00:00Go ahead.
00:04Do your thing.
00:06Oh my God.
00:08I feel like it was better like on Friday.
00:12It feels like it starts very strong, but it peters out.
00:16When he talks.
00:17When he talks.
00:19So he does the hand.
00:21Like, no.
00:23Too much.
00:24Am I doing too much?
00:26At one point, it sounded good.
00:27Oh my God.
00:31Welcome back, everybody.
00:32Tobin and Leroy here with you.
00:34Hey, we got a country artist.
00:35Lee Bryce is coming to War Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale in September.
00:40And we got your chance to win some tickets.
00:43Just keep on listening to our show.
00:44We'll give away those tickets to Lee Bryce.
00:46This is a live nation show.
00:50Bryce.
00:51I'm going to ask your opinion.
00:53I've heard some of his stuff.
00:55All right.
00:56For the show's sake.
00:57He's great.
00:58You're going to want these tickets.
00:59I know rumor.
01:00There's a rumor going around.
01:03You know, we're going to come back with some Lee Bryce today.
01:07Where's the rumor going around?
01:09It's like Godfather.
01:10I don't understand.
01:14Yeah.
01:15Lee Bryce sounds like a closer.
01:17I'm hard to love.
01:18I made him Bruce Springsteen.
01:23I've heard some of his stuff.
01:24He's good.
01:25He's good.
01:25That Lee Bryce.
01:25He's good.
01:26He's good.
01:26You know who's coming to War Memorial who I want to go see?
01:28Shaboozy.
01:29I want to go see him.
01:29I didn't see him at Tortuga.
01:30I want to see him at War Memorial.
01:31He seems like a nice guy.
01:33Does he?
01:33Every time I've seen him.
01:34I like his music.
01:35Yeah.
01:36He's good.
01:36He seems like a nice guy.
01:38That's what I'm talking about.
01:39So, yeah.
01:40So, Friday, Pat Riley spoke to the media.
01:43Had his press conference.
01:44Hey.
01:44Oof.
01:45Kind of took the blame off of me, by the way.
01:47Can I just say this?
01:49What?
01:52It's a shame.
01:53Can I just say our listeners are the worst?
01:56What do you mean?
01:57They wasn't listening to see what Pat Riley had to say.
02:02They were listening to make sure the saboteur wasn't in there ruining the franchise.
02:07It's saboteuring, dude.
02:08And he basically said that when you didn't say nothing, they called you chicken.
02:15I did say something.
02:17I got in there.
02:18All right.
02:19He told his critics to go to hell, basically.
02:22That was the answer to my question.
02:24But he did start the Brexit conference because he was asked right off the bat about the Jimmy thing.
02:28And he goes, apologize?
02:30I'm not apologizing.
02:31I'm not apologizing for nothing.
02:34Nothing, dude.
02:35Did you hear that and go, exactly?
02:37I don't know.
02:38I thought it.
02:41Because if he would have said, if he would have said, I asked some regrets.
02:44And I was like, damn.
02:46But now that he has no regrets after a year, that means I'm off the hook.
02:50No.
02:51So here's the problem.
02:53Okay.
02:55You're not off the hook if you got the wheels in motion.
02:59What?
03:00It was your question that got Pat in the frame of mind to not give a bleep.
03:06That's not fair.
03:07That he was done.
03:08Oh, no.
03:09That's not fair.
03:10Okay.
03:11Did he just say, Jimmy needs to shut it?
03:15Or did you ask a question that got him to say that?
03:19That got him fired up?
03:22Look.
03:23No, no, no.
03:23Answer the question.
03:25And then you can move forward.
03:26I asked a question.
03:27But my question had nothing to do with the reason why Jimmy Butler left.
03:32You mentioned his name.
03:33You said Jimmy said.
03:35What do you mean?
03:36Jimmy said.
03:37I'm sorry.
03:38He's the star player.
03:39Am I not allowed to ask about the star player?
03:42Okay.
03:42I don't understand.
03:46Yeah.
03:46That's right, Dave South.
03:48It's like applauding BP for cleaning up the oil spill.
03:51No.
03:51It's just.
03:52It would be like.
03:53But not blaming him for the oil spill.
03:55No.
03:55But it would be like.
03:56It would like BP being like.
03:57Hey, guess what?
03:58That oil spill.
03:58That wasn't on us.
03:59You know.
04:00Like.
04:01Something just randomly happened.
04:03That was going to happen.
04:04No.
04:04No.
04:05No.
04:05That's what you're doing.
04:07No.
04:07Nothing was going to happen.
04:09I'm telling you right now.
04:10Were those comments.
04:12Going to happen.
04:13Whether you ask the question or not.
04:16Yes.
04:16Because Pat Riley is going to say what Pat Riley wants to say.
04:18Because he's a grown man.
04:20But you.
04:20You lit the.
04:21Lit the match.
04:22I don't appreciate that.
04:23Okay.
04:23You sat there.
04:25Challenged Jimmy Butler to play more games.
04:27To maybe watch what he says.
04:29And concentrate on winning.
04:31After that.
04:32In December.
04:32You issued a statement saying.
04:33Jimmy Butler.
04:34Would not be traded.
04:35You suspended him three times after that.
04:38And your very players.
04:39Who sat there just a week ago.
04:40Said that greatly impacted their season.
04:43One.
04:44Your thoughts on how you approached it.
04:46Both a year ago.
04:48How you approached it during the season.
04:50And how much of an impact.
04:51Do you think that overall had.
04:53On the direction.
04:54And the type of season.
04:55We're coming off of.
04:56I don't think what I said.
04:58You know.
04:59Last year really was.
05:01Relevant.
05:02I simply said.
05:03Softly no.
05:05And.
05:06And.
05:07And.
05:08I'm a person.
05:10That.
05:12In all the teams that I did coach.
05:14When you lose.
05:15You take your loss.
05:16And you go home.
05:17And you're quiet.
05:19You know.
05:20But there wasn't trolling back in that day.
05:22You know.
05:23So.
05:24There's no doubt that what happened with.
05:26With Jimmy.
05:27Had.
05:28A tremendous.
05:30Impact.
05:31On our team.
05:32There's no doubt about it.
05:33So.
05:33The buck stops with me.
05:35I'll take that hit.
05:36If you want it.
05:37What happened during the regular season.
05:39I don't want to really discuss.
05:42That's it.
05:43So.
05:44Not relevant.
05:46Not relevant.
05:47I'm out.
05:48I'm free.
05:49Wait.
05:49So now.
05:50Hold on.
05:51Awful.
05:52You weed through coach talk.
05:54And GM talk all the time.
05:56And now you're going to take him for his word.
05:58Because it.
05:59Vindicates you.
06:01Not so fast.
06:02No.
06:02Absolutely.
06:03That's what he said.
06:04He's trying to be nice.
06:06I don't know.
06:06Understand.
06:07Like.
06:07Why do I have to take.
06:08Continue to take the blame for something.
06:10That he.
06:10Said.
06:11Had no relevance on it.
06:12Because she's right.
06:14You started.
06:16The back and forth between Jimmy and Pat.
06:19I don't appreciate it.
06:20By running.
06:21When you.
06:21When Jimmy said something.
06:23By running to Pat.
06:25And reporting.
06:27Like a little thing.
06:29First of all.
06:29I don't.
06:30I don't run.
06:30Jimmy said.
06:31Jimmy said.
06:31Okay.
06:32First of all.
06:32I don't run anywhere.
06:34Second of all.
06:35Second of all.
06:36It had to be asked.
06:37And it wasn't really about what Jimmy said.
06:39It was.
06:39Hey.
06:39Your roster.
06:40Isn't there with Boston.
06:41With Jimmy.
06:42Without Jimmy.
06:43You.
06:43You could have asked that.
06:45I did ask that.
06:46It's literally what I asked.
06:48It's literally what I asked.
06:49All I opened it with.
06:51Was saying.
06:51Jimmy.
06:52His opinion is.
06:53If he played.
06:54Boston would be home.
06:55Pat.
06:55If Jimmy played.
06:57Do you believe that?
06:59And he said.
07:01Jimmy.
07:01Needs to shut it.
07:03Because.
07:04My question.
07:04Lost.
07:05Okay.
07:05But my question was relevant.
07:07Yeah.
07:08Relevant to the breakup of the team.
07:11By the way.
07:12You see.
07:12Do you want to get swallowed up by Rudy Gobert.
07:14Those last eight minutes.
07:15Swallowed.
07:16I see him score.
07:17Hey.
07:17Hey.
07:18Three points though.
07:19Jimmy.
07:19You would have paid that guy 60.
07:21You know what they call him.
07:22What do they call him.
07:23They call him.
07:24Three and a half quarters.
07:25Jimbo.
07:26I've heard that.
07:26So my question is this.
07:29Depending on the outcome of this series.
07:34Does it make Pat right?
07:36Yeah.
07:36About why he wouldn't extend him.
07:38I mean.
07:38And so if it makes Pat right.
07:41Mm-hmm.
07:41It makes you 100% wrong.
07:43Because you would have gave Jimmy the 60 million.
07:46I would have given Jimmy the bottle of the 60 million.
07:48Right.
07:48And you would have been wrong.
07:50Maybe.
07:50No.
07:51It's not.
07:52Maybe.
07:53Oh my goodness.
07:54Take the L.
07:55Well.
07:56You don't take the L.
07:57Because I got let off the hook.
07:58And you're still blaming me.
08:00You didn't get let off the hook.
08:01Maybe if you take your own advice.
08:02Maybe I'll follow suit.
08:03You didn't get let off the hook.
08:04You got let off the hook.
08:05Dude.
08:05I got let off the hook.
08:07Pat Riley is not blaming me.
08:09Because Pat Riley.
08:09Look.
08:10And if that is to your case.
08:11Pat Riley is like.
08:11You know.
08:11I wanted him out.
08:13No.
08:14I'm not going to apologize for saying no.
08:17On a contract extension.
08:18When we didn't have to.
08:20And I don't think I should.
08:22And I will always say that to the players.
08:26If I was coaching.
08:28You know.
08:28Keep your mouth shut.
08:30I'll see you next training camp.
08:32And you get it back.
08:33You know.
08:33On the court.
08:34But it's different today with players.
08:35So anyhow.
08:36That's.
08:37That's what I want to talk about.
08:40With Jimmy.
08:41I've been through.
08:44Those kinds of situations before.
08:46Even with this team.
08:48A couple times.
08:50And so it's over.
08:52He's done.
08:53I wish him well.
08:54Good luck to him.
08:55And I hope deep down in his heart somewhere.
08:58He wishes us well too.
09:00Nope.
09:02Nope.
09:03Pat.
09:04Pat.
09:05Deep down.
09:06You got to get all the way down to the guts.
09:09To see.
09:10You're not just.
09:12Piercing the skin a little bit.
09:13Yep.
09:14Yeah.
09:34Yeah.
09:35Yeah.
