Transcript

00:00I don't like this because Tim Hardaway, who is beloved, all right, number 10 in the rafters

00:11and one time on this show, settled a great debate because he settled what is worse brain

00:18freeze or funny bone.

00:21And you have that to me, that was an all time from, from old Timmy because we, uh, man,

00:28he can break some things down.

00:29That's that is, that is the thing, killer crossover, number one point guard in heat

00:35history.

00:36I'll give it to him, but go around.

00:37You're closer than anything, dude.

00:38I love you.

00:39Um, he was on a little podcast called all the smoke.

00:43All right.

00:44I don't think the full episode is out.

00:45I think it's coming up after our show today.

00:47I think the whole episode comes out, but they put out a little promo clip.

00:52So this is going viral and he was discussing the Jimmy Butler, Pat Riley relationship,

01:03which of course even Tim Hardaway knows it can get tenacious with old Riles.

01:08He's been there speaking from a place of experience Leroy, but I didn't like what he, he went

01:15a little too far for me because I feel like it's, he's trying to drum some things.

01:22I'm just going to play the clip.

01:23I'm talking too much.

01:24I'm rambling.

01:25Here's Tim Hardaway.

01:26I'm talking and he boys right now, y'all finished the season off kind of Rocky, a rough press

01:32conference.

01:33The Godfather came out and you know, put his foot down.

01:36We ain't going for this.

01:37This is my show and whoever going to be here going to be here because I say so.

01:40I was waiting on that.

01:43I was waiting on that.

01:44I knew something was going to happen.

01:46I said, I told some people, I said, pack on talk this year.

01:51Especially, you know, he's tired of a lot of things that's going on with the team.

01:57He's tired of Jimmy Butler.

01:59Well, Tyler Herro too.

02:02He been babying Tyler Herro for a minute and he just staying her, he ain't showed up yet

02:05either.

02:06So I think it's, I think he was talking to him and Jimmy.

02:09More so if Jimmy didn't say nothing, you know, about, uh, other teams and you're not playing,

02:15it would have been all right.

02:16But when you came out and said that he, yeah, he's probably talking about both of them,

02:20but I think he really talked about, yeah, directly, yo, dude, you haven't played in

02:24a lot of games this year or last year.

02:27And especially in the playoffs, I need you to play in the playoffs.

02:30If you play more than 70 games, we wouldn't be in playing games two years in a row.

02:37All right.

02:38I need you to play.

02:39You need to take care of your body.

02:40You need to be in this gym, taking care of your body, not, not the gym, but the weight

02:44room, take care of your body and getting yourself straight.

02:47And I was waiting on that.

02:48We all understood all Miami heat people understood what Pat Riley was coming from and you see

02:55what they didn't do.

02:56Yeah.

02:57We're going to wait.

02:58Yeah.

02:59They taking a Jerry Jones approach.

03:00There you go.

03:01That was Tim Hardaway.

03:02Always.

03:03Now, now my question is we've had the same conversation and so why are you shocked?

03:13Well, that's somebody who's closer to it than you.

03:16I might add.

03:17Well, he's a goat.

03:19He's he's in the raft.

03:20Okay.

03:21Okay.

03:22Much respect.

03:23He's more familiar with Pat Riley than most.

03:25So what did he say?

03:26What was wrong?

03:27That was wrong.

03:28I didn't like him saying that.

03:29He, that Pat Riley's tired of Jimmy Butler.

03:31You know, I think we need to go.

03:32The guy's not playing.

03:33He probably said that himself.

03:37We're drumming up old stuff.

03:38I want to go into this year.

03:39I did.

03:40Well, I just, you know, I have to be, we have to report what's in the, in the, in the streets.

03:44One thing that Riley had a problem with us, the question for the public, hold on, hold

03:54on.

03:55That's not fair.

03:56We don't know.

03:57He could have brought it up himself.

03:58No.

03:59You know what?

04:00They're bringing up the one question from the press conference that you hold on, dude,

04:05hold on for 30 minutes.

04:08They bring up the one question you asked.

04:13That's not fair.

04:14Jimmy Butler had said, you know, if he was healthy, that Boston would have gone home.

04:20I know it's tough to live in hypotheticals, but if he was able to play and Terry was able

04:23to play, did you feel like the golf has gotten way too big with you in Boston?

04:27Or if you had your guys, it might've been more competitive.

04:31We played, you know, I've been involved in competition and playoffs against certain opponents

04:36that turned into hate, you know, I mean, even since we've been here, you know, I hate to

04:42use that word, but the competition gets so, so tough that, that you don't like one another.

04:48And so we played Boston four times, I think, in the playoffs since Jimmy's been here.

04:52So you know, you do develop some, some dislike for the other team, but they are this year,

05:00I think the best team in the league with the best roster in the league and made some great

05:06moves.

05:07Brad Stevens did a great job in getting Holiday and Porzingis.

05:11I think they've built their bench a little bit differently.

05:14And you know, for him to say that, you know, I thought, is that Jimmy trolling or is that

05:22Jimmy serious?

05:23You know, if you're not on the court playing against Boston or on the court playing against

05:30New York Knicks, you should keep your mouth shut and your criticism of those teams.

05:38Hey, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

05:44Now, here's what I like.

05:47Here's what I like to do at this point.

05:52You can cry, you can whine, you can say, oh no.

05:57But did Pat Riley say anything wrong?

06:01No.

06:02Okay.

06:04Okay.

06:05So what's your problem?

06:06Did, did, wait, did, did, did Tim Hardaway say anything wrong?

06:14I don't know that he's tired of Jimmy Butler.

06:19When somebody said, if I came to you and we having a conversation, I say, you need to

06:23keep your mouth shut.

06:27She should keep your mouth shut.

06:28I don't like how you nailed that.

06:30Yeah.

06:31Hey, when I come at you like that, it'd have a little different meaning.

06:39He wasn't smiling.

06:40He got serious.

06:41I don't know if Jimmy was, look, he said, I don't know if Jimmy was trolling.

06:45He was smiling.

06:46And then he said, I don't know if he was serious.

06:49Look, when you say trolling, watch how his eyes bright up.

06:52Is that Jimmy trolling?

06:54See, smile.

06:55Is that Jimmy serious?

06:56You know.

06:57Right.

06:58If you're not on the court playing.

06:59Look at that.

07:00Look at his face.

07:01Against Boston or on the court playing against New York, you should keep your mouth shut.

07:05Now.

07:06So.

07:07And your criticism of those teams.

07:09I don't think anybody cares what you think.

07:14Everybody spoke truths.

07:16Everybody and, and if you're a basketball, if you're a Heat fan, you cannot tell me if

07:22Jimmy plays five to 10 more games, they don't have the two seed, right?

07:29So when you come at people with your comments, I want you to put all that together, right?

07:39And then maybe you should follow Pat Riley's advice when it comes to that topic.

07:45Shut up.

07:46Okay.

07:47But here's the thing.

07:48First of all, being called Heat Yoko Ono, which I don't appreciate.

07:51I don't appreciate that.

07:54That's the best nickname you've ever been given.

07:59But yeah.

08:01So how can you say, how can you be mad or disappointed with anybody said, Hey, nobody

08:09went after Jimmy.

08:10Okay.

08:11Here's the thing.

08:12And everything that everybody said was factual.

08:16So what's your problem?

08:18Here's my problem.

08:19It's kind of like, we're all here for Thanksgiving.

08:21We're at Heat Thanksgiving, right?

08:23And we had our tiff at the, at the 4th of July.

08:27Okay.

08:29And then old uncle Tim comes over and he goes, Hey Pat, telling Jimmy Butler to shut the

08:34hell up.

08:35Huh?

08:36And I'm like, Hey, why do you got to bring it up, Timmy?

08:37Why do you got to bring it up?

08:38He goes, and I think the thing he was most mad about was him talking that bleep when

08:44he wasn't playing.

08:45Not even that he wasn't playing, but that he was talking.

08:48We don't know.

08:49Maybe that wasn't what he was most upset about, Tim.

08:52We don't know, but Hey, no uncle Tim.

08:57But we can kind of tell by his facial expression and about the way he enunciated shut.

09:05And you know, for him to say that, you know, I thought, is that Jimmy trolling or is that

09:13Jimmy serious?

09:14You know, if you're not on the court playing against Boston or on the court playing against

09:21New York Knicks, you should keep your mouth shut.

09:23Can I say the way that he said trolling tells me that one day Jimmy Butler said something

09:31on social media, Pat Riley saw it and said, Hey, what the hell does this mean?

09:37Why is he saying this?

09:38And then in turn is like, no, no, no, no, no, no, Pat.

09:40He's trolling.

09:41And he's like, what the hell does trolling mean?

09:44They explained it.

09:45And now he's like, I don't know if Jimmy was trolling, but he doesn't like trolling.

09:51Pat Riley has no time for trolling Steve.

09:56All your fault.

09:57Mr. Hypothetical old pot store.

10:01I personally think that you shouldn't have a problem with it more than anybody for the

10:07simple fact that Joe ass brought up to come the question that led us down this path.

10:14Not fair.

10:16I'm going to say Pat Riley is out of line or Tim Hardaway is out of line here.

10:22You know, when you're out of line, you're out of line when you speak untruths, then

10:26you're out of line.

10:27But so I asked you this, is any one of these two guys out of line, do we have to keep bringing

10:36in an inline thing that he can't do it?

10:41He can't do it.

10:42Move on.

10:43Shut.

10:44Pots.

10:45Turtles.

10:46Your fault.

10:47Mr. Hypothetical.

10:48Mr. Mush strikes again.

10:50Damn you.

10:51Shut.

10:52Yeah.

10:53All I want is for Jimmy to play more.

10:59Right.

11:00But here's the problem.

11:04Health is not promised to you.

11:07So when you take those couple of bunnies because you're just tired or whatever, then you get

11:11hurt for real and miss time.

11:13It adds up.

11:15You see what I'm saying?

11:17And that's what happened.

11:20Tobin brought up politics at Thanksgiving.

11:25This is what it is.

11:26The facts are the facts.

11:27You're the worst.

11:28OK, you don't have to do that.

11:30You're piling on.

11:31And I don't appreciate it.

11:33Frog boy.

11:34I'm just saying you you seem to have a problem with the truth because you think you think

11:38it's going to hurt somebody feelings.

11:40No, it's just, you know, we didn't know.

11:42Just like we we could have just put a bow.

11:45So let me ask you this.

11:47There's no part of you that thinks.

11:52That if Jimmy would have played five or 10 more games, that the heat would have been

11:56a two seat.

11:57Of course.

11:58Then why don't you let me ask you this, then why don't you have a problem with that when

12:05some of the games missed weren't really about injury?

12:08It's clean slate time.

12:09Oh, you're bringing up old stuff, you know, we'll bring it up.

12:13Listen to it.

12:14Listen.

12:15Listen to this fraud right now.

12:17It's not fair.

12:19Listen to this for you, you right now.

12:22You are seriously into fraudulent behavior because I can name a couple of players.

12:28If the same thing happened, you would be all over them.

12:34Habitual grenade tosser.

12:36Yep.

12:37Jesus.

12:39Analyst Tobes, Tobin Shapiro.

12:42Oh, Toby, you bring up stuff from 2008.

12:46Knock it off, bro.

12:47What stuff do I bring up?

12:48See?

12:49Here we go.

12:50Here we go.

12:52Now you want facts.

12:53We give you facts and you dismiss them.

12:55So which do you want?

12:56Do you want the facts or not?

13:00I just want everybody to get along.

13:02We got we got camp, baby.

13:03You know, you know, we know when you know when everybody get along.

13:08And Jimmy play 70 games.

13:11That's all I care about.

13:12That's all.

13:13And why wouldn't he?

13:14Wasn't there a time?

13:15Why wouldn't Pat only care about that?

13:18Well, you know, it's his job to win games.

13:21Timmy's been on the other end of this as well.

13:23Couldn't he just say that's Pat being Pat?

13:25No, he didn't work.

13:26Look, I didn't care.

13:27He thought his knees were being soft.

13:31OK.

13:32And OK.

13:33So why can't he feel that way about Jim if that's what he felt about Tim?

13:39Pat Riley been Pat Riley longer than.

13:42Tim Hardaway been Tim Hardaway and Jimmy been Jimmy.

13:44That's just so true.

13:46Yeah.

13:47So I ask you time.

13:49You see Pat Riley handling situation like he's handled several other situations in the past.

13:56Why are you shocked?

14:02Goran would never do this on a podcast.

14:04He would never.

14:05Goran would never go on a podcast and say things that happened months ago.

14:09Look, even if he did, I'm not mad at him.

14:12You're the reason we didn't get any free agents this offseason.

14:16That's not true.

14:17You got to see a little.

14:18Blame.

14:19Wait, wait.

14:20Perks.

14:21Oh, yeah.

14:22That's right.

14:23How can I forget?

14:24We signed Drew Smith, though.

14:25All good.

14:26Stop bullying him.

14:27OK.

14:28OK.

14:29OK.

14:30OK.

14:31OK.

14:32OK.

14:33OK.
