Jimmy Butler talks after a triple double in a losing effort... is Jimmy being frosty? Does anyone around the league spark our interest? Was Jimmy potentially auditioning for another team? Kevin Durant to the Heat? Tobin does his best to defend his point that they "may" be back.
Transcript
00:00Uh, the heat they lost last night in overtime, uh, very frustrating a game.
00:04They were 19.
00:06They come all the way back.
00:08They tie it, go to overtime, take an eight point lead, eight, nothing
00:12run to start overtime, Tim Hardaway.
00:14Then hits three straight threes.
00:16Bang, bang, bang.
00:17Jimmy Butler gets a bucket with no shoe on while he's getting his shoe.
00:21Cade Cunningham then gets a bucket and the Miami heat end up losing 125, 124.
00:27Jimmy Butler.
00:27This is his stat line from last night.
00:2935 points, 19 rebounds, 10 assists, four steals, one block.
00:34Tyler Hero, uh, was tremendous in the fourth quarter.
00:38Uh, this was Jimmy after the game on scoring a bucket with no shoes, something
00:42we haven't seen the likes since Mike Miller, the sneaker play is, is there
00:47a decision to be made about either get back on defense or get the shoe or
00:51just playing on a sock is that not even an option on that play yet?
00:53Uh,
00:55I gotta put my shoe back on.
00:57Um, I don't know.
00:58Maybe I should have ran down there without a shoe.
01:00I don't know.
01:01I'll take the blame for it.
01:02And it makes me no difference.
01:04I like it.
01:04Put all the pressure on, on my side.
01:07I take it.
01:07I love it.
01:08I love all the adversity.
01:10Um, maybe I gotta do better.
01:11Maybe I gotta do more, but I hate losing.
01:13I despise losing.
01:16Uh,
01:20that, well, uh, Steven Stevens is right.
01:24That wasn't the best shot.
01:30Yeah.
01:32Well, it wasn't even that it was like a bad three.
01:37It was, uh,
01:41he, uh, he had Duran on him.
01:43So I think he was probably like, you know, looking, he's like,
01:45yeah, can I drive past this guy?
01:46I mean, look, Tyler hero was on the heater from three.
01:49That's as good a shot as he is at in league.
01:52Right?
01:53No, I know I'm not, I'm not again with the amount of time that was left.
01:59Did he have to take it?
02:00Right.
02:00Well, the first thing that happened, remember like they inbounded it,
02:04they gave it to Jim.
02:05It was very confusing.
02:05Is the broadcaster that he were in the bonus?
02:07Yeah.
02:08Well, well, yeah, they filed Jimmy and we thought Jimmy was going to take shots.
02:12Right.
02:13They had a file to give.
02:14Yeah.
02:14And they, for some reason there was a graphic mistake on the, on the heats
02:17broadcast, so they had them in the bonus on the, on the ticker, but they were not.
02:21So Jimmy ends up getting his own miss.
02:23He gets fouled on the way up.
02:25Then the, he'd have to re reset and inbound.
02:28And as you said, it gets to Tyler hero.
02:29He shoots the three.
02:30No good.
02:31Um, yeah, I liked the original play that they drew up obviously, but that's,
02:35that's what they, that's what they rolled with.
02:37And, um, but you know, look, you blow an eight, nothing.
02:42I mean, an eight lead at any point in time.
02:45I mean, that's crazy.
02:46That, that part is unheard of.
02:49Almost unheard of as coming back from a 19 point deficit.
02:52So like, yeah, I, uh, both sides of that in a short period of time.
02:59Do you, uh, you guys read into anything about Jimmy saying there though, like
03:03a little bit of a frostiness where he's like, nah, I just think he hates losing.
03:10So, and he doesn't care where the blame goes.
03:13He just hates losing.
03:14So if you want to blame somebody, if, you know, basically saying
03:18if the streets need a body, I'll be that body, but I hate losing
03:22how Magus is great audition game for Jimmy.
03:25I don't like that.
03:27I mean, I don't like that.
03:29I don't like that.
03:30I don't like his warrior shoes either.
03:32He did look good though.
03:34He looked great.
03:36He's going to look great on Friday too.
03:38Big game.
03:38I thought you were going to say you didn't look great on golden state.
03:41No, he's retiring with the heat.
03:43You sure about that?
03:44No, no.
03:45Okay.
03:46All right.
03:46Unless you've been, at least you're being honest,
03:55but let me ask you a question.
03:57Yeah.
03:57And this is from the biggest whale watcher.
04:02There is.
04:06What if what you get makes you happy?
04:10Nothing of what I've seen will make me happy.
04:12The only thing that, the only thing that will make me happy, kind of happy is like
04:17I said, if the sun's thing happens and that equals getting Durant, that's it.
04:22Why you want to rant?
04:23That's it.
04:23That's the only thing that that's the only consolation prize is, you know, at
04:27least I get to watch Durant in a heat uniform.
04:29I mean, it feels like something we've been chasing.
04:30Imagine Durant bam and Kalel on the front.
04:35It'd be fun.
04:36Yeah.
04:38That's the only thing that would make me happy, but it doesn't seem like
04:40they're going to trade Durant, even though it doesn't seem, even though listen,
04:43Durant is always miserable.
04:44You want to talk about guys who are, are surly Durant make a stink.
04:50I don't see.
04:51He doesn't make a state.
04:53Uh, he made the stink the one time, but then he didn't make it.
04:56Then he, then he relented on the stink and he ended up getting
04:59traded in the middle of the year.
05:01Right.
05:02Either way.
05:03Um, but you notice every team that has appeased the rent has ended up being
05:10miserable.
05:10So, Hey, I want to go to this team.
05:12Then that team ends up being miserable.
05:14Hey, I want to go to, you know, with Kyrie and, and, and that team ends up being
05:19miserable.
05:20Now he's in Phoenix and, you know, I don't know what, and are the three in
05:31Phoenix, were they better than the three in, in, um, in New Jersey or Brooklyn?
05:38The only thing that makes them better.
05:40I would say like, it seems like the three that they had with Kyrie
05:45and that team was cursed.
05:46Like they, they never played together.
05:48You had the whole injuries with harden injuries with Durant.
05:52You had, uh, the, the vaccine stuff with Kyrie.
05:56Then he was away from the team, you know, like that, that just, the whole
05:59thing was a combustible disaster, probably talent wise.
06:03Yeah.
06:03I would say like, you know, I'm just saying those three in general.
06:06Yeah.
06:06I mean, Bill's not in those guys' classes, right?
06:11And they're going to try and get the heat to trade for him.
06:13You ever hear of something so ridiculous?
06:16You guys, why don't we make a trade for Jimmy Butler to the sons?
06:20We're getting Durant.
06:21No, you guys get Bradley bill.
06:23Who's got the exact same money that you won't give to Jimmy Butler.
06:26Oh, it makes sense.
06:27Cool.
06:28Shut up.
06:28Shams.
06:30I'm lashing out.
06:31I don't think they would trade.
06:32I don't think they would trade for Bradley bill.
06:34They already said no.
06:37Got to trade for him last year for peanuts.
06:41Nah, going to give it up for like Lowry and like two, two
06:46hoodies from the heat store.
06:50And he said, no, thanks.
06:52Now you're going to give up for Jimmy Butler.
06:54Skeptical.
06:55So basically what you're saying is, is as of right now, there's really
07:00nothing that would pique your interest.
07:05No.
07:05No, I have not heard anything that piques my interest, but I'm a selfish boy.
07:10I know, but like, I, I would tend to agree with you.
07:14Like when you would have to get something pretty good in return.
07:17One, I think we may be back.
07:19Okay.
07:19And I know I say this on the night that they just lost to the pistons, but the
07:21pistons always give us a hard time.
07:23You know, you should give them more credit than they deserve.
07:25Uh, then we should give them more credit.
07:27Don't do that.
07:28No, they're tough.
07:29They're tough.
07:29The only reason why you're giving them credit, cause they beat the heat.
07:32They're tough.
07:33They're tough.
07:34But again, you pick and choose how you're going to use your, no, no, that's not true.
07:39I'm very fair.
07:40And I, you didn't, you didn't give a 20 and 14 credit.
07:44Who the calves?
07:45Yeah.
07:46Kick their ass.
07:51So they lost the game and you're saying they're not what they are.
07:58And the heat lost the game and you're giving them credit for
08:01being they're not scrappy bunch.
08:04They're scrappy, but there's still what?
08:06Two games over 500 who the, uh, the heat for now.
08:11Okay.
08:11But I'm just saying like, it is what it is.
08:13Like until look, until something happens that they go on a run that
08:19puts them five or six games up, you do realize they've been in this spot
08:25for the last two or three years, right?
08:27500.
08:28I got a feeling we're going to understand this, right?
08:32I understand.
08:32I understand.
08:33But we got a, we've got a big showdown coming down on Friday.
08:35Okay.
08:36Against the, against the thunder who may or may not be cup champions.
08:39We'll see.
08:40And after that, then we got the back-to-back in Orlando.
08:43Who's broken right now.
08:44They're kind of starting to come back to earth because I mean, who could
08:46just survive what they've gone through?
08:48And then we don't, we have a path on a run.
08:51We have a path on a run.
08:52If we TCB, you know, I think we may be back, but it all, it all comes down to
08:56Friday, nothing before it is, has like, they've been around 500 for three years.
09:08Yeah.
09:08But you know, it took us a little bit out of the starting box, you
09:10know, but then we went four straight.
09:12Okay.
09:13And so I'm not, you know, this is why I say like frustrating.
09:16We were this close to five straight.
09:18I think we still may be back.
09:19Okay.
09:20Okay.
09:22It's only one point loss in overtime.
09:24So, you know, but if they get blown out next game, they're done.
09:28Right.
09:29But what's the big stakes on Friday?
09:31Big stakes.
09:32Oh, damn.
09:32Near had the same record as the pistons.
09:37I don't like that.
09:38I mean, it's the reality.
09:43I'm not saying they can't do it, but you're saying you're
09:47saying the heater back.
09:50Maybe I haven't said they're back.
09:52I haven't said they're back.
09:52I want to say, okay, good.
09:56Okay.
09:56Good word choice.
09:58And I'm saying they're in the same spot.
10:00They've been for the last three years.
10:01We're one back of the three C dude.
10:02One back in the last column.
10:04Hey, we got games.
10:05Oh, okay.
10:05You're still right around 500, which is where you've been for the last three years.
10:09We got, we got time, baby.
10:10Okay.
10:12All right.
10:15Right around 500.
10:16Dade's houses.
10:17This is the stage where while heat coyote sets up the trap
10:20that will eventually not work.
10:21Yep.
10:22Acme just, you just got Acme delivered, right?
10:30You're setting up on top of the hill.
10:32I really don't think I'm being 700 feet and have it land on the road runner.
10:38I really don't think I'm being unreasonable here.
10:40Then you fall off the cliff and the rock falls on you.
10:44Yeah.
10:47That sounds about right.
10:48That's right.
10:51There's my wind streak running away.
10:54It's just, again, you say they're back, back to what?
11:01Stop saying I said that I stopped saying I said, Oh, they're almost back.
11:04They may be back.
11:05They may be back, maybe back to what?
11:09On the right path.
11:09They've been here in this.
11:12They've been in this little spot.
11:15I'm telling you, there's something about years.
11:17We're right there.
11:18We're right there.
11:19Right, but that's right.
11:21Where if I, if I, okay.
11:23So like, let's just say I, let's say I put into my, my Apple maps and I'm like,
11:28all right, let me take me to my destination back.
11:31All right.
11:32Would your destination be in the play in?
11:34No.
11:35Okay.
11:36Then the right around 500, that's where you get games in hand.
11:42Listen, unlike you, I'm not saying what they can't do.
11:48What they can or can't do from here.
11:52I'm not questioning.
11:53I'm not saying one way or another, but I am saying this as of right now, they
11:59are in the same spot they've been for the last two and a half, three years.
12:04And if that is the case and I can see it, you don't think the heat management
12:11can see it and say, maybe we need to do something and it's just one for straight.
12:16Baby, you're still, you're still not.
12:20I am answering your question.
12:22Kind of yes or no.
12:26Give me till new year's now.
12:29We're okay.
12:31Okay.
12:34Don't look at me like that frog boy.
12:35You're supposed to be on my side.
12:37I don't know.
12:38I just didn't like the wiggle out there now extending the deadline holiday season.
12:43You know, like, let's say, you know, let's take a little, we got a thunder game.
12:46We got some magic games coming up.
12:49Hawks have been speaking good.
12:50You know, like, I think there's some real measuring sticks out there.
12:53All right.
12:54Okay.
12:55I got you.
12:56I got you December 29th in Houston.
12:58I'm sure Jimmy ball is going to be up to antics that night.
13:01Okay.
13:03Red hair.
