Transcript

00:00Here's Tyler Hero after yesterday's debacle.

00:03He says, you know, we still think we could have lit up Orlando.

00:06Great.

00:07Well, thanks for that one, Tyler.

00:08Why is he dressed like men in black?

00:11I was trying to figure that out as well.

00:13I don't know.

00:14No, I don't think it's, you know, obviously Orlando has a great defense, but I feel like

00:20we have a good enough offense to be able to light them up.

00:24And honestly, we're getting good shots in the first half.

00:27We're generating good looks.

00:28It was a two-point game, three-point game at the half, back and forth in the first half.

00:36And you know, like I said, we kind of just fell apart there in the second half on both

00:39sides of the floor.

00:40You know, when the offense started to kind of go in the wrong direction, it felt like

00:44our effort, our intensity, and our attention to detail kind of just went out the window.

00:48And that can't happen for a team like us.

00:51You know, we want to compete for a championship, and that's not it.

00:55What's the look he's going with?

00:57I don't really know.

00:58It's like a Top Gun Maverick meets the Funds.

01:03I honestly think it's not even doing it justice because he had like the whole, he had like

01:07the thin jeans and the nice shoes on.

01:09Wait a minute.

01:10So he had thin jeans on?

01:11Oh yeah.

01:12But a heavy coat?

01:13Because the giant looks heavier than him.

01:14Heavy coat.

01:15Yeah, heavy coat.

01:16I don't like the fit.

01:17I mean.

01:18I don't like the fit after a loss.

01:19Yeah.

01:20Put on some sweatpants.

01:23I don't get it.

01:24Nice shades.

01:25I like the shades.

01:26Also, it's like super hot in Miami right now.

01:27Why are you wearing another t-shirt?

01:28Nice white shirt.

01:29Black tie.

01:30Like it.

01:31Tell you what wasn't hot.

01:32His shooting.

01:33Oh yeah.

01:34Like, here's, and it's harder for me to, it's harder for me to make, to say this because

01:45I don't play defense.

01:47Right?

01:48I only played offense.

01:51You talk about as if you were Tyler?

01:53Yeah.

01:54Yeah, I got you.

01:55But it almost seems like if you don't make a shot and you're 0 for 5, your ass need to

02:03be picking it up on the other end.

02:05For sure.

02:06Right?

02:07Let's say you lost it too on the other end, like that, that's discouraging.

02:14I think the thing that's discouraging is, okay, well you guys don't really have a talented

02:19offensive team.

02:20You know, you're trying to tweak some things to get some things right.

02:23Cool.

02:24Okay.

02:25Let's say I wanted to be the most optimistic heat fan and be like, I need to get it together

02:31in this system.

02:32Cool.

02:33You know what?

02:34I'll do that.

02:35Make me the most homerific heat fan of all time right now.

02:40But are you guys not supposed to rest on your defensive laurels?

02:45Is the point not to get the hell after it?

02:48Because Orlando in an even game scoring wise, they got after your ass and you guys who talked

02:58all preseason about how you're going to turn the ball over, get out on the run, two steals

03:05after you guys were, were racking up double digits and Spell was disgusted.

03:10He was disgusted afterwards.

03:11You could tell because he was asked about it and you know, he knew he's like, yeah,

03:16that wasn't, that wasn't the, the activity wasn't there.

03:20The, the, the intensity wasn't there and it showed until the second half of the fourth.

03:26You guys only had two steals after getting so many steals preseason.

03:29I know you want them to be disruptive.

03:32Was the activity there and the results weren't?

03:34No, no.

03:35The activity level wasn't there.

03:37You don't need stats to, to see it like you can feel it when we're active.

03:43It might not lead to steals, but yeah, what we've felt, you know, the last three, three

03:53weeks, we didn't feel that tonight.

03:56You don't feel it.

03:59You don't feel defense.

04:03You play defense.

04:05Ridiculous.

04:06Terrible.

04:07Terrible.

04:08I'm just lashing out.

04:13Good point.

04:14Lee Raymond, take a bite of your pizza after that.

04:16It's the biting of the pizza.

04:17That was like him sticking the land in like Simone Biles.

04:21You don't feel defense.

04:27You play defense.

04:28You know what?

04:29We need to have this.

04:30This is what we're going to do now.

04:31I'm bringing you.

04:32I'm getting you a season credential.

04:33Every home game, but I'm putting you with a pizza box in the back of the press conference

04:38room.

04:39And you're just going to respond to every answer.

04:41No.

04:42No.

04:43Tom was like, we got a good enough offense to light them up, dude.

04:48You guys couldn't light up a candle yesterday.

04:50That's how that offense was.

04:52But you're going to sit.

04:53At least we're just going to sit there with this Papa John's be like one way player.

04:58No, I'm a dude like Marcos.

05:04Like who is that?

05:06But like here, the hardest thing for me to, to deal with is a person who has to say so

05:17in what happens on the court, saying the way we didn't have it, you all control that.

05:24I know.

05:25Couldn't somebody say something when you realize we got it and say, guys, let's get

05:30it going.

05:31How about Carol?

05:32May control it.

05:33You may control all of it, but I'm just saying like, like, like when, when, when, when people

05:39say, when P when people say, oh, we weren't very physical today and we try to pride ourselves

05:45on being physical.

05:46Well, if you realize that now, 15 minutes ago, you were playing wide.

05:53You know what I mean?

05:54Right.

05:56There's something about also getting your ass kicked by somebody named Paolo things

06:00a little more.

06:01Ain't nobody going to say nothing to that man.

06:04I think I'm losing to a superhero.

06:08Nah, man.

06:09You lose into a Brazilian powerhouse.

06:12That's what you lose.

06:15Dude, he was doing whatever he wanted at will.

06:20Ridiculous.

06:21He's a guess what?

06:24As big as I thought that he got, every person I saw standing in front of him looked tiny.

06:31How about when bam, like finally got in front of him after he was like using them like a

06:35turnstile and then he just goes, watch this behind the back pass, right?

06:39The Wagner, by the way, Wagner is another good one.

06:42I know.

06:43And he was talking a hell of trash.

06:44It's sneaky.

06:45Good.

06:46Right.

06:47You're just thinking.

06:48No, no, no.

06:49It's it's the other one that the annoying Mo cause he's annoying, but he's actually

06:56effective.

06:57Every brother duo in the NBA, there's a talented brother and the annoying brother.

07:01But the annoying one is the one that you want on your team.

07:03Yeah.

07:04He does the little stuff to win.

07:05He's got that.

07:06He's got that pillow.

07:07Larson hair.

07:08You like the pillow.

07:09Larson.

07:10I'd like to see it play.

07:11You mean in the phrase of the heat impact winning.

07:16Oh, is there an Alec Ingle on the heat that you don't want to see stats?

07:23I thought it was Haywood Highsmith, but let me tell you something.

07:27Haywood Highsmith was like, give me that ball and clear out.

07:30Hey, wait, don't you want your better players to be like the guy who's more likely to score

07:39to be saying that?

07:40Yep.

07:41Not the guys down to, you know, and I appreciate, you know, I appreciate him.

07:49Haywood Highsmith doing his thing because no, God knows nobody else was trying to, right?

07:55But it and here's the other thing.

08:00Here's what I watch and tell me if you guys agree.

08:05We watch 22 seconds of shot clock, but he trying to get a great shot only to Russia

08:12shot with two seconds left.

08:14Yep.

08:15A lot on a lot of possessions.

08:17There was like, there was, yeah, there was one possession where like, they all was like,

08:21boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

08:22And it was finally like, bam, getting hacked under the rim.

08:24I was like, that's where you guys ended up with.

08:25He had like four open looks.

08:27What are we doing?

08:28That's what I'm saying.

08:29Like we've gotten to the point where everybody stays sharing his care and I'm like, no, no,

08:33no, no, no.

08:34The, there is a chain of command here based on money, right?

08:40It's like you pay Jimmy and bam for the 20, 25 points, right?

08:47You pay Tyler for the threes and then the others get paid to be accessories for sure.

08:55And, and, and so that chain of command needs to take place.

08:58If you're going to win, everybody's stars, listen, the last team to win a championship

09:07playing basketball like this, I want to say is what did Detroit Pistons.

09:16Probably maybe a little bit of the four teams, but even when they were competing for a championship

09:20with Jimmy, Jimmy was the guy Jim was going to get you 2530 and knows me when, when things

09:27were getting, getting, you know, when things weren't looking good, Jimmy would take the

09:32basketball and go get 12 straight points.

09:35Yeah.

09:36I haven't seen that guy.

09:37I don't know.

09:38Maybe like the Cleveland game last year.
