Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Miami Heat Beep post-game show.

After what feels like the first good team, The Heat of Beaton, in 2026, I'm your host

son, Carlos Namus, and with me today to talk about the heat's big, big, big, and I mean

big win against the Houston Rockets is okay.

What's okay?

Hey, man.

How you doing?

I'm legit fired up.

I legit care.

It's a great day.

I was an Omar today.

I'm happy watching Miami Heat Team win.

I'm happy too, man, especially after seeing all the comments and everything everybody

has said from the team, you know, past, present, those guys.

It's great to see them respond, especially on the prime time game where you know the majority

of the NBA world or the NBA fans are watching because, hey, it was the only game on in

a window where, you know, the Charlotte Hunters, I want to say got a win who are trekking

on, you know, right on their heels and playing territory, which nobody wants to be.

So it's just good to do all of those things, you know, on a day where you really don't

like talking basketball anyway, Friday or Saturday.

But here we are at the Heat win, which makes it sweet.

A win that I feel good about, a win that I enjoyed watching one of the probably one

of the games in season that I've enjoyed watching the most.

And this stream wouldn't start without the super chat from CM200.1 says, Pell is relentless

spamming where combined for 37 points and 26 rebounds and close together that you'd

be lining up to close out that fourth quarter, Tyler still gets buckets.

Wiggins came up big late, high miss six man in the year, defense turned up late, didn't

spam threes in clutch time, couldn't have said it better myself, CM, the homie from

Australia, who I don't know if this was a better time for you to watch a game or not,

regardless, the true heat, faithful, Thundercat and chat says, fuck KDF, but blessed for calling

Tyler, oblique to his face.

Listen, big day for Kevin Durant's investments, I guess, you know, he's losing, he's losing

on the court and, you know, in the public eye.

So big fuck you to Kevin Durant for Warmonger, and back to basketball.

I joke that's okay.

We're going to open the show with geopolitical talk, it'll be basketball instead.

Okay, honestly, one of the, truly, one of the best wins that they've had this season,

and I want to talk, I actually want to talk about the game, I don't want to talk about

big pictures today, I want to talk about the actual fucking game because late in that

game, couple interesting things were going on, Miami went, Wiggins as a primary ball handler,

which I thought was interesting.

I thought Wiggins as a primary ball handler was a little different.

It wasn't Tyler kind of spent, which I think makes their double big lineups work a little

better when you have a wing handling, and you have some extra ball handlers so that when

you do kick the ball out, like there was a moment where Davey, they ran a pick and roll,

Houston defended it well, after Miami had scored, I think three straight times on Wiggins

wear a pick and roll.

The third time, you know, they're ready, they swing the ball to Mitchell, and now they

have a ball handler on the perimeter who's not being the trigger man, who's not doing anything,

who's now can attack a shifted defense, or they had Fontecchio in the third in the, in

the first half, they had kind of him with, with Yakutonis and Wiggins all playing together.

So I think that they're finding ways to unlock this two big lineup, and to me, you kind

of saw that evolve throughout the game, and I think that's, I think that's the most

important thing we could take from tonight.

I mean, I would agree, it just, it yes to be saying that they're going to continue to

go to look consistently, which is always the thing you hope when you see something interesting

or something that might seem like it might work, but I think what it does is because you

have to bring some of that help out to to guard Wiggins as opposed to just having them

in a corner always right in the media helps out position, where you can just sprint out

to them from up under the rim or cheating back to the defense.

When you bring that out and expand that defense out, I mean, you're pretty much creating

a matchup right there where it's like, are you going to take the explosive attacking wing

or are you going to give the big the lob at the rim, or whatever comes after that, because

like you said, having that guy, the guy that can attack off of those, you know, if he

kicks it out, or if Kelo gets it, it has to spray it out to that other guy that can attack,

like you said, to just create so much natural leverage.

And I think that's happening because the guy that's showing you these springy bouncy

and ready to get above the rim at all times now is the guy that's actually initiating

the action instead of standing in the corner, letting out emotion, go to waste.

I totally agree.

And there was a play.

I think that really kicked off all of this in the fourth quarter, actually, which was

the Miami calls a timeout, they come back at some time out and they run this Wiggins

wear lob.

We actually have this play here.

So if we run this, right, it's going to be Wiggins at the top of the key, come, come

in out of the timeout and where's going to come screen to Chen Gunzare and drop.

And it's a good screen, wear roles, notice, and it's something I tweeted about Miami's

re-incorporating the, the empty side, weak side corner, there's nobody in that weak side

to help.

Bam's in the strong side dunker spot.

So the help is not coming on the side of the lob.

The guy on the wing is tagged to the shooter hero.

The size is defending the action.

It's a three, four pick and roll with some size with one guy in the paint and where, you

know, they pressure the ball or where's able to get there.

And that, to me, you saw everybody's there, bam's in position.

By the way, Houston's such a good physical offensive rebounding team.

Let's run that back one more time and look at bam, bam's ready to, to kind of fight for

an offensive rebound and make it tough for them, you know, they're in the right spots

and stuff like that.

To me, K, that was kind of the storyline late in that fourth quarter.

It's like, okay, we know that they've struggled late in games.

We know that they've struggled in the clutch.

Who's going to be the guy to bring them down the stretch?

Is it Tyler?

We've seen that he can and can do it.

Is it a guy like bam when he has it going and is aggressive?

Is it a guy like Hawkeyes?

Is it Norman Powell who did not play today?

You know, who is that guy, right?

And I thought today with the two bigs, it made sense it to be Wiggins.

They ran a lot of pick and roll for him, which we talked about on the show before.

When rubber hits the road and they need scores at the end of games, they go to the pick and

roll, right?

They can run their stuff all day, but the end of the day, that's, that's their way

of, okay, we're slow.

We're grinding.

We need a different look.

This is what we're going to do.

And Wiggins, primary ball handler at the end of that game, Maple Jordan.

Maple Jordan, a little back.

That's so much there, man.

And I want to get into it all a little bit without being too wordy.

So to your point about Andrew Wiggins, shout out to that man who took the elbow to the face.

I wasn't late in the third.

Yeah, dude.

Culture.

Right.

Before he had to go get stitches in his face and come back out and still do what he

was able to do.

Now to the point, and it was very, it was highlighted, especially in the clip you

show, this, and I want to be optimistic about it, but this is what I guess makes you fear

that thing where you're like, okay, is this going to be something that we can see you

to see?

It was the perfect offense against a defense that features Shane Goon.

Because anytime you get him to leave the pain, he can't, he's not quick enough to recover

against anything.

So it's the perfect defense for guys.

So I just hope that we continue to go to it.

That's the first thing.

But then secondly, you said it, gee, it's like the Miami he's offense is like a give it

to you.

And let me go ISO.

So I say that to say in the grand scheme of things.

And I hate to say it because Dwayne was right.

Who were your three guys?

And we want to imagine that's Bam Tyler and Norm if all things are equal, but we've seen

over the course of this season that, um, I suppose comfortable putting the ball in Wiggins

hands.

So comfortable putting the ball in homie's hands to your point, as I mentioned.

But today, what you saw was instead of it being a driving spray for a Wiggs open three

or instead of it being, okay, we're going to flatten it out and let Wiggs go to work

on his man from the top of the key or from the free throw line extended.

We're going to put Wiggs in some action and we're going to see what we can create

off of that.

What you also said, having a bigger ballhandler who can also do a lot of things unlocks

the two bigs as far as how you can utilize them from the picking road.

So like you said, Bam's position today has an offensive rebounder and Bam also is

the guy that's quick enough to reposition himself, maybe at the top of that free throw

line and need be in that action to make it all work.

So it's just a situation where you hope they keep going to it, but a lot of the things

work today and, and Spodey and make it a lot easier.

So we should be appreciative of that, which by the way, you mentioned that Dwayne asked

on the pre-game show, because Dwayne and Udonis house and we're on the the broadcast today

for Amazon Prime.

We're going to get into kind of the whole Amazon Prime presentation in a bid.

But Dwayne, you know, Dwayne did mention kind of what you alluded to is who's there closing

guys and we actually have that clip here for you guys.

And it was the same question that Axe Tyler is, what's the closing, who's going to close

this these these games?

We're losing a lot of games because we can we have not been able to put teams away as

close games.

And so who's the guy that's going to be the closer, what's the package?

Who's involved in it?

When I see the heat play, I see them play very well to 35 to 40 minutes because of their

pace, because of their space, because of their offensive packages that Spode put in.

But when it get down to winning time, I need to see two or three guys that's in the mix

that you know what they're going to do.

And I don't get to see that with the heat a lot.

I mean, I think he nailed it.

And I think that's a, I think it's important to have a legend give you a little bit of

tough love.

You know what I mean?

Like, ask those questions.

Um, and we, we have a clip that he sent to Bamman, we'll talk about that when we get

it to him.

But I think that's important and I, and I'm glad that you brought it up.

Um, Chats has Pell had 20.

Yeah.

On a very under the radar, 20 points by Pell Larson, um, who is just fucking fantastic.

Dude, everybody, I got, you know, before we move off, Wiggins, I want to ask you one

thing defensively.

Okay.

I do feel he did on KD because KD had a really great game.

Uh, Durant finished with 32, 5 and 8 on 12 of 20 shooting.

And this was the ball well from three was two of eight got the line six times.

Only a single turnover.

I, I thought they competed well on him.

Um, I thought Wiggins did a good job.

They were doing this thing in early in the game where, you know, Miami was, was switching

a lot.

And I think they kind of did a better job of, of not conceding a switch or early, but

when they did, uh, like somebody who is big like Bam would come to give a late, uh,

big double on Durant, which I thought was kind of like interesting and, and it worked

and I prefer that in some of their early helps up.

But, um, I thought Wiggins, I thought Wiggins are really good today.

I was really impressed offensively and it was one of, I think it's better defensive games

even though, you know, Durant, Durant certainly got his look, man.

This is what I say about Andrew Riggins, especially this year with the Miami, he had an

chance to watch him on a game and a game out basis.

He's a lot better than I thought he was and you don't appreciate the everything else

about him, especially the defense until you have a chance or until you're tortured enough

to have to be a fan of the Miami Heat, but that's neither here nor there.

But I said this to say, he did a great job and you, it's KD.

I mean, it doesn't be real.

I mean, he had a man like Bernard accounts, but he can also get buckets.

So it's a situation where the Miami Heat showed him multiple bodies.

You, you mentioned Bam, you know, helping in and raking in, you know, showing the face

or whatever, trying to make him uncomfortable in some of those plays, but you noticed

it from everybody, especially Davey on any time that he could get over that pale, any

time that they could get open to try to bother him when he's seen to have a ISO in the

spot, especially at the top of that free throw line, either corner.

Um, yeah, I mean, you know, they did the best they could do.

And then in the other times, like you said, where Andrew Wiggins was on him individually,

he always made him take a tough shot like Kevin Durant made a bunch of tough shots in

this game, but the key to that is they were tough shots.

And that's all you can hope because then the end, he started missing a couple of, you

know, I mean, in the end, when a lot of them were three and I thought they did a good

job of not giving that up.

And I thought part of that was not giving up the switch to easy.

And I think part of that, I wonder, I have to wonder if he's, if he's sticky when, when

the screen comes, if he's like, is there a late help?

Like, do I have to, you know, I felt he was a little more rushed on some of those

trees than normal, the, the, the, the non, the pull-ups.

And I, you have to, I wonder if that's something in his head and something to consider.

I like Nikias, that's the Nikias, the homie and chat says, how'd you feel about the volume of

zone? I think it's a great question. And I wanted to talk about this 2k because I actually liked

the way when they sprung their zone tonight. They had like an eight point lead, I think,

in the first half or something, or at some point they had like a lead, like a, what a,

a decent lead. And they went to zone after whatever their man was working.

And I, I prefer them to go to their zone from a position of, of power rather than reactive,

because I, I think, I think they're, I think their best defense is, you know, is with BAM

and when they switch. And I think when they're, when they play a lot of their kind of size on the

wing and when, when Mitchell's in the game, right? And they have a lot of guys who can help,

who can defend, who can kind of guard their yard. And I think the zone, I've always been mixed

with it, right? And I think we saw against the Sixers how I understood why they played Hakez,

kind of at the top to meet and be there. I didn't hate it. I didn't love it. I'm kind of like

very aunt on the zone. I liked what I saw today. I liked that they, I liked the ways that they

used it. I didn't mind the volume of it. Um, but I, I, I'd prefer them to do it when they're up

and they're trying to extend the lead, rather than when they're trying to get back into the game,

or they're like, Oh, I have no answers for X player. I hate when they use zone, because they're

like, Oh, well, this guy, like Maxi's kicking our ass. We have to go to zone. I don't, I feel like

that is predictable. It's like, you're waiting for it. I think if you're the opposing coach and

you're the opposing player, you're just waiting for, you're like, you're looking out for it, right?

Everybody knows I play competitive, I play competitive smash. And, and in melee, you know,

sometimes like, I'm like, Okay, I know this fox is looking for run-up up smash. I know it, and I'm

waiting, because I know you want that shit more than anything in the world. And I'm waiting,

and I'm sitting on it, and I'm sitting on it. And when you spring it, I'm ready. As opposed to

when you have a, when you're playing from a position of strength, you, as you might get caught off

guard by that, right? Because there was no need to do it. And I prefer it in that sense.

So that again, a lot to that question. I didn't mind the volume either, because I always,

the volume either, because I feel like they always deploy it when they need it. And for the most

part, it's successful. What I do appreciate about the whole thing is they've seen to work on the

rebounding out of the zone, because that's always been my issue. Because when they go to the zone,

they kind of get accomplished what they want to get accomplished, whether that's fully getting

themselves back in the game, fully tilting the game, or at least breaking up the momentum of

the other team. It's just typically that offensive rebounding board. So your point where you

mentioned Houston's a good offensive board team, which is especially impressive. That offensive

rebounding part usually kills them there. When it comes to the issue of when they deploy this all,

I can see what you're saying. And I don't mind that as far as using it as a booby trap or a

tactic of throwing you off as opposed to like a desperation, you know, life raft.

It's not a gimmick. It's like they use it as a gimmick. I don't think it's a gimmick. I think

it's like you have a tool in the tool belt, like use it to throw people off, not to like make a

fucking fun house mirror maze, you know. And that's what I was about to get to, but they're actually

so good at it when they do it that I guess they need to go there sometime if they need to stabilize

or make a run. I agree with you. But that goes back to how I initially answered the question.

It's a time and thing. And that's going very from game to game. You mentioned that Kevin

DeRent was off shoot in the three. Assar that yeah, Assar, he's, hold on. I get him confused.

My bad. Which one is the Rockets? I'm an Assar. Forgive me out there.

But yeah, he, you know, he struggled shooting the ball, both of them struggled, but he struggled

shooting the ball. Tariy Easton really didn't get himself going until later in the game.

And of course, like I said, you know, seeing going is really going to operate in the paint for

the most part. So, you know, you, you could go to it. I mean, when you wanted to with earlier,

as you wanted to tonight, after you realized those things, and I reached up a dead kill you early

on with some threes outside. But if he was going to be the one to beat you and they apply more pressure

with Davey on, as I think went on, trusting them with two fouls, even at a point early in the game.

I think that it's just about when you go to it as much as how much you're using. But your point

with stands too. And we've seen it de Floyd, both ways, which is why I don't think it's an issue.

But like I said, I understand what you're saying. I, I, I, by the way, I think it's up, man.

So the other thing. Okay, wait. Yeah, there we go. The other, uh, I'll tell you

what I'll go excellence. And I'm not wrong. Listen, you're not, you're not wrong. You're,

you're absolutely not wrong. They're both anyway, whatever. Uh, another thing later before we kind

of get into more players, specifically things is I, I liked that they went out recheppered at the

end there. And I thought, it's so funny, Kate, because last show with Omar, I literally was saying

how I hate when teams let guys off the hook, like when they're playing a guy that probably shouldn't

be surviving defensively. And it's, since Jimmy Butler has been gone, they have not really

had a kind of, they don't have guys that can just like attack them, like attack a certain matchup.

And I kind of liked that today they found ways to do it, right? They, they went at guys and

put, they targeted because they ran pick and roll, right? So they were targeting certain guys

in pick and roll. They were, they were going at certain matchups. They were, uh, configuring the

geometry of the floor to go at recheppered. And I liked that. And I thought their late game offense

had purpose. And I think one of my, my issues with them as a whole this season is they're so

directionless and listless, late in games. And there's no, if Norman Powell is not

balling the fuck out or if like, there's not like a clear guy that's like playing awesome,

there's no hierarchal, like, they don't, there's no like, there's no plan. And I thought

today there was a plan. I was like, we're, this is what we're going to do. We're going to run

these actions. And we're going to go at this guy. And if they take them out the floor, we're going

to change our plan. And I liked that. And I think that that showed me a little something today that

I haven't seen out of them. I'm not going to lie in a while.

So you have a point, man. They just seem like they're coming out there winging it. And you can

use the last game where it's like, you know, Tyler hero did the same pull up transition three's

late in the game that he had done earlier in the game to kind of like illustrate that point. But

as you said, they attacked the attack shepherd with, with pale, even on that bait, even on that,

that right, you know, short corner early off of out of bounds play. And then once they didn't have

him to attack, like you said, they went to shingle and in the picking roll. I mean, because he's so

slow, but if he challenges, he can't get back to the dunker or, you know what I mean, otherwise,

it's going to be an open lane for Wig. So I liked that they had a plan as well. But again,

you just hope that it's not matchup dependent on something they can continue to go to as they look

to try to do something in the East. I mean, to, to, to, to who's pleasure or not. But you know,

they're not going to stop trying to win. So I mean, I just hope that they can continue to

explore with the double big lineup. And it's important to mention. And you, and you got to just

say what, what you're seeing, when we're plays, when he finishes games, it usually looks better than

when he doesn't. So I think that's definitely something that they have to this correlation and

causation though, because if he's closing the game, he's probably playing well.

Like, you know what I mean? Like, I think that he doesn't. And by the way, 47 rebounds to 47 rebounds.

That's one of Houston's offensive rebounds. One of Houston's biggest strengths. Miami was able

to level that playing field Miami on the night had 14 offensive rebounds. Houston had 15, right?

So you, you played that to about a push. That's, you know, that's what the double bigs are for.

Right? Like, they're to control that and, and Houston's physicality. And I thought, you know,

credit to where I thought he was on Shenguin. I thought he did a really good job. There were some

big defensive possessions in the third and fourth quarter where Shenguin is cannot get as close

as he wants to the basket. And I thought where with his length has really good contests stayed

down on fakes, moved on all the spit, like moved correctly on all the spins and everything was

really, really disciplined. And I think it's something you're big is, you know, if you're big jumps,

if you're big kind of gets beat, you know, it, you're kind of cooked, right? It's really hard to

make up for that. Even if your health rotations are on point and really Chris, but he was exceptional

today. Just individual one on one stuff. He was really good today. And again, we talked about kind

of Miami's late help and all that stuff and how good that was today. So credit to him. And I,

I don't disagree with you on some of the where stuff, by the way, finished the night 13 and 15,

six to 10 from the field, which is huge. I want to talk about the other center tonight,

BAM, who was real, real fucking leader today again on the court. 24 11 917 shooting led the team

in field goals, which by the way, that's what K, we've been asking all the time. We want that guy,

like, Hey, buddy, shoot more buddy. How about you? You know, he, I'm going to play the clip of what

he said the other day after when they lost to Philadelphia. And I think he responded.

Yeah, I don't want to be more. We're better than being in the plan every for the last four years.

Protect home court. You know, we already been struggling on the road, so we go home.

When some games, you know, being our atmosphere, being being our habitat,

our fans are cheering for us. And say we can strengthen W's together.

He looks so fucking dejected. And the fact I, everybody, when he did that,

K, you saw it on Twitter. Everybody was like, I don't want to hear it, dude. I don't want to

fucking hear from you. And I was the same. I don't want to hear from him. I didn't care. I was like,

you haven't been a good team and forever. You know, I, I have to do the show with Mr.

positivity Omar. And, you know, I was just like, I don't, I don't want to hear from many of you,

people. Yeah, he's smiling in the bottom camera. That's so funny. Um, and he, you know, he

responded. That's another night where he is kind of the primary fuck it. Give me the ball kind

of guy. I don't know how long that'll last, but it's certainly a, it's a sight for eyes.

You mentioned you don't know how long it'll last, but in the last two games, specifically,

what has been noticeably different from ban for me is he's doing a thing attacking off the

dribble down hill that he's playing the way that he's played sporadically across the rest of

his career. Like we might see it once again, you know, one, one and a half times every other game,

whatever. Um, but in the last two games, specifically, he's had a mindset to attack off the

dribble. And I'm gonna tell you what else that's that, that fake and step through and finish that

he's been doing over the last four or five games. He's really unlocked something there,

which is a good counter to his, uh, you know, his fader-junction however he wants to deploy it.

I think that, you know, with the mentality he's showing, he is pissed off if you paired with the

statement. So yes, it was a great response from the statement. Absolutely. Absolutely. Not settling

for the midi, getting down hill, getting to the cuff, making stuff happen with his athletic,

strong self. Um, and as Friday always likes to mention, he's faster than most anybody they're

going to put in front of him. So once he, you know, get his bearings about him, get his feet where

he wanted to be and get busy going down hill, there are a few guys that are going to be able to stop

what he has going on. Um, and we're going to get to the, uh, broadcast, I'm sure, but the guy said,

like a ball of steak knives, nobody wants to stay in front of them. I said, oh my lord.

Anyway, what does that mean, bro? What the fuck does that mean? We're gonna, we have some,

we have some for them later. I guess it means you're going to get cut, but listen, if,

and bam continues to play, I mean, I don't know if you guys mentioned it on the last show,

and I had to go back to those, I mean, since gang that was a loss, but he had a Euro step dunk

on somebody like, I mean, that, those type of moves or the moves where he's, you know,

just handling his business, um, going through guys off the dribble, that's the type of man we

need to continue to see. And I hope this pissed off mentality continues, and that's what is going

on for vote. I think he dunked on Bona. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And yeah, we thought we fucking detonated

on him. And, uh, and he played well that day, but again, nobody kind of stepped up around him.

But again, I, I think, you know, K, one of the things with me with this team is, I, I think

this is one of the best games that they've played all season. I thought their game plan was really

good. I thought that effort was good. I didn't shoot the ball that well today. And I don't give a

fuck because I thought the process was good. I thought the rotations made sense. They didn't ride

line up too long. I thought the decisions made sense. Even when they didn't always work, I thought

they made, and I thought most of the reasons for today. I loved, and I tweeted about this, and I

talked about this already. I love Fontecchio with the two bigs with Wiggins to, to kind of help give

a little size and ball handling with Yaka Jonas to give a little extra kind of pizzazz to the line

up. They put Drew Smith in at one point with that two line up, which again, a ball handling more

defense hit a big three. I know Mooseby was punching air. I, I think today was like, I was more

impressed today with how they played in the Thunder game because the Thunder game Oklahoma City was

struggling. And I felt that some of that stuff felt a little fluky. I thought today, I'm like,

you look at the performances and you're like, a lot of this is, is like replicable. Nobody

did anything that was too grandiose. I mean, even Hawkes, who had a really, really good game,

what did he finish with 14? 14 points. And I thought he was really 58% from the field today.

I thought it was really, really good. And he put a stamp on the game, but it's not like

anybody exploded for 35, 40, whatever. You know what I mean? Like, so I don't know. I'm just so

high on this win because it feels like they should be able to build off it. And this is kind of like

what, you know, you imagine how good they could be. This is a group that you imagine.

Their issue is that none of these guys, these, these performances, they're not consistent.

Hawkes can't do that every night. Bam can't do this every night. Like, okay, I've always said this.

Duane Wade never had a bad game.

We watched that guy and he never had a bad game. And these guys have a lot of bad games. And of

course, that's the difference between a first ballot Hall of Famer top 25 players of all time.

And these guys, but, man, it'd be nice if you have like these guys gamers, you know, like it's

chill. If you have like, you know, if you have one bad game a week, that's fine. But like,

fucking, it can't be like, you can't have one good game a week or two. If you have two good games

week, we're like, oh, man, or one good stretch in the season. Like, I need to see, you know,

I, I need to see some real, they talk a lot of what it's supposed to the other day because that,

that bothered me. And I'm being hard on them after wind because I want them to succeed. And I want

them to stack things on each other. But Eric said, winning is, it has to be the bottom line.

Take it or leave it. Like it or not. That's what the Miami Heat is all about. We're competing to

win. And I'm like, how is that going for you? How's that going for you?

But with with the win line today, I'm like, okay, you got a fucking great win against a legitimate

team that if they won the title, it, it's not surprising. Kevin Durant's still fucking got it.

And I want to see them build on this.

So it's funny that you, you know, sped and sposed face while using a spower them to set it up.

He said, I want to see them stacking things. You wanted to say stacking wins. I knew it was there.

I heard it almost coming out, but you, but your parents ever did that to you? They never like use

your own language against you. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to like make it make your parents.

immigrant parents, you know, go there. Bro, that's the topic. I'm not going to have to especially

after you told them what KD has been up to all morning. But anyway, hey, man. Hey, man.

Look, some shots didn't miss.

Oh, that's crazy. I wonder what a auto politics. Why do I only do that with you?

But I literally only, I do these inappropriate jokes. It's only with you.

I don't, I don't do that with Kyle. I don't do that with Shabon. Don't do that with Frankie.

Don't do it with Lou. I don't know what it is about you that brings it out of me.

That's we want to have to send that to the research department.

Katie, Katie, him boss.

Not, not, I mean, two, three, not really.

Yeah, this is how we get. This is how we get. Absolutely.

Absolutely. We're anti, we're anti, we're anti war. We're anti war. Absolutely.

Yeah, we're anti armed conflict. I think, you know, 100 percent.

It's a very interesting news day. But definitely the end of the day. Listen,

that's the consistent thing. I think that's why the 76th performance is very important.

You see, I'm trying to move on really fast, because right now I'm getting bothered.

Yeah. Yeah. Um, I think I hear nothing. My doors. They already on says anyway.

So, I mean, you just help me. Hey, man. Hey, man.

Throw you from the roof.

It's a lot of wild stuff going on.

Well, that was that's the most online. Should I send it like forever?

If you guys don't know about the CIA guy, please just go on Instagram or something.

You just put CIA watch the videos. I've been obsessed, bro.

Jesus. There has been another 9-11.

That won't kill me, bro. That's not punchline. That was the funniest one.

What a day for you to make that reference, but I'm going to leave it there.

Um, because of Shane Good.

What are you saying, man?

What are you saying, bro?

What was your point? Nothing.

I'm, um, look, I.

Spowe wants the team to be everybody eats. Like, Spowe wants it to be a buffet.

So, do you really? I mean, as far as the offense goes, when you said,

hummus, wait. The hummus, bro. The hummus.

Oh, well, if they can just consistently get production from somebody, um, outside of,

you know, I guess, knowing whenever he comes back from the growing injury, um,

then they should be, you know, at least competitive.

Because like you said, they're not a terrible team.

It's just that they don't have any defined means of going about things

when the game is coming to the close.

I agree. Um, I wanted to talk about the broadcast a little.

Actually, let's, let's do hero and then we'll talk about the broadcast because

Tyler started today, which, um, we have, uh,

I don't think we wanted that very much, but, you know, he started today.

And I'll get another good game. I think he's, I, I think every game he's played

has been good this season. I think for the most part, maybe this one or two that hasn't.

I guess played a lot. How many games has he played?

Uh, Ollie, could you find out how many games Tyler hero has played this season?

It can't be more than, has he played more than 20 games?

We're in game six. It's 61. 14.

I think that's where game 61 today was game 61. He played 16 games according to, uh,

okay, our producer Omar. Um, and I think probably 15 or 14 of them have been really good.

Again, today wasn't the star, uh, didn't take over down the stretch, but

I thought that's the kind of game he could have.

Like 18 points, hit some threes. Really, there was a moment in, in the third, fourth, where

he kind of took the scoring load and really kind of brought that like bridge to line up.

That worked like really positive for Miami. Got them through a little rough patch.

Um, and I, and I think that's who we should be. I think he's a good player. I think he's probably

the best ball handler on the team right now. And I think he's probably one of the more underrated

passers. The best shooter off the dribble that they have. And I think they should harness those

strengths instead of forcing him to be this high volume, high usage creator.

I agree, but I think that also also like leans into the fact why he probably would be better suited

for, you know, this Miami Heat team coming off the bench and being that seamless guy that plays

the same amount of men is so close to the amount of men is as a starter because it allows him to do

that thing that you said, be the bridge between lineups, be the bridge between lows and scoring.

But at the same time, be able to operate in a manner where he's not always out front the focal

point, the arrow or the defense and to be quite honest, not always playing five starters who are

going to attack him and try to be overly physical with him. Something that you saw going on early

and often today in this game against Houston. So no, I think it's the perfect role for him. And I think

you saw him almost leaning to a more not let me feel not at less passive. That's the wrong word.

But a more a more decisive game from the onset. I don't think you took his first shot until maybe

like four or five minutes into the game. So, so you just saw all of that being expressed with how

he let the game come to on the day. But I want to say which was impressive and which also spurned

them along just like, you know, Wiggins performance out to getting hit in the face. I guess one in

the same, but differently assaults. You know, that back and forth in the way the day we're going

right at each other and not backing down to any of the physicality of backing down any of the

trash talk. That definitely helped to mind me. He propelled themselves to a win on on Saturday.

I love that, by the way, and I think of like they need some edge to them. And I think when they

don't have edge, you can't be like this fucking culture team. Hardest working, but when you don't

fucking edge for like, talk shit. Like my younger and gardener cannot be the only edge you have on your

team. Did not play today. True. I'm sure he was giving Katie a piece of his mind. I'll tell you

that. No, I'm sure he was telling them all sorts of things. Eric was protecting Durant.

I mean, we had the, I mean, the Durant going to Tyler just, you know, right in his face after

he used to take the lead. Pretty funny. I'm not going to lie. He calls them a bad word that we're

not going to repeat. And then they kind of get into it. Both of them kind of get into it over

here, which I like, bro, I like Tyler talking shit. I like, I like him talking shit. I like them

getting separated. I like their, they're being a little, you know what I mean? A little edge,

a little, you know, a little hate never heard anybody.

I mean, especially when you remind me, heat team, if I yourself

not try hard enough or not playing hard enough or calling to your captain and your coach,

or when it seems like, you know what I'm saying? You're not up to the challenge or

or you, I know what burns you run says or mind the chat. But I mean, when you're talking about

a mind me, heat team to find themselves unmotivated at times, I think that you have to play with

that type of edge and physicality too. I mean, you've got to get yourself involved in again one

way or another and you can't just have one dude doing it. Like you said, my own partner. Now,

it's normal. Talk a little trash, but no one's more politician than fighter. Like normal talking

of trash. And then once they get right up to the, you know, I'm saying, here, walk away or

smile or whatever. But I think normal getting involved if it really went there. Wigs is so quiet.

So you've got to have Tyler here or doing it, man. I mean, you know what I'm saying? He's the

only one that don't cost shit. Bam, bam. Bam's everybody's friend. Right. I was gonna say,

bam, so friendly with everybody, dog. Bam too nice. Don't say it like that, bro. He's too nice,

bro. He just wants to be. He, bam is a dude that if you get beat up, like, you know,

bam sounds like everybody. And if you get beat up, bam's not going to help you because he's like,

the guy beating you up is also a zombie. My dog. Yeah. You know, that's crazy.

You know, like, so it's like a fifth period being like, yo, that's fucked up. Then talk to the

other guy. Oh, man, you got him. You know, he's just, he's just everybody's friend and he doesn't

want to ruin that. And so he begged to have to do it up for his right hook. But then he can't make

sure your eyes. That's crazy. He's like, damn it. Yeah. You know, just, just lay low. He tells

the other guy. Lay low. Lay low. Bring my shame. I love them, bro. I just, he's so nice.

Everybody fucking loves bam. Like the same from Friday. Like you want some of me, oh man. Yeah.

So I like that Tyler is doing it. I mean, and I think, you know, we have some

couple Tyler plays here. I mean, he, he looked really good today. I think the handling. And

we've, and I like this play too. I'm going to, I'm going to bring that back for a second.

Because I like where Tyler catches the ball here. So Wiggins is right. Wiggins is running the

action. He gets in. He gets kind of stuck in the middle of the, of the paint there. And Tyler's

going to catch the ball pretty deep. And I like that they're using those catches with him and

Hawkes to like get ahead of steam. And he's going to close that gap. So he does have an open pull-up

that I like that he doesn't settle for. Uh, there's nine in the clock. I think it would be a

totally reasonable shot to put up. But he, he goes, right? He just goes. Oh, he does take the pull-up

excuse me. I thought this was a different. I thought this was a different.

Hey, man, he made it. He made it. I thought it's so funny. I thought, dude, I thought that was

a different way. I was like, he's going to shoot the gap. I was like, I love that. And I even

said on the, I was like, that's a perfectly reasonable one to take. That's so fucking funny. Oh,

my god. I thought he was going to take that. Well, let's note the comment. Let's note the time.

So second quarter, four minutes. The point stands. Uh, the point says that he just looked

really good. You know, just attacking off the dribble, getting to the pull-up, you know,

oversized, like shot that over KD that, that's, that's huge. Um, you know, just positive,

positive day from Tyler here. Well, no, that was good. That was a really good

make right there. I like that one. Um, the one, the second one. But I, I know that the time,

because like I said, he was setting them up with the shot. You know, he had just made one,

a couple of possessions before. So then like I said, once he was, because he kind of hit him

with a hesitation before he started to go down here to get to that middie too. So, you know,

he was setting it up, man. You won't early. You just won't write yet. Let's put it like that. But

to the point of that second shot, um, I really liked that one because back to the physicality, man,

one thing about Tyler Ero, we've, we've said defense just to be general, but it's been that other

people have physically challenged him and you think back to like what the Cavalais did last season

and the playoffs, how did just kind of consistently went on and what the Celtics have done in the

past, leaning on him, putting a physical pressure on him, making him get up in there and play with

him on the defensive end. Um, like from a close perspective, you like to see him be able to

exert some of his physical will or at the same time, not back down from what's man presented to him.

Because as we know throughout the game and as you show with that clip where KD called him a

piece of anatomy, um, you know, they were going at each other and he wanted to show KD that he was

there and not just from a, I'm a target perspective, but I can make a big shot and I can make a big shot

through contact and probably what you would have got called a foul on.

And I appreciate that. Like I appreciate that kind of, um, what's the word I'm looking for? The,

the wherewithal, the, the agency to do that, which I think is important.

Um, for this group, let's talk a little bit about the broadcast.

Uh, because it's, I think it's the heat's first game on Amazon, right?

Am I correct?

In, in this capacity in midday, like in a prime time standalone spot, I think they've had,

I think they've had one like, you know, in a random weeknight with prime, got a game.

You know, I think he had a bomb with like, yeah, we're playing a game.

And then he's trying to make a game. Yeah, that's who, that's who, you know,

UD works for us. Hey, I'll put them on.

But we got the prime time. Yeah, we had a, a, a gaming against the next, but today,

I think, I think this was Dwayne's first game on the broadcast.

I don't know, I just wanted to talk a little bit about it because they haven't been on prime a lot

and I think it's one of the biggest TV partners, the new TV partners for the league.

Um, and I, I just really liked Dwayne and Udonas.

I think Dwayne and Udonas are fantastic together.

Um, Chats says that the other game was on NBC.

I don't even know. Am I, am I going crazy?

I thought this was their first game on Amazon and my wrong chat.

Can somebody tell me?

I need to know because the other one I did believe was a peacocker or NBC game.

The mini game was NBC. Okay. Well, whatever.

I'm going crazy. But I like the broadcast.

I like the broadcast. Uh, I like Del Curry.

I like Del Curry. I'm a Del Curry fan.

Don't, don't love the other guy, but I like Del Curry.

Um, K, I was confused by the British guy on the sideline.

It was, it was very, uh, it was very interesting.

Like, like, I don't think I had mentioned until you, like, I was very confused.

Isn't a good word.

But I was intrigued.

I saw I'm interviewing Alperin Singh-Goon early before the game.

And I was like, okay, cool.

They got this little overseas plan.

Maybe this is because of the time of day is, is, is, is being, you know,

simulcast, um, in Turkey or something.

I'm like, and they're giving us a little European failure on an interviewer.

But then, like I said, as he continued to interview everybody, I was like,

oh, no, this is his job full time regular.

Um, so just interested as you mentioned, um, so, you know, here a guy with his accent,

um, made a sideline reported.

Nothing's wrong with it.

Like we said, and it's just interesting.

Um, and even familiar, he wasn't like, you know,

I'm familiar. He didn't ask, you know, anybody, anything in a non, uh,

what's the word I want to say?

A non cool way for lack of better terms.

Had a little swag on it.

What do you mean by that?

What?

What do you mean by that, bruv?

Like, I think, exactly.

That's what I'm saying.

There were no gloves, but, um, exchange.

You know what I'm saying, he, he didn't ask anybody if they, you know,

saw a little bit of space in the payee, you know,

he said it as if, you know, these people would understand it.

I'm joking.

But I wouldn't like them to be like, you know, that was class, you know,

class, class match, class match that.

Like you wanted to call it like a soccer match.

Oh, yeah, like for class, class dunk that, proper, proper dunk that, proper.

Yeah, the opportunity to do that, man.

Bro, I thought that would have been the other dude that you didn't like,

the racially and big and guy that was working beside Dale Carey.

That, that would have been a lie for him.

Oh, and I didn't mind the broadcast.

I liked it.

I thought his colorful metaphors were on time.

I thought he tried it.

He went, you know, he, he shot his shot on a couple of them.

Like you didn't know what a ball of steak knives, man.

When I heard it, I knew exactly what he meant.

I didn't say it was good, but I think he also said,

that shot was as soft as a butterfly with sore feet.

I said, what?

Yeah, I mean, where's he going with this stuff?

But he's trying.

Like I said, my only thing was I just, it was a little,

it was a little weird seeing his face at the hearing them speak up.

Okay.

Dude, I had the experience where, so I watched Liverpool play this morning.

And I haven't done anything.

My girlfriend went to a brunch and I just didn't really have much to do today.

And I just kind of sat on the sofa and planned a vacation that we're taking.

And I had primarily gone all day.

And then this game was at 3.30 and I flipped it on.

And I'm not looking at what the volume's on and I'm like doing something else.

And I hear this British guy and I'm like, is there another,

is there another prem game?

And I see this guy talking to say good.

And I was like, oh.

Well, I wasn't expecting that.

I was, I don't know if this was a Manchester City lead's recap for something.

I was like, what's going on?

You thought that TV was still a little accent in the guy.

Yeah, I thought I was on peacock with the slate of, you know,

I was like, they're a lake.

Did I miss this?

Did I miss this?

Is this Teller Mondeau?

What's going on?

No, I'm joking.

Dude, that sure was funny.

I enjoyed it.

I like when they play.

I like that, I like these new partners.

I like, it gives, it's a nice coat of paint.

And I think it breaks up.

For me as a fan, it breaks up the monotony a little bit.

I love Eric.

I don't love karate, but I love Eric.

And it's nice to get like a little something different, you know.

And I'm a, so tell your point.

I agree with you.

I like the fact that we have different presentations

and different ways of seeing and experiencing, you know, NBA broadcast

across this season.

But what I'm going to tell you and I, and it's funny you bring this up,

or we, you know, find ourselves so intrigued

with the analysis and the commentators today.

Because I found myself the other night

or the other evening.

And I know some love them or hate them.

And they're not for everybody.

But I don't think, I don't, I miss NBA on TNT.

Like, oh, I don't think you get a nod with it right now.

Like bro, like, don't tell the guys.

Don't tell the guys now.

My bad bro, he's, he's not a NBA on TNT guy.

He hates him.

He hates him because he, I think rightfully,

Nakaia's wants the actual on course.

Some pure content.

So like he wants him to care about the, he wants him to care about the game.

Well, that's what I mean.

They don't watch the games.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like, and they constantly thought that in your face.

I agree.

I agree.

And I guess that's why I said love them or hate them.

But I just found myself missing them.

But to that point, I, I do choose for the record.

And yes, whatever ESPN has done with them has been better.

Yeah, put them in the back of the file.

Okay, I mean, roll them out like, yeah, fuck it.

What is ESPN?

What does ESPN do well?

Um, I mean, the college football players

that says, okay, so they're good at college football, uh, and they're good at their,

they're, they're okay.

They used to be better at tennis, but they're okay at tennis.

Their soccer coverage is, eh, they're gonna get it.

They put a lot of women's for us.

Not even, not even the good one.

Not, I mean, the women's soccer is on paramount a lot of time.

I love the women's national soccer team.

And there are.

There's also professional professional women's soccer.

It's a USA or something, right?

Yeah.

And WSO, ESPN, I don't know, the WNBA might be on ESPN.

Well, not on rivals on, on rivals on Turner.

And, and I think that's a really good broadcast.

I think they do broadcast women's soccer on Sundays, though.

I think women's sports Sunday.

Is it a WS, it might be a WSO?

Okay.

But I mean, I'm, I'm not trying to, I watch American football, American footy.

I watch Liverpool women play in the women's premier league.

Hey, man, above my pay grade.

Love your pay grade.

Um, yeah, people are complaining about ESPN.

They have low league.

They do have low league.

Um, okay, see there you go.

There you go.

Today's show is sponsored by strawberry.me.

Let me ask you something.

Do you think championship athletes got to the top by guessing?

No, they had coaching.

Every elite athlete has a coach watching their form,

calling the plays and spotting the blind spots.

They can't see themselves.

That's how championships are one.

So why are you trying to win in your career without a coach?

You're grinding, hoping for the promotion,

trying to read the politics, guessing your next move.

That's amateur hour.

If you want to perform like a pro, you need coaching.

Strawberry.me matches you with a professional career coach

who breaks down your game film.

Recently, our company softball team lost the big game by one run.

Then Dale tried to console us with the quote,

winning isn't everything.

Dale's a loser.

I played a win like early payout from Beth 365.

If my team goes that big, I get paid out instantly,

even if they blow the lead later.

Sounds familiar, Dale.

But they don't have to wait.

They don't have Duane Wade because Amazon Prime has Duane Wade.

I love him there.

Dripped out.

I love his office.

And I love you, Donas.

And they're great.

Now what I say about Duane Wade is he has dual duties.

Like you might see him calling the game from the sidelines.

All you might see him in studio.

I don't think we see.

Have you Donas been a son?

Has a Donas been a son?

An actual game.

Yeah.

I don't think so.

I think he's mostly a studio.

I think he's the best in studio, guys.

He's like, he's always there, bro.

I feel like Dirk and Steve are rotating and some of the

and Blake Griffin rotates.

I feel like you donas is always there.

I've never watched a game on Prime

that you donas is not there.

I feel like it's a lot of Blake and a lot of UD

and a lot of Rotate and other guys.

Yeah, because other guys like Dirk is like,

I got shit to do.

You know what I mean?

Hi, good man.

Dirk and Steve Nash, you know, they got shit to do.

But I think Blake Griffin would have shit to do too,

but I'd stop.

So I don't know.

Just a quick, quick aside on the broadcast.

And of course, we got to bring you.

Did you work on that side?

We can't end the show.

We're going to bring an Omar for this.

And we'll talk about the shots

that people may or may not have worked on.

We're going to set it up there.

Oh my goodness.

Fall in time.

No.

Have you ever set this up?

Looking for Steph.

Now Dremons got it.

What did you do that for?

Dremons.

Are you working on that stuff?

Got it.

Oh.

Oh, that's quick.

It's Cody Martin.

You got to hit it.

Oh, step back one leg in there.

We're going to set it up.

What is he doing?

We're going to set it up there.

Hi Omar.

Hello, hello, hello.

Welcome guys.

Should we just jump right into it?

Because we've got some newsies.

Are you feeling happy today?

I mean, that's a big, that's a big win.

You know, you love, you don't want to thank.

You're always team, win every game.

I've got some thoughts.

We'll talk about it.

Before we get into D1, I haven't say one thing.

I don't know if anybody's noticed the little logo

If you download, we've got to have a little skill.

A little skill because these are skill games.

It's a skill game and you played it.

You played a win and it's just like solitaire.

It's like solitaire.

It's just like solitaire.

It feels good to be right.

Lord knows our old intern, Pablo, he plays every...

Pablo is so, he's having so much fun playing price picks

that he's playing Australian soccer.

Because he needs to play at that hour of the night

as well as cricket.

So that's...

I was going to ask about the cricket.

So he's talking about more lessons, huh?

There's everything.

There's everything.

There's everything.

And then cause basketball and cause football.

You know, that's always fun.

So, download price picks today.

I used code heapy to get $50 in lineups

after you play your first $5 lineup.

That's code heapy to get $50 in lineups

after you get your first $5 lineup.

Price picks.

It's good to be right.

Alrighty then.

So that's the price picks.

Good old price picks, man.

What's our first one here, Omar?

What do we got here?

So we've got Tyler doing a step back.

One leg, almost one leg good.

But it's early in the shot clock.

Tyler's like, I'm him.

I'm gonna take step backs.

Two step backs.

That looks really good.

The shot clock.

Yeah, I want to run that back.

That looks good though.

But he does work on that.

He works on that.

He looked...

That was good, man.

I felt good about that look.

I felt good about that look.

That was better than the one fade into the right corner

where it felt like he traveled in Philly.

I know y'all had that one on D-wise.

I know y'all did.

Yep, yep.

That one was wild.

That one, yeah.

That one looked like a doughnut.

We have right here.

We have a reed shepherd.

Doink.

Uh, he's a good three-point shooter.

He works on the shot.

But if you hear the sound, which we're not playing,

boom, you heard an atomic eruption,

the way that it hit the rim.

Careful, I was laughing in the world.

Let's careful.

I'm gonna get you, buddy, everybody.

Be careful.

Now with KD on that core.

Be careful.

God, that was a doink right there.

And then...

It made me wonder.

Does he work on that shot?

Because normally he does.

Now here, this is wild.

Let me just let it play.

I'm not even gonna talk about it.

Look at this.

Yeah, shingun's on the nassia's air ball on the fade away.

That shit is...

That was...

What?

I know he's like traveling like a brother.

You can't let Hawkeyes defend you like that, shingun.

You cannot let Hawkeyes defend you like that, shingun.

My friend.

You cannot let Hawkeyes defend you like that, big dog.

You cannot.

This is just...

What is good dog?

This is just very disappointed in shingun.

And then last one, we have a bam heat check.

Early in the shot.

Just for funsies.

You know, just early in the shot clock,

13 seconds left.

There were plays to be made.

Bam just wanted to say,

am I Michael Jordan?

And, you know, I don't mind that.

I don't mind that.

I got to be honest with you.

I didn't mind any of the...

Either heat shot on Dua today.

I didn't mind him.

I in the moment,

I was like, you know what?

Fair play.

Now it's gonna be fair.

So, bam, this time, it's a take norm shot.

Now, during this segment,

I just want to...

The philosophy of doing work on that shot.

Like, yes,

sometimes it is great.

We'll refine magic in a bottle

and there will be a shot

that clearly someone does not work on that they will take.

But we can't...

They can't all be winners, guys.

I'm doing my best.

I'm trying, Jennifer.

Okay.

I love how we have Holly and our assistant producers,

like, she technically does work.

I know, Holly's gonna be shitting the background.

Anyways.

By the way, we have an update on Tyler and Durant

from the press conference.

Tyler, on him and Durant,

Dapp and Coast game.

He said, we're competing at the end of the day.

He was saying I couldn't guard him.

Then I said something to him.

We're competing at the end of the day.

You want to be able to play against the best

and compete like that.

That's what I live for.

I love to compete.

I love that.

Happy ending.

Happy ending to the Kevin Durant, Tyler, hero beef.

Absolutely.

I mean, he didn't need any more bad press to do.

I promise.

If I can, if I know,

if I can just get my quick thoughts on the game

to put some positivity,

you know, hope trafficking dishonest thoughts for a quick.

Yes.

You have 30 seconds.

Yes.

Permission coach.

So we talked about the,

the band blow by that happened on NB where he dunked

and then it was like on top of the boner.

That has continued in this game.

We do love that.

My favorite game was not this one.

I believe it.

You talk about this being your favorite game

because you thought that okay, C1 was a bit fluky.

I thought the pit, the game against the pistons on the road.

We cannot forget about that one.

I thought that they blow a huge lead in that one.

And they held on.

We won.

Anyway, so that pistons game on the road

that we want against the number one.

Am I getting that right?

Is that what, is that that one that they had like a really?

A really big lead.

They made it interesting.

It wasn't like 20 points or anything.

They, they, they, it was no.

I'm asking, I'm asking questions.

I think of like 16 though.

I'm asking questions.

Yes, they made it scary.

But I told, I told G that like,

Kaleel earlier in the year,

like when supposed to stop playing BAM and Kaleel together,

that's supposed way of saying it's not you, it's me,

but it will come back brown

and I think still realize, you know what, it is me.

And Kaleel has earned the right to close.

We talked about that with K and I podcast ago

and based off of the way he's been playing the last few weeks

and doing the things that spoke most of the time,

is that's going to do when he closed tonight.

BAM on his relationship with Kaleel.

Quote, he listens to me.

Sometimes he listens to spoke and quote,

and I think sometimes it's more frequent.

So I had no idea, by the way,

that NBA teams had dental staff on site

with anesthetics.

That's crazy.

And my last point here to close for me

is Tyler's growth as a ball handler.

If you guys remember the season after the bubble,

when they tried starting him to point guard for a little bit,

we talked about like he would need to work on his handles

and then we talked about him like poking up,

getting into the paint and finishing.

This is like, you know, Tyler today is really showing

like he's kind of put it all together.

We have our issues with him,

but in terms of the things that we've asked him aside

from on the defense of that, however,

he is not a terrible gambler on steals,

but like he's getting in the paint,

we don't gamble here.

He's not getting to the free throw line.

Correct.

He's not getting to the free throw line as much,

but he gets in to the paint,

and his muscle and his platyling has let him to do that.

So it's like solitary, y'all.

It's like solitary, y'all.

Yeah.

Promoko, eat meat.

Big, it's out of the present.

No one's got many thoughts on anything I just said.

All right, nice, cool, cool.

That's all I have to say.

I feel like, you know what I was going to say?

I mean, you recap the show.

It was like, it was like a little recap.

You know what I felt like?

It felt like the CM Super Chat,

where he gets off like every point

that we're going to talk about.

That's what kind of felt like.

You just kind of like.

That's what we did after the show

in which we just talked about it.

And he commented throughout the show in the private chat,

about that's a great point.

Yeah, thanks, pal.

Don't come over here.

You know what it is?

And it's a bad one, Bob.

Oh, that's a bad one.

Before you go, my favorite part was Omar being like,

I want to say my favorite win.

I love you.

Well, I think no, it was the best win.

I was already the best win of them.

What the best win of them, like, you know,

like in terms of challenges.

And no, I think the best win is the thunder.

But I think the quality of like the quality of play

and the win, I would say it's a skin.

Her I would say it's like I wrote of these of these takes down

before we started the pod.

So when you guys started going through my takes,

I was like, those are your ideas.

They're my ideas.

These are my takes.

And they're also CM 200.1's ideas.

There was a listen that CM is not as optimistic as I am.

But this team, listen, man, the reason we all get so disappointed,

especially chat during these games is because we have higher

expectations for this team.

I know everyone loves to say that this roster sucks.

They're not any good.

But if that was the case, we wouldn't be so dejected.

We would feel like bulls fans after wins would be like our

after losses, you know, because the bulls have a direction.

They're there that that organization picked the direction.

Yeah, the directions, the directions to the bottom of the

standings.

Right, but we wouldn't be as frustrated during the losses that

know, yes, we'd actually welcome them because there's a

direction.

The problem is is that they're win one.

They lose one.

They win when they lose one.

Listen, today's a happy day.

Today's a happy day.

They beat a good team.

They played really well.

You know, we made fun of Eric Collins, who I just learned his

name from Lane Lesser and Chat, who called the game with

Del Curry.

And yeah, man, so don't let go of the rope.

We're on again.

I believe the next game is third to the two day.

We have the Brooklyn back to back.

They have a home and home.

Yeah, they have a Tuesday and a Thursday game against Brooklyn

and then they have a back to back.

I hate back to back.

I don't know if it's over, it's never seen happen.

So three game, three game week next week.

Big win.

Thank you to K.

Thank you to Omar.

Thank you to Price, Big, thank you to Oli.

Thank you to everybody in chat.

Thank you to CM201.

I would say thank you to Twitch, but no Twitch subs today.

No, a big win and no Twitch subs today.

Shame, shame, shame.

Don't think I don't notice these things.

Omar, I'm sorry, no, you can't eat tonight.

I don't know what to tell you.

I can't you too, so I'm sorry.

No soup.

Yeah, it's so it's a blank Twitch chat.

I'm sorry, no, no, they have another.

No, Twitch chat said no.

Twitch chat said you don't get to eat.

So tell your dog that another day of no food.

I apologize to your pup.

So Omar starving.

Chad, I love you, except for Twitch.

You can still salvage it.

And we'll see you next week for heat nets.
