15 mins of Heat with Tobin who sneaked away from vacation for one segment!!! There was a moment in time where the "cheeks tightened" but not enough for a turd second half! The guys recap the game and all the newbies who had a great night defensively. Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware showed out and played aggressively. Tobin confirms the tension before the game could be cut with a knife... no hello's and a whole lot of shakes. Is there any remorse on Jimmy Butler's side?

00:00We have none other than Mr. Boots on the ground himself,
00:06the show pony,
00:08Leroy!
00:15You don't have to do it again.
00:17Cause you made a point to do it right after the game
00:20with all your credentials on.
00:22What a time.
00:23Well, I was under a stairwell so nobody could see me.
00:25Hey, so let me ask you this.
00:27Cause I, I told him watching the heat
00:31is the equivalent to getting your second colonoscopy.
00:34You know what's coming,
00:37but you, you brace yourself for it.
00:41When it got to the third and fourth quarter,
00:42were you still waiting for that thing?
00:46Yeah, I think Kaminga hit a three to get it to eight.
00:48And I was like, oh man, the cheeks tightened.
00:52The cheeks tightened.
00:54They kicked a couple of balls around in the paint
00:56and I'm like, oh hell, here we go.
00:59Yep.
01:00I will say this.
01:02I was so impressed with Andrew Wiggins defensively.
01:06I have never seen a guy get from the paint
01:09to the three point line and get a hand on the ball.
01:16And he did it a couple of times.
01:17It was crazy.
01:18Impressive wingspan from him.
01:21I mean, honestly, it was funny.
01:22All the new guys really made such a force defensively
01:25because you had Davion Mitchell
01:27with that big stealing score to start the fourth.
01:29Slow-mo with a little back tap.
01:34Hey, he, I like,
01:39his nickname is So Phinney, right?
01:43He is moving.
01:44I don't care how up and down the court the game is going.
01:48Slow-mo is going at his pace.
01:50Working at his pace.
01:52But it was, it was goosies, dude.
01:54I'm not going to lie.
01:55It was a night that, obviously it was highly anticipated
02:01and kind of made better by the fact
02:03that Steph Curry wasn't there
02:05because it was like, here you are, buddy.
02:06You're all alone.
02:07You're by your lonesome.
02:09You got your new BFF, Draymond Green.
02:12Do something.
02:13By the way, by the way, I said this earlier.
02:19Bam should be arrested for what he did to Draymond.
02:24For the elderly, elderly abuse.
02:26The whole, like the whole game had him crying
02:31and begging for calls.
02:32And he, dude, you know, you want to know something?
02:35He makes Kyle Lowry towards the referees look cordial.
02:40Like he is, he loses.
02:43When Tyler got that foul on him,
02:45he legitimately, I think, was done for the game.
02:48He checked out because all he could focus on
02:50was whining at the referees.
02:53Insufferable, dude.
02:55Whining.
02:57But it was how, so when you saw the Calo play,
03:03did you about lose your mind?
03:06Dude, it was, I was like, did I just see a hallucination?
03:10What is that?
03:12Right.
03:13It was, it's, he's unbelievable.
03:16He is so good.
03:17He got a block, the block on Jimmy,
03:20the alley oops when they find the Laza.
03:22But then like some of the touch that he had,
03:23like they threw a double team
03:25and he's just like feathery touch over you.
03:27It was smooth yesterday from, from Calo Ware.
03:31Looked amazing.
03:32He has a lot of, a lot of slow-mo traits,
03:36but with more athletic ability, right?
03:39Yes.
03:40Because he does move.
03:41Like, he's not like, even when he runs up
03:43and down the court, he's moving,
03:46but it just seems like, you know,
03:52so, so did you see my texts?
03:54How'd you, what did you think of my texts?
03:57Which ones?
03:58You texted a lot.
04:00The one with Jimmy.
04:02I said, watching Jimmy by himself on the Warriors.
04:09He's proud of this state.
04:11Looks like Jimmy when he was with everybody with the heat.
04:16I mean, it was, it was honestly,
04:18I think the thing that was cool about it
04:20from Miami standpoint is they took away the one thing
04:25that he is good at no matter what,
04:27which is getting to the free throw line.
04:28They didn't foul him.
04:30They just kind of, they took him on straight up
04:32and be like, go ahead, do something.
04:33And a lot of the times he was, he was tepid.
04:36Like he was, he was kicking out to shooters,
04:38even at like Tyler Hero, like wouldn't really go
04:41at Tyler Hero other than like the first possession
04:43of the game.
04:44I thought they just did a great job
04:45of defending him straight up.
04:47Bam, obviously came out of the gate.
04:49He's just like, let's go.
04:50And it was, look, dude, you could cut the pregame,
04:54cut the tension with a knife
04:56because Bam out of miles out there
04:58for his normal warmup time and who comes strolling on up,
05:02giving me a wink, but Jimmy Butler,
05:06but no acknowledgement, no hellos,
05:09just two ships passing in the night,
05:11warming up on opposite sides.
05:13And then Jimmy Butler, as Bam is finishing up,
05:16you're like, you're going to say hellos,
05:19nope, just keeps walking with his show pony agent.
05:22And what I would tell you is this,
05:26nobody has a problem with Jimmy getting his money.
05:31And it's the same thing I said about Tyreek,
05:35but you quit on you guys,
05:38that, that, that, that carries some weight,
05:42that how they look at you, how they view you.
05:48It's totally different.
05:49And so if Jimmy had gotten traded and balled out
05:54and did everything he could to help the team
05:55went up until the point he got traded,
05:58it'd be different, right?
05:59It'd be different,
06:00but I don't care what you think of Pat Riley.
06:03I don't care what you think about Mickey Arison.
06:06It's the guys that you go to battle with
06:10that have a problem with.
06:12It also was just like the day,
06:14like he has this whole thing.
06:16Cause I was surprised how much he got booed
06:19but like the comments over the week.
06:21That's what probably got him booed.
06:23Yeah, he was pissing on heat culture again.
06:25And he's just like, you know,
06:27he's bringing up all these comments
06:30and then he has the comment to Taylor Rooks about,
06:33oh, Pat better not have anything to say to me,
06:35which was like such fake tough guy.
06:36Cause you know, Pat's going to be on his pavilion.
06:38You're not going to talk to him.
06:39And I'll tell you one thing,
06:40like he had this awkward frosty start where like he's goes
06:45to the table afterward to before the game
06:48and like blows right past Mickey Arison.
06:51Like he's right there.
06:53And just like, he's not even there.
06:54Like he's invisible to go say hi to Reggie Miller.
06:57I'm just like, what is he that close to Reggie Miller?
07:00I've never seen Reggie Miller.
07:03Nobody says hello to Reggie Miller.
07:04He's very annoying.
07:05I just think it's one of those situations where,
07:09you know, Vlad said he could say whatever he wanted.
07:12He got what he wanted.
07:14But at the same time,
07:18you can tell he's,
07:22he's feeling a little
07:27bit of remorse because he's trying,
07:30he's trying, he's trying to curb his actions in all of,
07:36oh, it's 51, 49%.
07:39Like, like, yo man, we know what you did.
07:42Dude.
07:43And then last night he's like,
07:43I'm like reading the quotes as I'm leaving.
07:45Cause I'm not, I'm not going to that locker room,
07:48but he was, I'm like reading the quotes from Will Manser
07:50afterwards, he goes,
07:51I wouldn't be the player that I was without the Miami Heat.
07:55It's all, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
07:57I thought you said a week ago that heat culture
08:02is just a saying you put around good players.
08:05And now you got your ass kicked and now they wouldn't be,
08:08you wouldn't be the player that you were.
08:10Damage is done, my friend.
08:12I'm sorry.
08:13Never wanted them.
08:14Glad they didn't extend you.
08:17You guilty player.
08:19Basically Patrick Beverly with a coffee shop.
08:22Hit the bricks, dude.
08:23Hey, can I just say this?
08:26Patrick Beverly.
08:27Marcos.
08:28Yeah.
08:30First of all, give our man a minus one.
08:32That's a minus one.
08:33Why?
08:34Minus one.
08:36Because this, I fought you.
08:40Never wanted him.
08:42All year about this.
08:45And you said, I quote, I would have paid him.
08:53And now you never wanted him.
08:55Never wanted him.
08:56So let's do this.
09:01Let's say Pat Riley was onto something
09:07because if that looks like this right now,
09:13what is Jimmy going to look like in two years?
09:16It's going to look tough.
09:18Okay.
09:18So, so for all the people, for all the people,
09:24wasn't me, but for all the people
09:27and I'm looking at one right now.
09:29Who?
09:31Who?
09:32Ain't a owl on this, on this show.
09:34Who?
09:36Except one person who wanted to pay him.
09:39And I said, you know what this is going to look like
09:42in two years?
09:45And now you have an idea.
09:47So you apologize to Pat Riley.
09:51Me?
09:52Yes.
09:53No, I took all the, how am I going to apologize?
09:55You said he was wrong for not paying Jimmy.
09:58If anything, Pat Riley owns me.
09:59I'm the one who took all the bullets for him this year.
10:03Wait, wait, wait.
10:04You just flip-flopped your board.
10:06No, no, no, no, no.
10:07I don't have a problem with his decision.
10:09Everybody was nothing.
10:10It was just you.
10:12If anybody's owed an apology,
10:14Pat Riley owes me an apology.
10:16Why you?
10:17He was the one who went out there and told him to keep,
10:19no, no, no, no.
10:20He went and said, keep your mouth shut
10:21and everybody didn't get mad at him.
10:23They got mad at me.
10:24So if anybody's owed an apology,
10:26I'm owed an apology and an extension.
10:28Here, let's do this as far as how things went.
10:34If you had not asked Pat Riley that question,
10:39would he have made those comments?
10:42And I would furthermore go to say,
10:44you're like the little igniter on the end of a firecracker.
10:47Hard to say.
10:50You took your match and you lit it and blew it up.
10:55Can we talk about this though?
10:57Yeah.
10:59We got a little chance to go on a run here,
11:01you know, and now the Bucks are all of a sudden
11:02out of the playoff scenario.
11:05Like if we just get Kal-El where,
11:07and Nico could be coming back soon,
11:09it's possible that this could have been
11:11the one set they need to right the ship.
11:15He's back, baby.
11:17He's back.
11:17He took a break because of Jim V.P.
11:20But now he's back.
11:22He's back.
11:25Meep, meep.
11:29All right.
11:29If you listen to...
11:31No, so Smeethan, absolutely not.
11:35So we should thank Tobin.
11:37Smeethan says,
11:38so is Leroy saying we should thank Tobin
11:39without those comments and against his extension?
11:43No, I don't think Jimmy gets the extension anyway
11:46because the whole point of the extension was
11:48he doesn't play enough games.
11:50Doesn't seem like we have a grip on this,
11:54like a greased pig, you know?
11:55Like, you know, you're saying one thing,
11:57but mean the other, I don't know.
11:59What I guess we're all just trying to say here is
12:03I never wanted Jimmy Butler.
12:05I'm glad that he's gone.
12:07And we have Andrew Wiggins now,
12:09heat lifer, slow-mo heat lifer,
12:13put him up in the rafters.
12:15And I wanted to say slow-mo on the jersey.
12:18Slow-mo, slow-mo.
12:20Hey, you had to know the heat.
12:25The first sign of petty is giving somebody else your number.
12:28Yeah.
12:29That's the first sign.
12:31Did you see Jimmy have the shakes before the game?
12:35I did.
12:35He's like, he's like, I'm like, what's up with,
12:37what's up with dude?
12:38He's got the shake in his hands.
12:40No, dude.
12:41He was grabbing like, he was like,
12:44a lot of big face coffee.
12:45I'm telling you, he had the willies going into that game.
12:48Let me, let me just say this.
12:53I wasn't surprised.
12:56Jimmy is being the same Jimmy
13:00that he has been for the last year or so, right?
13:05He was, we, how many times did we come in here and say,
13:09why isn't Jimmy being more aggressive?
13:11The team really needs him to be aggressive.
13:13He has to be the catalyst.
13:14He has to be the guy and he's deferring to other people.
13:20So now I take the same situation
13:22and put him on another team.
13:23And guess what?
13:25He does the same thing.
13:26Why?
13:27Here's my conclusion to this.
13:31In order to get to the foul line on a consistent basis,
13:37you have to be able to take that pounding
13:39and be extremely aggressive.
13:42And I just think that's the part of it that's slipping away.
13:47He's tried to become a better three point shooter, right?
13:52But the fact of the matter is,
13:55the basketball and the style of basketball that Jimmy plays,
13:59he doesn't really want to play that anymore.
14:02And the other thing that was interesting yesterday was
14:05he was soft on the defensive side.
14:07Like he's guarding Colell and Haywood Highsmith.
14:11It wasn't until the second half started
14:12that he started D-ing up Tyler.
14:14No interest in defending Bam.
14:16So I would have thought all of that talk
14:18and all that bluster and all that
14:20not wanting to talk to anybody.
14:22I would have, hey, D-up somebody.
14:24Especially when you see your guy getting sautéed.
14:28Ooh.
14:29Ooh.
14:30Dude.
14:31Well, I was like,
14:32we should have done about that.
14:33Look, he was making Philly cheesesteaks over there,
14:36sautéing onions and the peppers.
14:40Like, come on.
14:41Hey, Bam.
14:44And look, kudos to everybody on the floor
14:49with Bam in the heat.
14:51Because they cleared out.
14:53Go, Dre, go cook.
14:56It was good.
14:58Right.
14:58It was good.
14:59So I think everybody, I tell you what.
15:05Respectfully.
15:06Respectfully, dude.
15:07Respectfully.
15:08Respectfully.
15:09Because.
15:10Very respectfully.
15:11Dude, if this guy gets anything less than 30 minutes
15:14from here on out, I'ma be hot.
15:17Well, I need to go back on vacation.
15:19Toodles!
15:21Be free, Tobin.
15:22Thank you, man.
15:23Thank you for stopping by.
