situation. Maybe you would have been on the

8:01

for, maybe not. We saw last year he wasn't

8:03

even closer. Given the injuries may be doubt that

8:05

they are the border here he be out there

8:07

but. What? Would he have that deferring to

8:09

Jimmy? Lead Jimmy. Take those reporters what. I would

8:11

have walked it up or he would have been

8:14

came up with tastes but then pitched it to

8:16

Jimmy coming off of some screens had a said

8:18

some small guard things which the Cavs did an

8:20

awesome job sticking to their guys and not get

8:22

it's not giving my name is a switch is

8:24

that they wanted. often times it's still ended up

8:27

being a koro or lover their best when defenders

8:29

available. On Jimmy Butler Terrorists

8:31

your whoever was in. The Jimmy

8:33

Butler hit a crazy turn around eighteen footer

8:35

in the fourth Quarter. It's ah over a

8:37

lover did not get the switch you wanna

8:39

it took the shot, made it so he

8:41

made a big shots late to to speak

8:43

to how hard those terrorists your shots were.

8:45

Obviously just. In a vacuum, stepping back

8:47

against one of Cleveland's better when defenders and making

8:49

that shot, getting fouled on one of them and

8:52

then going to the line and converting on the

8:54

four point play like that stuff by itself. Is.

8:56

Difficult. It's especially difficult.

8:59

When. The entire offense has been in

9:01

the mud. For. Discover your four

9:03

minutes and these are not just like big

9:05

shots that you happen to make when your

9:07

team. Is. Making a bunch assassin. it's

9:10

a little contagious and you just make a tough

9:12

shots with everybody else is a tough shots and

9:14

your team is in the mud and nothing's working

9:16

here. I started tracking. The. Last

9:18

four minutes here of Miami's off and it

9:20

was not pretty for a couple of minutes

9:22

there. So here's bases, what happens. Or.

9:24

Jimmy Butler goes into a post up at the end of

9:27

the clock, does that at the switch, said he wants gives

9:29

up a bad shot. That's what happens. They miss. Next.

9:31

Play Heroes Year. Ah, ends up like a bunch

9:33

of guys are sort of screen for each other.

9:35

Pass the ball around with no real plant. Heroes

9:38

year ends up going at the Caleb from like

9:40

five feet away. There's. Absolutely no spacing kill

9:42

of brushes a corner three pointer at the

9:44

end of the clock. It. Doesn't go in

9:46

so that was a bad position. Next possession legally

9:49

of it's drives into the big the fence which

9:51

didn't. Turn. Into any rotations basically

9:53

grievance big defenders Jared Allen or Braille

9:55

sister their weight from the com and

9:57

just forced them to pass without a.

10:00

The guys that it it that he did the

10:02

same things fake tries and kicks in. The Cleveland's

10:04

not rotating the events. That. Around pass

10:06

around. Ends up getting a nickel

10:08

corner three that he missed at the

10:10

end of the clock. So another rust

10:12

bad or possession and then a Jimmy

10:14

Butler drive with high may not really

10:16

spacing. Ah, I may kind of not

10:18

eat like he's on the same size or was him and

10:20

and decide pick and roll I'm is still feeling that side

10:23

with i'm filling it always the corner. He's still a great

10:25

there. By. The posts are terrible spacing. Ah

10:27

and and then they were fortunate that George being

10:29

fouled killer Martin and that's what ended up stopping

10:31

the run with two minutes. it was a bad

10:34

two minutes and then after that is when Para

10:36

Zero makes the first step back three and a

10:38

shortly after that makes the others that factory So.

10:40

That's. How big this was. If not for rosier

10:43

up reading something out of nothing. The heat lose

10:45

this game. They blow the lead. They lose this

10:47

game and we're here doing another post game show

10:49

asking what happened. Instead we're doing a post show.

10:51

Thanks! This is why you got scary carrying the

10:53

first place. This. Is this of

10:55

be Arts right about? In terms of basketball

10:57

by pure iso gunning you know the last

10:59

of the true gutters theory. Rovere here to

11:01

picking up the ball. I do it would

11:04

be to be don't like it. It was

11:06

really persona Cora good with defenders. You put

11:08

it up before as a sizable height advantage

11:10

over I'm he saw. Get that step back.

11:12

A really really impressive play program was in

11:15

a great display of lot of fun to

11:17

watch with Miami. comes away with a bakery.

11:19

have those shots room that you know a

11:21

getaway would be a very different zones the

11:23

whole. Podcast what is willing to take I

11:26

think should be lauded either. and now you

11:28

have Have you have Tyler what He comes

11:30

back from injury. So have Jimmy Bam with

11:32

the ever bursting three point shots I may

11:34

act as a secular shut the fourth Killer

11:36

Martin As you said before like these guys

11:38

have taken be shot in the past. That's.

11:40

Just. it's a much more well rounded cast

11:42

and has been the path of said it

11:44

all season lot. I think this team is

11:46

deeper. Whether record doesn't necessarily reflect that, their

11:48

deeper, they're better. they've got more options. Now

11:50

that's why you acquire de resistance to give

14:42

into the cookie jar the cookie can get into

14:44

the kitchen. The take on that I met a

14:47

lifetime eat. It's time to hand out some credit

14:49

cookies for another heat. When. Who's getting

14:51

cookies the night you put out the poll?

14:53

You know who gets more cookies of the

14:56

terrorists? Here is it's Jimmy Butler. I've

14:58

gotta disagree with most of the people who responded

15:00

are giving the bulk of the credit cookies to

15:03

Jimmy Butler. The fact that he came back after

15:05

missing a couple games and he was as good

15:07

as he was early to help set the pace

15:09

like Miami doesn't have a lead to blow the

15:12

first place if not for Jimmy Butler. and while

15:14

theory rosier stepped up late to bother with the

15:16

one of his carry them for seventy five percent

15:18

of the game. Thirty points. As you mentioned before,

15:21

six or seven for the lives of a new

15:23

officiating rules did it really cut into a scoring

15:25

all that much to go on with Four rebounds,

15:27

five assists for. Steals how many of those

15:29

place where you're into the where he intercepted

15:31

passage simply boy his way into the passing

15:34

lane took the boy was able to break

15:36

free for an open basket. Change the course

15:38

of the game, especially get early in the

15:40

first half or Cleaver did come back. I

15:42

think Jimmy Butler gives Miami a better chance

15:44

of winning the game because he was so

15:46

good early aughts, but you got three credit

15:48

cookies for Terry Rosier. Maybe not a perfectly

15:50

efficient night earlier the game or for him

15:52

to be able step up and hit those

15:54

big shots late. What a turnaround! Great to

15:56

have him on the roster. Great. To see all

15:59

the team gonna rally. Behind a better yet

16:01

so shots. Really great for have and then

16:03

I've got three credit cookies. Want a piece.

16:06

To. Thomas Bryant. Orlando.

16:08

Robinson and Nico Yogurt You comes back from

16:11

injury and is a the starting lineup right

16:13

Again I will have a look what your

16:15

which did hitting a big shot. Really?

16:18

Good on this of defensive positions

16:20

as well. Nikki some sharp passes

16:22

spacing the floor Also was for

16:24

a ten for of ten from

16:26

three point range that's forty percent.

16:28

It's fantastic to go with fourteen

16:30

points, but Thomas bride polling that

16:32

ten rebounds muslim his way. Not

16:34

an easy assignment. To. Take our Jared

16:36

Allen but I think he held his own and when

16:38

he comes out back to the best. Actors.

16:40

You need to give him arrested support given the

16:42

fact the has a play a lot of minutes

16:44

all season or later. Robinson fresh off a game

16:46

with the soup or Skype or system night before

16:49

steps up big has a nice moments there. a

16:51

good point that's a big rebates getting some shot

16:53

at the rim really that hit a three pointer

16:55

is well if I'm a guy yeah he was

16:57

one of one for three point range from the

16:59

corner. Great shot from him seem take it. It

17:02

was really really good game for him. So I

17:04

as a the my my five recipients of credit

17:06

cookies to make our Shaquille it marked as well

17:08

who did not score very well Tonight. But

17:10

did a really good job defensively or number possesses.

17:13

So. I had basically the same names written down.

17:15

I had maybe two cookies going to Bryant, one to

17:17

Old All and Robinson and a shoutout to Nuclear Which

17:19

but I'm okay fair even all them a cookie am

17:21

I can argue with you on that sneakily all that

17:24

you mentioned on things that he did well as well

17:26

said one other thing I would add. Ah,

17:28

especially in that fourth quarter. Said.

17:31

He a lot of screens for Jeff Butler. It

17:33

was basically Jimmy calling me go up and and

17:35

already mentioned Aclu hundred. Such a great job navigating

17:37

those things but even if nickel you have it

17:39

was just reading a little bit of space. A

17:42

little something for Jimmy. That. Was fine.

17:44

But to me the more interesting part of it

17:46

was that Jimmy was asking for him to set

17:48

the screens in the moments that mattered the most.

17:50

And. I think the way that your which

17:53

has developed as a screen center, he's doing

17:55

it more physically. He's obviously added the weight.

17:57

Need talk to us last week about authentic

17:59

reading? More muscle in his build and kind of

18:01

choosing the frame and turning his body around. Arm.

18:04

And you just tell that that's true based on

18:06

the way to have that in those screens you

18:08

that bay I'm at a screen Sarah, I'm Thomas

18:10

Bryant yet but he writing better and I just

18:12

think it's noteworthy. I'm. Jimmy. Butler.

18:14

I. Am with you. For. Credit cookies

18:17

for him in three for Terrorists your sound

18:19

that that feels right to me. Ah, considering

18:21

the body of work that Jimmy Butler put

18:23

into this game. Thirty points. His first thirty

18:25

point game since March. Second: his first twenty

18:27

point game in ten days it has not

18:29

been play. Op. Jimmy. Very. Much.

18:32

Very. Often recently. Ah. and then he

18:34

gets to games off obviously. And then

18:36

he comes back and. In. I made

18:39

the joke on twitter. I was like hey, I think everybody's

18:41

got. I think everybody's freaking out about Jimmy Butler too much.

18:43

As long as you may to play once every ten days,

18:45

he'll be just fine. On. But that's

18:47

what it's like. Lucky was rose retard.

18:49

I'd any that recharge and you hope

18:51

that this is something. That. Can.

18:54

Create some juice, For. The

18:56

next few weeks, especially with this homestand coming

18:58

up against some tough teams are just starting

19:01

friday against New Orleans and then they obviously

19:03

have the cows again, On. Sunday night.

19:05

that time at this as and are so. Love.

19:08

To see that version? Jimmy Butler and when he's

19:10

doing that. It. Makes everything

19:12

so much easier. It makes Terrorists year.

19:14

Sort. Of a release valve and and a

19:17

guy who to kinda make some relief shots

19:19

and big satellites and that a guy that

19:21

Unicef relying on it allows. Kill. Of

19:23

our Anaheim a hawk as just to score your eight

19:25

points apiece or whatever it was for them. Seven points

19:28

for high may. Four. Points for calibrates eight

19:30

points for in a Robinson off the bench. but

19:32

you get to be biologists handing them all off

19:34

Orlando or times brian under the it in the

19:36

dunker spots finding Jaime Hoc As or Kill Martin

19:38

cutting it just allows those guys to play off

19:41

of him. Instead. Of are playing instead

19:43

of him and so trying to score and been

19:45

in beautiful from of the op and instead of

19:47

him it just me it's everything just falls into

19:49

place And we already talked enough about Zero Zero.

19:51

We should expect a little bit more Thomas Bryant

19:53

and Orlando Robinson because I thought they were both

19:55

excellent. on a night without the amount of bio

19:58

it has been an up and down here Bryant

20:00

and has been up and down here for Orlando.

20:02

Now my be putting it nicely. Offer. Those

20:04

guys and with no bam still know

20:06

Kevin, Love and even was spoke. Playing.

20:09

Me: Go. At. Center to close both

20:11

has those. Gave me the most of their

20:13

minutes. It was. Fifteen.

20:16

Minutes for Thomas Bryant. And.

20:18

Just under thirty minutes for Orlando

20:20

Robinson. And. Look, I'd but they gave.

20:22

What does that? Do the math for me.

20:24

Fifteen Twenty Eight Thirteen Twenty Twenty. A solid

20:26

minutes. sustainably, not spectacular. They did not outplayed

20:29

your down that even played the job Allen's

20:31

levels but that was that. The job that

20:33

I was not the assignment was don't get

20:35

torched. And. They didn't get torched and

20:37

they didn't lose those minutes by very much

20:39

either. Are actually more into Robinson. They outscored

20:41

the The Cows in. Our. By four

20:43

points in Atlanta Robinson's minutes and elsewhere them by

20:45

six points and thomas pints minute so that. Everybody.

20:48

Gascon. much better than that. Nor.

20:50

At me I think collectively you we watch

20:52

these guys playing a you're going to have

20:55

a gram negative perception because Bright has been

20:57

so clunky particularly defensively, he just hasn't had

20:59

a lot opportunity this minutes haven't popped at

21:01

all but the have a big body there

21:04

to be able to describe pull down as

21:06

rebounds and he was very Kevin Love ask

21:08

in terms of like just grabbing onto the

21:10

ball at he wasn't letting it go and

21:13

and it was so far from Miami to

21:15

be able to retain those rebound so that

21:17

they could limit. Second, Chance points for

21:19

the cleaver side of things. When you have such an

21:21

act of rebounder, twenty rebounds get for Jared Allen like

21:23

you want to be able keep mop the glass good

21:26

if that is going to be able to lay it

21:28

up. Draw fouls, dish it to somebody else at attacker

21:30

spot like there were so many different. Things.

21:32

That could have changed had he not been able

21:34

to pull down the sports and ten rebounds those

21:36

military play fifty minutes. That's what the heck of

21:38

a night. And terms of his production. Ah, you

21:40

know you're not going to counter much. Scoring was

21:42

over to from three point range but again of

21:44

the willingness the ability to take the shot. we

21:46

kind of. And it

21:48

at the start of the preseason like I

21:50

think it was Bobby Marks. I don't remember

21:52

exactly where that he has be a pundit.

21:55

Talking. About Miami having the best backup

21:57

center in the league. Of course the.

22:00

Yeah, but not with Zach at a river. Exactly

22:02

who it was. Mostly the coach the web at

22:04

a glamorous lower back. So yeah, Yeah,

22:06

in any case, you know that was the

22:08

expectation, right? Is even showing good minutes in

22:10

the preseason eventually. Last favor with the coaching

22:13

staff just really didn't seem to ever find

22:15

a way to thrive there. But.

22:17

That to have him as a legitimate

22:19

weapon, someone who can't you to three

22:21

who can't body up down low. The

22:23

defensive issues are still. You know

22:26

they're going to be there because I didn't accept

22:28

the nature of who he at the stage in

22:30

his career, but he's gotten better I think at

22:32

and tonight he was solid overall and again just

22:34

a rebounding is such a big part of what

22:37

helped make him spoil efficient and help miami be

22:39

able to build that leader early on. Get. Classic.

22:42

Easter, Jimmy Butler terrorists year, Thomas Bryant,

22:44

Orlando Robinson and neatly of it's congratulations

22:46

We get Pat Riley some gifts for

22:49

23:07

certain things can fairly start to get to

23:09

23:13

they should be a statement there is unfortunately

23:16

about talking about your feelings. I know at

23:18

a men in particular have a hard time

23:24

Keep it, keep it, cannot push it down

23:26

23:28

that's become very dangerous and as a society

23:30

and glad that we're being much more open

23:32

and he would recover. Athletes for a Living.

23:35

And those athletes have been much more open

23:37

about the stress that they still have a

23:39

daily basis. That kind of challenges some mental

23:41

health. And. If you're going to suck but

23:43

humor you, just want to talk about whatever she's you might.

23:46

Be. Going through or whatever concerns you might

23:48

have urges are get to get something off

the fantasy playoffs. It might be your final

25:03

match up, your second round, the beginning of

25:05

your points. But. What you need to

25:07

pay attention to at this point the season is

25:09

the M B A schedule. You need to be

25:11

getting as many games in as possible. You need

25:14

to be looking at the Fringe guys on your

25:16

roster and saying are they hurt like playing three

25:18

games with. I got a street a stretch where

25:20

they don't play because of the schedule. Well you

25:22

move on. Getting four games in

25:25

five games in through that one roster

25:27

spots three players who are worse than

25:29

the original plan is a big benefit.

In the Fantasy playoffs, get both games

25:33

in. Be brutal with your cats. It's

25:35

knows there's no tomorrow in the playoffs.

25:37

You've gotta pay attention to maximizing games

played. Moving on from players who are

25:42

out or injured or in doubt are

25:44

informed slumps. Work. For the

26:14

me David. That

26:17

rally to and seventy nine on Wednesday. What?

26:21

Would you get him for his birthday? If you could give

26:23

him anything? You

26:25

know you proposes Christian and I

26:27

thought. It would he get for the

26:30

men who has everything I remember reading. Like.

26:32

A. Blood. In the garden by

26:34

a Chris Herring and talking about the kind of

26:36

details that Pat had a woven into his contract

26:38

and I forgot like he's a part owner. the

26:40

team, the if the cap per diem I don't

26:42

know that. so the case, I don't I've noticed

26:44

that my time he was brushes with. I.

26:46

Was brought in be the coach another he's retired

26:49

as coach like like I can't imagine the idea

26:51

of of a V C O getting a check

26:53

for like three hundred hours a day or whatever

26:55

as part of his per diem like that would

26:57

be to silly oh a pretty much government the

27:00

ownership stake in the ownership stake yet I still

27:02

got there for yeah A getting a pretty other

27:04

just seems a little odd likely but he bought

27:06

his house they had a car that have occurred

27:08

yes chauffeur service like personal chef like all these

27:11

different banks of this is a guy was had

27:13

everything he's had like is he was alway when

27:15

L A was just growing. As a team

27:17

you know and just the so time era

27:19

and everything else like that you are not

27:21

whistling. Ever been a Tv show? Yeah yeah.

27:23

he's had everything Like I was thinking like

27:26

when you get like it's favorite musicians you

27:28

get Bruce Springsteen to sing i'm a really

27:30

hoarse voice Happy Birthday Allah Marilyn Monroe out

27:32

and up it's gonna do it for packed

27:34

his point time. The reasons I don't like.

27:38

It so. To me was the

27:40

only things. That.

27:43

You have you been a fan of

27:45

either though as that gonna cut it

27:47

for of sight outta here. I.

27:49

Think either. The only thing that really matter to power

27:51

outages. point time is a chair project from. That's what

27:53

I get up and I know it would make a

27:55

lot of people happy. Met Vic. Maybe that's too easy.

27:57

Get up there championships. We can finally as was. Like

28:00

a decade ago so he could finally retire.

28:02

A. Go to that convertible that he kept in

28:04

the garage and it's Malibu Mansion. Sub is Malibu

28:07

Beach. As said, he gets his dry rotted sunset

28:09

a little bit more proud and and get what

28:11

does it hurt? Even know how many championships? Totally

28:13

as now I can't remember the math exactly, but

28:15

the ticket have another rank at all he wants.

28:18

He wants to give me a ring he wants

28:20

to ring for himself. I think it would be

28:22

really really justify. Ah,

28:24

I'm yeah I'm going to say getting Lebron

28:26

James so number in case he lost a

28:28

be get him looted and just contact for

28:30

the i like them. I like that. yeah

28:32

like that. I just one more one more

28:34

star, one more chance to put the rings

28:36

on the mainland. Get one more superstar. Ah

28:38

that's how you get that next three I

28:40

one more superstar. maybe a time machine to

28:42

go get like prime the way back and

28:44

been bring him back to twenty twenty four

28:46

and. And. Put him in and so

28:49

is that podcasting and studies. Scrap and sense

28:51

to Amazon and Score and the League For

28:53

a couple years I'd be great on Ios

28:55

gets them are real questions as on comes

28:57

from. Andrew is scary. Terry our new closer.

28:59

Seriously though, you can see of it's getting

29:01

more minutes other than his normal two stints

29:03

in the class of sites such as two

29:05

separate questions. Will talk about your

29:07

vagina little bit and supply of stuff. Is Harry Harry

29:09

our new closer is the question from Andrew. I.

29:12

Think we kind of address it early on. I

29:14

don't think he's the closer. Per se is one

29:16

of many options that you have as a closer.

29:19

You've got to be bothered. Everybody kind of forgets

29:21

with all the. The. Trashing of

29:23

of Tyler here that's been so

29:25

fashionable of late. That. He was

29:28

viewed as more the closures of my him

29:30

like he has Brooks I remember every the

29:32

seen by myself his rookie season when you

29:34

off covering the warriors and a key stepped

29:36

up big and like a number of occasions

29:38

that I remember spouse saying and and post

29:40

game press conference before the pandemic. You know

29:42

this, we've got a lotta guys who embrace

29:44

the moment who live for this who love

29:46

the challenge of being able to close games

29:48

and I was one of them and we

29:51

kind of forgot that. I. Don't think

29:53

he's have a lot of opportunity because you're Jimmy's

29:55

be kind of try to come into his own.

29:57

You've got back at a Bio stepping up in

29:59

that opportunity. Sometimes. And are you got

30:01

there? He received you. So. I think you

30:03

just have a lot about it. I don't think he's

30:05

the closer. I still think it's ultimately Jimmy. But.

30:08

If something breaks down, I think Jimmy would have

30:10

to admit that he's probably more comfortable dishing it

30:12

out to our Tyler or Terry Rosier or something

30:14

along those lines because of the way that they

30:16

kept up recently. That's. Exactly

30:18

right. You. Play Off and Jimmy Butler. Whether.

30:21

He's taking the shot or creating the shot from

30:24

somebody else. It's very liberal like as a net

30:26

worth of one doesn't have to take the final

30:28

shot, but he didn't create the final shot for

30:30

him or for somebody else attitude. But going to

30:32

do. And we've seen defenses keen on Jimmy more

30:34

than ever. kind of. During the stretch the regular

30:36

seasons are packing the paint, doubling him early in

30:39

the clock and all those thing on what's that

30:41

going to do can open up. things are terrorists.

30:43

You're gonna open up things fertile hero to open

30:45

up and for bam and a bio under the

30:47

basket or maybe from three point range since of

30:49

several years now and more. So of

30:52

that. Interestingly enough, Bam is my name is

30:54

leading fourth quarter. Score The sniper. Now that's

30:56

partly because he plays more minutes he was

30:58

ten minutes at each fourth quarter. Jimmy obviously

31:00

take full of the rest in the fourth

31:02

quarter than comes in later are points per

31:05

possession. Jimmy Butler still leads the team. In

31:07

the fourth quarter in in fourth quarter points

31:09

per possession terrorists years actually second slightly ahead.

31:13

Bam at a bio This next question.

31:15

Comes. From Brian is this city more perplexing

31:17

than last hours? Between not sure who's playing, what

31:20

kind of effort you're gonna get from certain players,

31:22

the team as a whole on any given night,

31:24

we could be quick with this one to the

31:26

feels like we've been talking about this. Ah,

31:29

Been there last couple months. The answer's

31:31

yes. I thought last year's team. Was.

31:33

Perplexing because. It. Always felt

31:36

like they would have a great possession. And.

31:38

In the great possession would end up getting an open

31:40

three pointer and somebody would clank that the the three

31:42

point and I was like a cat. Self esteem is

31:44

good or not because they're getting good looks but they

31:46

can't make the good luck so I don't have teams

31:49

good but that was it. That was sort of like.

31:51

The. End of my that was my only question about the team

31:53

and those three started going in and they want to the final

31:55

so turns out that they were good. This.

31:58

Year. I. Don't know anything about this. The. He

32:00

was always hurt and I don't even what it looks like

32:02

and I'm leaving know the powered starting five is and there's

32:04

is that just had so many other question so the answer

32:06

quickly as yes. Yeah, I

32:08

tend to agree with that. I I don't know.

32:10

I think it's kind of like an extension of

32:12

I see or maybe just a different variation of

32:14

the confusion that began last year. But it it

32:16

is a little bit more confusing just because they

32:19

do have all these different players that are just

32:21

trying to assimilate and in get incorporated and find

32:23

out exactly what they can do and when they

32:25

can do it at Ces have been a challenge

32:27

for fans and. In. Cousins in the coaches

32:29

in South, so I just it's interesting to see a

32:31

bite out of the courses. Let's. Do this

32:33

in one minute. Mark rights and after Thomas Brian's

32:36

decent little Stinson I do. You think he crime

32:38

the playoff rotation if he continues playing solid minutes

32:40

in recent, I don't think so. I don't I

32:42

I I wish I could say otherwise just for

32:44

his sake, but at the same time I I

32:47

think we kind of of have forgotten. You know,

32:49

conveniently when Kevin Love is brought to the table

32:51

and has strength, and that these moments, the fact

32:53

that he's played a big moments before I could

32:55

he got those minutes last year to another was

32:58

a really another option. But I don't think Thomas

33:00

By I know it either, is an option. And

33:02

smoking, Go to. Him if he says you know

33:04

what, let's change things up but it seems really

33:06

unlikely. He goes smaller in the playoffs really sets

33:08

out spoke typically has at the you bring Kevin

33:11

off the bench. In. I've kevin's hurt and

33:13

that's always a possibility of his age are given that

33:15

that the top grind of the play offs. Maybe.

33:18

Bring it a guy like Bryant, but I don't think it's likely.

33:21

Ah, this time it's fine to me is like a

33:23

first round in the playoffs kind of guy. Media little

33:25

bit in the second round, but he's not conference finals

33:27

guys on and a finals guy. That's basically what it

33:29

was for him in Denver last year, right? He was

33:32

not in a rotation. By. Time the finals

33:34

can about it. There's a match up against Philadelphia,

33:36

Orlando, Cleveland, New York, and a bigger teams. Maybe

33:38

he got some run the you nailed it. Kevin

33:40

Love If he's healthy, I just don't know where

33:43

the spot is for Thomas Bryant. other than may

33:45

be situational foul trouble something like that in those

33:47

specific match ups, but there's a difference between. We

33:49

always have a plan for patients with a difference.

33:51

Didn't First round of the playoffs. And

33:54

as you go deeper in the blast rotations shorten,

33:56

they change and like you said it and just

33:58

go with you better players. maybe even discuss. Small

34:00

succumbs. Finally me. It won't be a factor
