664: Pelle called GAME! // Heat Bucks Postgame Show

0:00The Bleacher Report app is your destination for sports. Right now, the NBA is heating up, March Manus is here, and MLB is almost back. Every day there's a new headline, a new highlight, a new moment you've got to see for yourself. That's why I stay locked in with the Bleacher Report app. For me, it's about staying connected to my sports. I can follow the teams I care about, get real-time scores, breaking news, and highlights all in one place. Say hello to Bleacher Report app today, so you never miss a moment. Hi, this is Alex Cantrowitz. I'm the host of Big Technology podcast, a long-time reporter and an on-air contributor to CMBC. And if you're like me, you're trying to figure out how artificial intelligence is changing the business world and our lives. So each week on Big Technology, I bring on key actors from companies building AI tech and outsiders trying to influence it, asking where this is all going. They come from places like Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, and plenty more. So if you want to be smart with your wallet, your career choices, and meetings with your colleagues and at dinner parties, listen to Big Technology podcast wherever you get your

1:03podcasts. Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Miami Heapy post-game show. I'm your host, Carla Novis, and with me today, joining me later, we'll be producer Omar. Omar is going to come on later, Omar is just getting the show ready. Just me today, you know, just we all, we went overdrive for the BAM game, for the 83 pointer, so a little chill today. A little, you know, not quite the encore that people would have liked, at least BAM didn't put up a total sticker. I'll say that BAM fit is with 21, 8, and 2 on 6 for 20 shooting yikes over 5 from 3 and

2:10got to the line 13 times. So hey, that, that, that held true. But most importantly, Miami fit is with the win 10 of the last 12, day one, that's incredible for them. They move even closer to away from the playing. So as it stands right now, Miami's in 2 and their last 10, they are a full game over the Raptors in 7th, and they are essentially tied with the magic there, 0.2% of its points behind Orlando, which I will all get decided this Saturday as a heat take on the magic. Couple housekeeping notes, shout out to just Jared for the prime and chat, 29 months, appreciate it, followed by Bronx Joker saying first, proud of the guys. And of course, this would be a Miami Heapy post game show episode in 2026, without the homie from down under CM 201, thank you for the super chat, saying Peltzer's a max, and will does to the win, past shooting is real, BAM showed up late, but when it mattered,

3:14where controlled the glass, Davey on scoring was needed, Drew was impactful in his minutes, demonstrate wins, magic up next, 7th straight wins, thank you so much CM, 7th straight wins is huge. And I think that this team, you know, this was a game that it looked at, some say something I thought, I thought today was, I thought it was done so, I thought feel good ends here, Milwaukee went on of what, like a 20 to 2 run at one point, that was the worst of it, the 22 run looked horrible, and I'm like, it's over, we're done, we are fucking done. Heard quarter hit like never before, BAM couldn't buy a basket, I think he had eight points going into the fourth quarter, something, something in saying like that, I'm like, it's all over, Twitter's making fun of him, it's all over, I'm like, we're done here, and they hold on, Miami Heat Hold on, Pell Larson hit some huge shots down the stretch, had had a really big three down the stretch, which I thought was really, really huge Miami,

4:14it's not scored by one in the fourth quarter, just enough, somehow the heat were tied in the third quarter, 26 points to 26 points, really interesting. But the heat hold on, the heat hold on to win this game when the bucks are doing a couple things, we got to start with Pell, I wanted to get to the heat defense, but we got to start with Pell L, saucy takes says 28, 6 and 6 for my Pell L, you got to fight Tiffany Meeks for that one, that's her boy right now. Some of the decision making off the dribble, I thought was really, really important and kind of for his development, I thought it was the most complete game he's played on offense, I mean, he was just doing so much, and again, like we said this the other day, his shooting, so he shot two or three from three today, I feel like his shooting is better than it looks, right? And he puts up a shot, I think it's good. And the stuff he was doing, the aggression off the dribble today, I thought was huge

5:14and I thought he showed you some of that north, south kind of a zip that he could have, like that's a little bit of juice offensively that he could have, that I got to be honest with you, I'm not, I'm not mad at him doing that, I'm not mad at him doing that, I would like to see a little bit more like, hey, like how much do they have here, how much do they have here with some of that pick and roll, some of that isolation dribble stuff, because I was pretty impressed today, and I think obviously like, this is his best scoring mark, just for your high for him at 28 points, so you're not who he is every night, but I think he showed some of the talent that he could have there, which I think is kind of like really critical. And then him and Yaka Jonas, I think together was really, really good and impactful. It was Yaka Jonas's best game as a rookie, 18 points, seven rebounds, two assists, six for 12 shooting, five of 11 from three, the shooting with the three point shooting with him is huge, and just the decision making, and I like when, when he goes downhill, and

6:16he kicks the ball out, whether it's, you know, a lot of times he would kick it out to pellet and pellet out of the shoot the ball, or he would drive hard, and I kind of like when they have like, guys break down defenses off the dribble and then kick it out and a guy doesn't shoot the ball, he drives. Rungshoker said, not his, not his high scoring, isn't that a career high? Did he, did he have more than 28? Oh, you're saying Yaka Jonas, excuse me. Oh, but I think it's Yaka Jonas's best game though. I think it was like the completeness that, and I thought the defense, he had a really, really huge strip and steel or strip, and then Miami got the, the steel, you know, on that possession, and I thought he was really huge. I didn't love the way they defended, Janice tonight, I think that, you know, we could get into that later. I thought he was a little too comfortable, and they had a couple things that they could work on, and they, they tried some new stuff today, and we'll talk about that in the deepest, but I want to stick with, with Pele and, and, and, and Yaka Jonas, but it's

7:17good that their young players are playing, and I like that, you know, Yaka Jonas had some, some silly moments or, or some mistakes that they let him play through, especially late in that game. I like that he was on the floor late. I think that matters. And I think again, we've talked about a lot this season. To me, the season is still, and we'll always be about developing your talent, which I think this is a big game. Now, not the best game for Kalo, where he started today, next to Bam, not his best game. How many minutes did he finish with, um, he finished with 27 minutes, so it played quite a bit. Wasn't his best night, six, six points, 13 rebounds, uh, two and nine from the field, two and nine is really, really bad. Um, Chad Bronx said, just, just shoulder doesn't look very good. I agree. I mean, he kind of looked off, but it wasn't his best night. And I think defensively, he kind of struggled some and those units, I think the units were, were kind of more the problem than him, but, uh, you know, their young players are important. And I think that their season going forward and into next season, like, we need to focus on what do they have right now?

8:17You know, like they gave you a witch an extension, which I think we could all agree. The jury's not out. It seems he's not a really bad year. Can he bounce back next year? You know, can you try to salvage that contract? You know, you're going to have to think about paying Paul Arson. You're going to have to think about, you know, some of these other guys that you're going to have to give extension to just call aware of these guys. So, uh, knowing what you have and knowing if you have a foundation for something is important, going forward, no hero at the night, no wagons, and again, another shorthanded win. And their schedule gets really tough next couple of weeks. They're going to play the Lakers. They're going to play the Rockets. They're going to play Cleveland twice. They're going to play the Celtics. So they're going to have some, they're going to have some challenges and they're going to have a few gimmies. They're going to have the Pacers. They're going to have the Wizards, but their schedule gets really hard. So getting, you know, let's not forget Milwaukee is 10 is 11th right now. They're not a very good team. They're not even in the plan. I know that Yannis is back and, and, and, and all that, but this is a game that they should have yet. It's a home game against a team like that. You're coming off that emotional night, that incredible, I don't even, I don't even know

9:19what to call it, but it was such an important moment for them that to have that high. And I was, I was worried that they'd come out a little bit flat. They did it. Right. They came out guns blazing. They played really well. I don't, did Milwaukee ever lead? I think Miami might have led wire to wire. It felt like, um, so the fact that they were able to kind of put that emotion aside and come out. Funny thing when they came out. I was dying at the fact that they weren't giving Bam the ball. So like Milwaukee was doubling Bam early and I go, oh, this is fucking funny. They're just like off the rip doubling. They worked. They're not mad at rhythm. But Miami heat players were like, you had your phone, buddy. Now it's harder and they were putting up those shots. Everybody was getting theirs. Bam was sitting in the corner. I was like, what are you doing, bro? Go up call for the ball. Big A C says Drew needs his touches, dude. Shout out to what Big said for the prime 38 months, band, what's it that said? I was convinced Bam would score 84 tonight.

10:19I was hoping we get 40. I was hoping we get 40. I was hoping we get something. Chats was in line. I'm telling you, bro, that shit was so funny. Everybody, Fontequio was putting him up. Everybody was putting him up. Fontequio, by the way, he, you know, you want to talk about disappointing oncores. Only eight points for Fontequio tonight. Well, you know, what's the oncore? Chats was 40 would have been wild, bro. Forty would have been wild. I really wanted that. I think because I wanted to shut the haters up. I wanted to give the haters one last you on the way out. And we didn't get that opportunity. But we got the win. I talked to Rohan today, too. Rohan in a cardium, NBC, formerly of Sports Illustrated. He was like, bro, I don't want, I don't care about the 40. I take Bam 15 in a win as I get the most Eric's poster thing you've ever said, sir. Eric's poster thing you've ever said. Chats says Bam look way too tired. He should have had the night off. Listen, professionals are our professional. So they have a day off until Saturday.

11:19Saturday's a huge game against Orlando, huge, huge, huge, huge game for their, for their CD. Now, we'll get back to the game. I think found me and I get to choose Cleveland or New York. I think I'm going to New York. I think I'd rather play the next chat. Please let me know what you feel, but I think I'd rather play the next, right? So you win this game. You have to win this game. You beat the teams in front of you because you're about to have a really rough, rough stretch of games. But I'm not going to be heartbroken if they lose to the magic. Now, I'd like them to beat the magic because I think that's a good kind of litmus test because that's a horrible matchup. Let's chat like give you the next coward. But see, people also are saying, I want my Cleveland revenge. I think it's split. I actually think this will be split because I do think people want the Cleveland run back. Also, I view a wounded Nick team. I view a team. I view a team that is like drowning a little bit.

12:21They're drowning a little bit. And I would love to smash them, to squash them. You all know how much I hate the next. You know how much I hate the next. I fucking despise them. I despise them so much. But understood, there's there's revenge to be had with Cleveland. I actually think more of chat wants the calves. I want revenge on the calves. I think we, what a cruiseman says, I think we've proven we can compete with anyone. Cleveland, rock sugar says calves disrespected us. I don't care which one we beat, fuck, Cleveland and New York. We have a score to settle. Other people are like, we can beat the Nixon round two. Zach Martin's drum says, I think I'd rather have the calves. They don't look very good. I think both are valid. And we went from rock bottom, bro.

13:23And now we're talking about winning a first round series. What the fuck, dude? What the fuck? Omar is so happy. Omar is so happy, dude. Yes. I told all of you, I told everyone we are going to win a first round series. It is going to be fun times. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Thanks for having me up. Chats says 87 83 points and seven wins will do that to you. We're crazy, bro. Now we're talking about, we're talking, listen, they're going to, let's go through, let's play a game that I like to call going through the schedule, right, looking ahead. So they have the magic on Saturday. They have another game against the Hornets on Tuesday. Then they have the Lakers on Thursday, Saturday, the 21st, it's Houston. Then the Charlotte game is on the road, the rest, and the Houston games on the road.

14:26Then they have the Spurs at home, Cleveland on the road twice, Indiana on the road, Philly at home, Boston at home, Washington at home, Toronto. That's Toronto games also. They have two games against Toronto, both in Toronto, those are going to be big and then the Wizards and the Hawks go down. Really, once they get past that Boston game, they have Washington, two games against the Raptors, Washington again, and Atlanta. That is Cupcake. That is Cupcake. Chats says we can't take another L to the magic. Again, I think if you want, you can get, walk yourself into six and it not be that bad. It won't be that bad. Ron Shokers said this next week is a toughest. Yeah, like that, I mean Orlando, Charlotte, LA, Houston, Spurs, Cavs, Cavs. That's fucking brutal. But I'm telling you this, if you can get, this is how many games?

15:27One, two, three, four, five, six, seven games. If you can get out of that, four and three, I think you take that, right Omar? Yeah, especially because we took care of business with those two against Brooklyn. I know there have been seasons past where we'd be kicking ourselves if we gave up some of those and I think that's why you clean up house during that time. I think against Charlotte on the road, especially if they're still playing as hot as they've been. I don't know how realistic of that one might be, but I definitely, I'm not worried about getting a win in Orlando. We can pick up one of those Cleveland ones as well. And for whatever reason, I also think the Lakers one at home is always, most years is typically a dub. Is that one better right now? The Lakers, the Lakers have found a little gear. Lebron's been out and they've looked really solid without Lebron. They have one, they've won six of their last 10, they're six of four in their last 10,

16:32they have to fourth in the West. So really they're going to play two, three and four in the West next week. Absolutely brutal. They're not the type, the Lakers typically aren't the type of roster or team that has given us like when we're previewing games that give us, you know, fear, those are typically like the Minnesota's or teams with length before we started putting Collelle in the game. That's a team that I could see being a problem because they don't have a guy to guard Luca. And, you know, they're already without Wiggins. So if Andrew's not going to be ready, it's going to make it really hard like they lost. I was assuming they'd be back my fault. And we don't know. I'm going to grab him who's ain't going to guard who, true that man, true that. So not to get ahead of ourselves, but obviously like listen, they beat the bucks today real quick. Last thing on the buck game and then we'll kind of project to the future because it was it was a, it was a nice win.

17:32Not a fan of their switch and help situation that they had going on. They were like switching and then they would come like they would switch Mitchell onto fucking Yanis and then they'd like bam would come to help. And I was like, why did you do that? Why don't you just like hedge and let bam defend or why don't you just like drop? I don't know. It just, it was very, he was in the HOV lane just all the way down in the paint every single time. We're out there before this sort of randomly get open and have all the shots he wanted. They stopped it and they're just like, okay, okay, bam, just guard Yanis straight up and like we'll fight over the screens and stuff like that. Jessus, why are you not playing Collelle? I have a minute on that if you can give it to me whenever you're ready. You go, you go first. I, Collelle is doing this thing where like he's missing these bone handed like assignments and his head's not on a swivel and he's just consistently late on either rotation or a switch or a help and it is driving me crazy. Not because like I'm upset at it, but because I am paranoid that every time it

18:36happens, Joe is going to take him out. We're not going to see him for another few weeks. And I'm like, dude, no, like it's not like Collelle, no, go help that on defense. It's like, Collelle, no, we're never going to see you again if you keep doing this. And like, for whatever reason is still letting him play through it, thank God. But like there was especially in the first half today, Collelle was just getting cooked on malt. It wasn't even like Yanis was just like running down and beating him using his speed and athleticism. It was just like, Collelle was just like not computing the defense in a reasonable manner. And I'm just getting so paranoid that he's good, that's suppose going to lose it with him soon and that rope is going to is going to shorten out. So while to answer the question is to why Collelle wear is not playing as much as because Spowe is on his last straw with him today as it pertains to this particular game due to his defensive mishaps and how he just kind of drifts again, this is another game where he kind of drifted in my opinion.

19:38I agree and disagree on some. I think on the pin being late part, I think he has, I think his issue is that he can't move laterally well enough and they play him really low in picking roll. I think the issue when he's low in picking roll is, I said somebody earlier, hold on, I want to find the comment. Not enough swishbushing at the nail. Ironically, there's, but literally that's correct. Like ironically, like it's because like they don't have size and help at the nail, especially because he has to drop deep. So if like if you're dropped in pick and roll, right, and if you're running a high screen and we're right, if you're running, you know, whoever action. And where is is is dropped, you know, below the free throw line, which is a nail. When that guy, when that ball handler dribbles, where has to like move and then absorb the drive. And that guy's coming with a head of steam. If he beats his man off the pick and where the nail help comes in is you need the guy,

20:41you need the help at that nail at the free throw line, right, which is a nail. You need help there to kind of deter slow down that drive, that momentum to give the center the drop man time to recover, time to get better position to hold, to force them into a more difficult angle to the basket, where then your short corner help can come. That's why they that's what spoke talks about defending on a string, right. So if that first guy at the nail is there and strong and felt so typically like that be Jimmy, right, Jimmy's really good and Jimmy has great hands. So you're scared of turning the ball over. You're scared of his string and he's going to come in and he's going to like affect that that guy on the drive. And then you're going to have your guy on the back line be able to okay, well, now that guy's not coming as fast, I can, I can see which direction he's going, I can cut off the angle. And if that guy makes another move, I know that my help on the short, right. So that's defending on a string, Jack goes, shit, what are you guys talking about?

21:44Basketball, baby. Yeah. Can you explain the nail one more time? The big thanks to our sponsor better help for partnering with us for this important conversation about mental health. This Steve Smith here, former NFL Y receiver and host of the 89 show on YouTube. So having a counselor and working with better health, that gives you an opportunity to really start to unpack, but people don't understand when you unpack things. You also open up a box that you're not always sure what sense I am. So I think that's why seeing a professional is extremely important. If you need someone to open up to visit better help, that's better, H-E-L-P dot com slash 89 to get started. The Bleacher Report app is your destination for sports. Right now, the NBA is heating up, March Manus is here, and MLB is almost back. Every day there's a new headline, a new highlight, a new moment you've got to see for yourself. That's why I stay locked in with the Bleacher Report app. For me, it's about staying connected to my sports. I could follow the teams I care about, get real-time scores, breaking news, and highlights

22:48all in one place. Hey, I'm Josh Speagle, host of the podcast, Lunatic in the newsroom. If you enjoy journalism that drifts into mild panic, wild overthinking, and a guaranteed nervous breakdown, Lunatic in the newsroom is for you. It's news like you've never heard before. The only newsroom with a panic button, you'll laugh, you'll cry, and gasp and horror as the show spirals completely out of control. It's not just news, it's emotionally unstable. Lunatic in the newsroom, listen today. If you get that Mary and Webster's nail definition, please. Shout out to Lenny Lester, sub for 54, wow, I gotta be honest with you, YouTube, the kickin' Twitch's ass lately in terms of like subs and donations and stuff like that. Twitch is kicking ass today, Lenny Lester, the 47 month, a 54 month, excuse me, says

23:49Bam seemed exhausted to me both mentally and physically after the 83 points that almost have felt like trying to throw up a center block. I agree. Because he was also like defending Yannis, once foe made the decision, like you said earlier, it's just like, have Bam go straight up on Yannis, that's a whole marathon in and of itself, like he was gasped on top of gas, gas on gas. But it looks like they got the win, it's fine, he didn't have a great offensive game, but he got the 20, he helped them kind of get over the finish line in the fourth quarter, got to the line a bunch. Exponential, you got the superstar calls in the fourth quarter. He did, and he defended Yannis at the end of the game, like, I think that was important too, it's like, suppose like, okay, we're done with that. They tried some zone against Yannis, and there was one possession where Yannis just literally skipped through the zone, and I go, that's not what Yannis is supposed to do. That's pretty funny, and I was like, oh, that's not good. But they kind of got through it, and again, I thought some of their guard, like some of their perimeter help was good, and I thought the hands, I thought Yannis had really great hands today, and I love a player with good hands.

24:52I've really a fan of guards that can kind of be very disruptive on like dribble, not just dribbles, but like gather steps, because that's when people bring the ball low, right? Like, Dwayne was really good at that. Lowry was really good at that. Like, Gabe Vincent was really good at that. Like, I like when guys, Chris Paul was great at that. Like, you have to, the ball has to come down at some point, and they're fucking waiting, and they're physical, and they have really great, strong, fast hands, and I like that, and I see a little bit of, yeah, I see a little bit of that in Yachtonus, and I would like to see that develop more. I have a quick question about the books for you. You can ask it. What's the vibe on this post game graphic? The books lost, and they put a graphic up, and it said, and the books tweeted, bam did not score 83 points. Now, I think that's pretty funny. I'm a bus fan. My head's on Yavin, bro. My head's on Coruscant. I am fucking pissed.

25:53Yeah, I actually think that's cool for Milwaukee, because like, they're not actually like, that, you know, that's objectively hilarious, and it's, I love when any Twitter account is a little, is able to poke a little fun and laugh at itself, so that is a level of maturity I did not expect from the Milwaukee books Twitter. I apologize, Milwaukee books Twitter had been, I was not familiar with your game. Chad, that's great. Chad says, losership, but funny, and I'm like, I totally agree. 100% losership, but funny. 100% losers, you know, but let me ask you something. How do you feel about this right here? Is that like an LGBT flag that I don't know about? No, dummy. It's Lithuania. Okay, hold on, I got thrown off. I got thrown off because it got cut off, and I thought there was like a right, I thought there was a white stripe at the bottom. My god, I was like, is that a sexuality that I don't know about? I like the thing. I'm pretty woke.

26:55Oh my god, too woke. Can you find Lithuania? No, no, no. Could you find Lithuania on a map? I speak Russian. Yes. Can find Lithuania on a map. I love it. Yes. We should do that without. We should put like Sweden and Lithuania and like a bunch of and like quiz like different people on heapy if they can find these places on a map. Guys, this is the future of the heat right now. The way that they can we just real quick before we move on. Can we talk about these two? Like to get today, like I know the cast threw up a couple of things that we put on what? We opened the show with that. But like five seconds more, five seconds more. Five seconds more. I just think it's so cool that like Pele is really like coming really coming into his phone and the fact and the conez that he has to hit that game. Fucking winning, calling three, he called game on that shit. That was fucking awesome. And that was not on any of our cards this year. You know, when we were talking about playing the young guys and we were talking about like,

27:57you know, getting cast more running. We're going to give cast as flowers too. But like the fact that we have Pele in a game against the Bucks where we don't have like half of our team and BAM is exhausted and Yanis is going off. It's not like Yanis is having his first game back in a while. Like Yanis is, you know, doing Yanis things and we need somebody to just shut the door. And it's fucking Pele Larson, not like randomly just coming in and hitting the three, but like on top of having like a 27 point game and just getting rebounds and making plays and getting, you know, drawing offensive charges. Like, that's my, like, like, that's what I'm fucking talking about. I love that he took a charge today, bro. I was like, young man, you got hit in the face. Young one, you're going to fit in. You're going to fit in good here. I saw somebody say something that was very funny. Crowdy situation said, yo, thank God Yanis took that three. Bro, I yelled, what the fuck? So if you did not see that, there was a part of the game when Milwaukee was down three.

29:02It was the most scared I was that the heat we're going to lose that game. And he comes down. It was early clock. Like I, it must have been like 1918 on the shot clock. Like it was, I thought he was BAM. And yeah, he thought he was BAM. And he took a pull up three. Is that not, I pray that that's on D.Y. I'm hoping that's on D.Y. If it's not, it's okay. But I was, I didn't do by putting that on on D.Y. Because I thought that was going in for even though, like, conventional wisdom is like, no, that has no chance of going in. I literally for a second was like, I was scared. I thought that was going in. I yelled, what the fuck? That meant, that meant a lot of things. That meant like, if that goes, like, it was such a bad shot that I said, I thought it might go in because it was such a bad shot. And I was like, this is how this ends. And I was ready. Again, my head would have been on Mars, bro. It would have been on the average. There was Byron Gardner, put like a play earlier in the game where he just dribbled the ball up the court.

30:03Like 20 seconds left in the shot clock and just did a pull up three. And when I'm telling you that I yelled, no, and then he switched it. I was like, spoke, bro, if I don't know if anyone remembers that play, but I almost had a heart attack thing. God, he made it because I would have, I would have waved and stretched and right then and there because it was such a bone edit play. But like, low key kind of respected. Dude, the part that I respected at the end of that game, the, the really the dagger three by Pell Larson was Davey Mitchell runs a pick and roll with Bam on the right side. And he, he gets a switch, Yana switches on to Mitchell. And the clock is like, you know, it's like mid clock situation. And I'm thinking, oh, no, this is horrible because like at first, I don't want Davey on Mitchell running a pick and roll for the game like with the game on the line. Like even though Bam didn't have a good shooting night, I'm like, just find a way to get Bam the fucking ball. Like whatever, you know, what are we, what are we doing here?

31:03And if you're good and if Mitchell's gonna do some offense, I'm okay with him, I'm showing. He shakes Yana's, gets a step, draws the help and swings the pass to Pell Larson at the, the right wing. And Larson fucking cans it and they win the game. Biggest offensive possession for the heat. The most, no, no, oh my god, yes, possession. But I thought the balls on Davey on and the confidence to be like, oh, I got Yana's, hell yeah, brother. I was like, because you know, when you get that switch, you could do a couple of things or more. You could be like, okay, I have Yana saw me. I'm gonna flip the play and now Yana says not in the action, right? Like I'm gonna have you give it a bam and then bam now is a smaller guy on him and Yana says behind the play. So if you move quick enough, he's not gonna affect it. There's a lot of things you could do. And Davey on's like, no, I got this. So I got, I got Yana's kudos to you, man. The balls on that. Yeah, try to put them on skates. I was like, the balls on you dude, insane.

32:04Insane, I was really proud of him. Do you remember when we were talking about Davey on like, how, I don't know, we were talking about it or I heard you guys talking about it. Like, no one, after last year, after we acquired him in a street point shooting was like, you know, like above like 42% or something crazy like that. And everyone was like, you know, the key for him this season, if he could just have like a 34%, you know, three point shooting because no one expected his three point shooting to like stay where it was or even be close to it. And like this year, he's kind of like, let me, I should probably look up his percentage, but like, he's been shooting the three ball pretty well consistently. And he doesn't take bad threes either. Davey on Mitchell's kind of like exceeded my expectations for what he could do, even as his defense has slipped at times momentarily. His shooting hasn't, which has been pretty nice. I think that's always like an important thing. So I saw somebody say something in chat just now about Wiggins. And they said, I don't think it's 41%.

33:05Sorry. Mommy's milk. Mommy's milk, excuse me. Mommy's milk says, I don't think it's a coincidence that we start playing better when there's less Wiggins on the court, especially alongside where and bam. And it kind of thought about the shooting. I'm kind of an A. So the heat are plus almost seven and a half points for a hundred possessions with Wiggins off the court. They're plus one with him on the court. Miami is shooting 36% for three with him on 34% with him off about 35. Branding out. The offense is almost two points better with Wiggins and the defense is the defense is four, almost five points better with Wiggins on the court. Numbers do lie. Numbers do lie. Sometimes they lie when your eye tests can see into the future. So if I go, if I go Wiggins and bam, the heat are plus in 730 minutes, the heat are plus 16 per 100 possessions when bam's on the court and Wiggins is not.

34:11When Wiggins is on the floor and bam is not, they're minus two. When they're both on the floor, they're plus three. And when they're both off the floor, they're minus two. 121 offensive rating with bam on Wiggins off. That is pretty damning. Do you have access to the defensive rating with with on and off's with both of them? Like what do you want? Like defensive rating when when Wiggins is on and Wiggins is off for both when bam is on and when bam's off basically the same numbers you gave them. Bam on Wiggins off their defense is 105. Incredible. Wiggins on bam off 114 defensive rating. Both of them on 114 average. Both of them off 115. So really the defense fucking flies when Wiggins is off. Which is really interesting. And that actually is the one that that's not the project. And that's 730 minutes.

35:11It's not like a small sample. Now pointed to shooting about 32% from three. Some of that could be shooting luck. 32% is not like, oh my god, that's abysmal. Some of that is shooting luck. But that's pretty damning. I don't I don't see how less Wiggins makes us a better team because if I know if there's a lot of Wiggins, Fontequeo, I'm afraid that Fontequeo gets more. I don't think that Fontequeo plays more. He plays with the other two bigs a lot. Which helps gel that unit a little more. Which I think is important. So if we look at Bam Fontequeo and where, right, together, the three of them have played about 64 minutes. They're plus 60 per 100 possessions. They have a 143 offensive rating. So when Wiggins doesn't play, you play some Fontequeo. And he gives some size and some girth. So it's about that some of their parts.

36:14Not that just the individual pieces. I never even like Wiggins. I don't know. That's what I've been telling you the whole other thing. I've been telling you from the jump. You play more Pell Larson. But exactly. Oh my, the other thing is you play more Pell Larson, right? And Pell Larson is good. And you could play more, you could play Pell Larson in more Linus. When Wiggins isn't here, Pell Larson's pretty consistently starting your new chats as a girth in the interior. Uh, my eye tells you right to shout to Mummy's Milk. Mummy's Milk is correct. Mummy's Milk. Mummy's Milk. Why is Mummy's Milk? Why are you not subbed? You know how that is on Prime? You want to throw us a Prime your way? Somebody want to throw him a gift? A Prime and Mummy's Milk. Mummy's Milk has been here for a long time. Mummy's Milk is... No, it is. Mummy's Milk just put that down payment on that Maserati. So it hasn't come through. So he's waiting for that Maserati down payment to clear. Mummy's gonna subscribe. On Spotify. But I know you... I know you're out here. I know you're out here. Classic G-Shade to non-subscribers. Listen, we gotta eat, bro. We gotta fucking eat.

37:15We gotta pay the bills, bro. We gotta... You think... You think this all pays for itself? I need an upset on Spotify. You think all this pays for itself? You think... You know, all this costs money. This fucking streaming shit. I... We pay for a software, bro. All this stuff we pay for. I gotta fucking... I gotta grind, bro. I just did our taxes. We lose money every year. Somehow, we lose money every year. We're trying our best. That's why I'm aggressive. My tax guy's like, what are you doing? What kind of business are you running? And I go, a vibe is based one. The straight-up for news just got shut down. We already know how that's gonna affect this particular podcast. Mummy's not gonna sell Australian. What's with all the Australians? We have college... All this through Australia. We have... We have CM-201 who's Australian. We have Mummy's book. How many of you? Any more Australians I should know about? Dude, the ball is big in Australia. That's one of those random ass countries. I know, like balls hard. Yep. Just Jared said Australian basketball league?

38:16Oh, dude. Just Jared, three subscribers. I think I got you. Did I not? Just Jared? Shout out to just Jared for... I didn't even see you, dog. It didn't come up on my feed. Shout out to just Jared for the sub. 29 months. Twitch is killing it today. Let's go. That must be impacted by the supply chain. I was gonna do a whole bit. I was gonna do a whole bit because, you know, you know how it's World War G over here. I was gonna do a bit with the Strait of Hormuz and like do some sort of funny graphic on like heat-related. How to get the oil across, you know, but I couldn't think of anything. You got it enough. Take it across the nail. But first of all, I have a fun... Oh, I don't want to see if you know. The Iranian help with the nail, bro. Before we get to that big 8C, just said, who was the last Australian heat player? Do you know? Because I believe I know. Paddy Mills? Damn it, you are right. Do you know who the last one was before that?

39:19Hold on, let me think. Can I have it? No, I'll just tell you, he also may, I have to double check whether he's New Zealand, but they're both the same. We're just gonna say Sean Marks. Do you remember that guy? Blondude, 7-footer? Sean Marks. This is from like the O2O3 season. From like the... Yeah, yeah. How old are you? I'm 34. But I'm like, I have a good memory. I've been watching... Jack goes in the same pool of... That's why I was so mad when someone said Vladimir Stepanov while they were looking upstairs, and I'm like, my Georgian father, because I'm Georgian. I know Vladimir Stepanov. But hold on, was that guy Australian or New Zealand? Because I think Chad's not happy with you. He was, he is from New Zealand. That I remember. Chad's mad, you can't do that. Don't tell a New Zealand, they hate...

40:20What is it that I said that I can... That I said that they're from the same area? Yeah, yeah, you can't. Geographically, that's like saying someone from like Georgia and Florida in the same area. It's still the same area. Big A.C. says, oh my god. Omar is stoking ethnic resentments on streamcast. Yeah, Chad goes, they're all the same. World War G, bro. I'm telling you, man. Jesus, why don't we just bring it back to a long GG real quick? We get political in here. You know, it's not political. Price fixed. It's nice of the man. If you put the BAM more today, I'm sorry, because we told you to and he didn't make it. I believe the more was at 24 today. So I apologize for the bad advice, but we'll get back on. I would hit the BAM more again. I hit the BAM more next week. You know, we got that. It's a skill base game. It's a skill base game and it's important.

41:23And if you use promo code heapy, you get $50,000 in Lino's when you get your first $5 lineup. Can you imagine what it must have felt like to hit the more on BAM? Yes, last game. And it just kept hitting and hitting. Chad said nice, nice segue G. Listen, I'm sure Price fixed wants this, uh, totally fun. Ethical geography. Ethical geography over here. I'm sorry, guys. I'm sorry, everyone who's pissed at me. I'm sorry. It's just that when I said it, I got confused and I was not sure as to which where he was from. I won't, you know, my bad, my bad. Can Australians play price picks? Let's find out. Uh, no Australians cannot legally play price pick. Now let's Ken New Zealand. Ken New Zealand's for sure. Ken New Zealand play price. It's a skill-based game. All Australians are the ones that have. Well, country is price picks available in only the United States. So New Zealand can't, but if you're in the United States, DC and parts of Canada, you can download price picks today,

42:24and you go to heat be to give $50,000 in line of after you get your first $5 lineup. That's go to heat beat and get $50,000 in line of after you play your first $5 lineup. Price picks. It's good to be right. It's good to be cancelled. Shout out to price. Oh, I love price pick. You shout out to price pick. No, I'm getting cancelled. Me. It's good to be cancelled. Okay, guys, you're sponsored. Can't be used by half our audience. It's okay, guys. You know, we're trying. If you can use it from a good heat beat, that helps those people. If you want to help us, that's one way to get it done. This is going last one about the Sean Marks. That reference with so old hero is insured. It actually happened. When was Tyler hero born? Tyler was not worried about the earth being round. Tyler hero birth date. Was he? So he was born in 2000. So he was born after Y2K, but before 9.11. A very small window. Are we doing the Tyler hero birth or movement?

43:25No, I'm just saying he's young. 2000. Yeah, chances 2000. January 20th of 2000. He's 26 years old. I don't know where Omar went. I was about to look a day over 24. I was like, we're about to go to a D-Wat. And now it's like, where did my producer go? So we're going to our favorite segment of the week. No, my goodness. Valentine. No. Have you ever said this? Looking for staff? Now, Dremons got it. What did you do that for? Are you working that down? Got. Oh, I'm in a win. It's Tony Martin. You got a hit. That's that one leg in there. Top of the audience. I'm going to see too. We're going to start it there. Love that. Love that. Every time, man, it just makes me, it just makes me so happy to do that for.

44:25What do we got today, Omar? What do we have today? So today, we've got right here. We're going to start off with a little bit of Yannis. Yannis was that, that three he shot at the end. This is where it all started. He was feeling good. But like, what was the form like on that? Does he have a good form here? Do you think he works on that? I don't think so either. Moving on, we have our star of today. Hi, Mayhakes. He's going to be on this one a lot. We have a few of this. Get it up. Oh, boom. That one hit up the rim fight. Yeah. A lot of force on that one. You know what it was? You know, it's funny about it. It hit the rim. It came back from the rim at the same speed it went at the rim. Play it. What? There's like, there's no lost energy. There's like Einstein equation somewhere and they're happening on that ball in the rim, right?

45:26They just studied this in a physics class. They actually came at the same speed it went at the rim, bro. That's hilarious. Right for number three, we've got Miles Turner. This man right here, hold on. I just got to start it. So there's like 16 seconds on the shot clock. He's going to set a screen. He's going to get the ball back and he's just going to do some fancy footwork right here. Woop. Side step. Woop. And, nope. And I was just trying to do this on the catch, bro. Just do you, y'all think you work on that shot? Right here. We've got a, we've got the Jaime special. Not again, bro. Not again. Why? Brother. Why? My friend. What are you doing? Brate. Brate. Brate. What's going on? You don't know where you're going. Oh, man. Business key. Oh, my God. One more time. One more time. Real quick. Right. Why? And one week. Oh, my God. Come on. So that. Come on.

46:26Here, baby. And then right here, the close things that we've got our final one. This one drove me fucking crazy. And this is fantastic work. So I thought they lost the game. That's the ball. This one. Oh, my God. I'm pretty sure Yannis took that pull up three right after that. He was just like, it might couldn't be any worse. I hated that whole, I hated that whole possession. And the fact that it ended in a Yachton is, and a, and a, and a hawk is three. Just, I was like, I would have rather him giving it to bam. Because bam's, if you look at where bam is, he's got a smaller dude on him. So why is Yachton is, I mean, I get it, whatever. But like you pass it to bam, there's still five seconds left. He could have either drove, pick up a foul or shot a three on a smaller guy. But instead, we're going to pass it to Jaime with a seven foot miles turn or closing out on him. And then we know he doesn't work on this particular shot. We're lucky we made it out.

47:27Made it. Survived a three point game with a minute to go. And Yacht is fucking threw after that. So thank God, thank God for that. Man, let me tell you something. It's a, it's huge that they really sell visitors. These, I mean, them and the Clippers have really come back from the depths of hell to really kind of write the ship on this season. But huge shout out to them, man, it's not easy to do. And I just think that this, these next two weeks are going to be really trying and telling for who they are as a team, starting with Saturday night against Orlando. Quick programming note for you guys. I will be on vacation. Pretty much from next, this is the last show I'm doing until Easter. I'm going on vacation. I'm going to Japan. I'm going to, I'm going to a concert this weekend. So I will miss the Orlando game. And then I have some family functions. And then I'm going to Japan next week. So I will be gone.

48:27We will be doing shows. Shavon is going to hold it down. Alpha is going to hold it down. Tiffany Meets is going to hold it down. Frankie committed to coming back for a little bit. Brian Goins is going to come back for a little bit. Chats says miss you already. I miss you. At least I'll be in the same time zone as my Australian homies. We need a group chat. We need a group chat for the time zone, baby. I want to talk to y'all. Chats says Tiffany haven't seen Tiffany a long time. They will, you know, she's going to hold it down. She's going to host some shows. I was going to host some shows. Shavon's going to host some shows. I'm going with my beautiful partner. We're going to have a great time. I will hopefully, I'm going to try to pop in some shows. I may be walking the streets of Kanazawa of Tokyo. I'll come in for a post-game show. Just on a bedding there. That'd be really fun. We'll play some morning over there. So I wouldn't be on a bedding. I might be hung over. But I'll be, I'll be, I might be walking the streets of Tokyo. And coming on the show, I might, oh, yeah, that's correct.

49:27I would say, there's Chats is off the socket. I'm going to tell you something. Nothing like socket drunk. Nothing in the world like socket drunk. It is the best drunk ever. It is better. Socket drunk is better than being Molly. It's better than I'm Molly. It's just the best. It's just the, it's one of the best feelings in the world. I love socket. Chats says, gee, will your GF let you? GF let me what? Go out, like join a post-game show. Go on a bender or go on the posters. I'm not going on a post-game. I'm not, I'm not going on a bender. Yeah, it's hard. You know, when you're in Japan, I find it hard to go on benders. I'm so tired at the end of the day. But I don't got, I don't know, I'm washed. I don't got an in me to go drink. I don't got an in me to go drink like that. She's going to be in the cat cafe screaming out of heatwood. I'm too allergic to cats, man. I'm too allergic to cats. That says G's still with their girlfriend. Love that for you. I'm very happy. We're happy. We're doing great. So that's a programming note.

50:28So you'll be, you'll be in great hands in our beautiful staff and Omar. Omar will be here to cradle you to meet. Yeah, there you go. We got the keys right here. Where's got this? This is all we need right here. That's all we need, man. That's all that's all we need. And a lot of big heatwood. So it's my last show until Easter. I'll be back. I'll be back in April. So I'll see you guys. Hopefully when I come back, Miami is, and we're getting, I mean, because I get back and then there's a couple more games that we're gearing in for the playoffs. So I'm praying that I come back. We have a few games and we're fucking previewing. Heat next, baby. So it's going to be, um, I'm glad you're back in on this season. Chats says G. Why doesn't your GF come on the show? You could. You can have my, my girlfriend had a lot of takes on the player's shoes. She doesn't like how their shoes don't match. Uh, why is chat sending me Korean? I'm going to Japan. This is, I'm not, I'm not going to get it.

51:30I can't, I can't read that. I thought what I thought what I was bad earlier. How's that? It's great. As I was going, says their girlfriend hates it too. Yeah, she was really upset that she's like, why? Like, I believe, uh, I think it was Pell Larson was wearing like lime green shoes. And she's like, I don't like that. And somebody was wearing pink shoes. And she's like, I don't like that. They're not matching. I don't. Chats says that's, uh, that's Australia. Oh, it's a Korean. That's Australia. You're back in on the season G. I'm so very happy. I'm back in, bro. I thought I lost you, man. I thought I was the only one actually crazy. Everyone made me feel crazy. Well, because like, my position has always been the same, right? It's like I, I would prefer them to tank and I prefer them to do things. But, um, you know, I'm not going to, at this point, I'm not going to try. I'm not going to fight paint. Jets said, uh, this GF yearns for David Stern's MBA. Yeah. Yeah. That dress.

52:31I, I, I yearn for David Stern's MBA. But I didn't, we didn't know what we had, bro. I know. We didn't know we had. So I love you guys. I, I will miss you chat. Um, I will, you know, I'll, I'm sorry, Australia. Yeah, Omar, sorry. And hopefully, you know, everybody, you know, you'll be, you'll be on the best hands. And I can't wait to close out the season with you guys. So enjoy. I will miss you guys. I will miss the heat. Thank God I didn't go and miss bands. If I was in Japan and BAM scored 83, I might, I don't know, bro. That would be, that would be horrible, dude. That would be horrible. But fucking one regular season, the two weeks of the regular season, I miss it when the, y'all made an uneventful regular seasons. Games there have been. God, um, so I love you guys.
