Supposed to take my son to his first. He came tomorrow.
00:07
You think Jimmy Bolo be on the roster?
00:13
Lost her. Yeah, the court.
00:14
No, the court.
00:15
No, he won't play.
00:16
That's what you're saying.
00:17
My question is, are they gonna let your ass in the building?
00:21
I got tickets.
00:22
I mean, I mean my credential still works.
00:24
I have not been as I wasn't escorted out yesterday.
00:27
You know, I almost got wait.
00:30
How about this one?
00:31
I got charms.
00:34
She got charms.
00:36
Yeah, would you say that you thought he went to Dallas?
00:38
Yeah, can you be be careful?
00:42
I did so I made sure I checked because it was it said 11 hours
00:47
and I'm like, well, that don't make sense.
00:50
Wade County says take take your son after the game after the
00:53
trade deadline when they pick a direction.
00:54
Now, we're gonna go we're gonna go.
00:56
I mean, he's bringing his best friend.
00:58
We're gonna have a great time.
01:00
Tell you what never disappoints 601.
01:04
Isn't that a bar?
01:05
Yeah.
01:06
I want to know it's a restaurant to restaurant restaurant.
01:08
Oh, yeah that part, you know, they have like chicken tenders.
01:11
I didn't do.
01:11
I really have to go to 601.
01:13
That's fair for thinking.
01:15
He'd want pork belly tacos.
01:20
Man.
01:21
Yeah, I know.
01:21
I'm gonna be like be like, all right, let's see how this is
01:24
gonna go.
01:24
I'm gonna tell but I'm gonna teach you about tall time man.
01:27
Oh tall time all time.
01:29
We're gonna have that three ball going last night almost brought
01:33
us back.
01:33
Huh?
01:34
I thought that Terry Rozier should have gotten it and one.
01:37
Yeah, I thought that was I didn't think that was an offensive
01:39
foul.
01:40
I thought suppose should have challenged that I mean, you
01:44
know, sport wants to take those home with him.
01:48
I guess so, right?
01:49
Like he's like looking at the bench.
01:50
I'm like smoke.
01:51
You're down 12.
01:52
Why not?
01:52
Just you know, I don't understand this.
01:55
We have one coach who coaches football.
01:57
He can't wait to be wrong at challenges and we have one coach
02:00
who doesn't even want to try.
02:02
You know, Paul Maurice.
02:04
That's who I trust.
02:05
Oh, that's a man who can challenge.
02:07
Yeah, that's a man.
02:09
Why is Ricardo calling back Ricardo?
02:10
What is a lot of points?
02:13
Toads gang.
02:14
I'm back.
02:15
Hey, hey man.
02:16
I sorry.
02:17
I had to had to get back in here because I didn't get to say
02:22
everything I wanted to say because the comment section was
02:27
out here saying that I was day drinking for what I was saying.
02:31
Oh, wow.
02:32
So where are you?
02:33
Yeah, pretty.
02:34
Are you day drinking?
02:36
No, no, absolutely not.
02:38
Okay, but I'm saying this my heart is my heart is in the
02:41
right place.
02:42
Okay, I love Jimmy Butler.
02:47
I love Jimmy taking a he's taking us too far and with with such
02:52
little pieces around him that we essentially as an organization.
02:56
I feel like we're letting them down to a degree as well, regardless
02:59
of what's going on.
03:01
But ultimately I do think that it's it's just a matter of like
03:12
just figuring it out.
03:13
This guy's all right.
03:15
He's definitely day drinking is totally drunk.
03:18
Great and do better than that.
03:19
Please.
03:19
Great.
03:22
Great.
03:23
I guess he can't so far.
03:24
So good.
03:25
I guess he can't do better than that.
03:27
He come back.
03:28
I thought he was going to add some points not explain.
03:31
He's not doing.
03:31
Hey, buddy.
03:32
You not doing a radio show.
03:33
You can't explain your takes.
03:35
He was day.
03:36
You don't get to come back.
03:37
Yeah, it's our fault for putting his ass on Jay.
03:42
What's up, Jay?
03:45
Hello, Jay.
03:48
All right, great.
03:49
Everybody's paying attention today.
03:50
Maybe.
03:51
Hello.
03:52
Hey, it's only right radio professional.
03:55
He knows how to get on the air.
03:57
What's up, Smitty?
03:59
Live in the American dream.
04:01
Are you excited for your jazz to come into town on Saturday?
04:05
No, I'm going to be excited when my heat come out here.
04:11
That's true.
04:12
They're both at the same time.
04:15
Back to back.
04:16
I got and I got my old, my very old hockey stick ticket from the
04:21
very first game.
04:22
I'm hoping I can get some players to sign it.
04:25
That's pretty awesome.
04:25
It's many.
04:26
All right.
04:26
How you feeling about this?
04:27
All do anything question?
04:28
Yep.
04:29
We got to understand one thing people and one caller said it.
04:33
This is a business.
04:34
Jimmy's at a certain age.
04:36
And before I go anywhere else, Jimmy, I love you.
04:38
I think you're a great player.
04:40
You've done real good over here.
04:42
It's a business.
04:43
You're 36 years old.
04:44
I understand Riley, but also Riley.
04:47
What have you done lately?
04:49
Some, I don't know if people run, he just hasn't done it.
04:52
What have you brought?
04:53
You didn't bring Jimmy any pieces really that he needed.
04:56
We never been able to do that.
04:58
And I think it's a playing game on both sides where Jimmy's
05:02
done.
05:03
There's no reconciling over here and you're killing the locker
05:07
room right now.
05:07
The locker room when we had that fight the other day that brought
05:11
the team close.
05:12
I agree.
05:12
You brought Jimmy back.
05:14
I thought I thought visor gonna be high after that.
05:17
There you step.
05:18
Thank you very much.
05:19
You're correct.
05:19
But then you brought Jimmy back.
05:21
You messed it up again and spoke.
05:23
I don't know what you're doing.
05:24
You're in like La La Land when that fight was going on.
05:27
I thought you saw you standing on the sidelines.
05:29
Dude, get your butt in there.
05:31
Do what was that one guy with the Knicks?
05:34
You want to go in like Van Gundy?
05:36
Yeah, but you know, I he's made a lot of mistakes.
05:42
It's here and I really I just just a couple games.
05:46
Please a couple games.
05:48
Start.
05:49
We're at Center.
05:50
Put them at Power Pro.
05:52
Just try for a couple of games already.
05:54
Maybe put them a small forward and put Nico power forward.
05:57
You know what I'm saying, baby?
05:58
Tall talk.
06:02
You know what you can.
06:03
I don't know what to.
06:07
Say about how I don't really think there's anything I can say
06:10
about the way suppose handling because his job is to coach
06:19
basketball.
06:19
And when your best player won't play, it puts him in a tough
06:23
spot.
06:23
I know what's supposed to do suppose gonna.
06:25
I mean if suppose gonna be like if he really thinks this is
06:28
what Jimmy's gonna do.
06:28
He's gonna bench him.
06:29
He won't.
06:30
He won't.
06:30
He won't.
06:31
He won't play him if like if that's what it comes down to
06:34
that dude has done that.
06:35
He's frozen out guys with big contracts before.
06:37
Yeah, he doesn't care.
06:38
I mean, remember who was it?
06:41
White side got that big old snitch and it was coming off the
06:44
bench, right?
06:45
White side and I'm mind you guys.
06:47
I'm not comparing what I've done.
06:52
I agree.
06:52
I love what Jimmy has done.
06:54
I I'm the idiot.
06:55
I'm the one who wants to spend Monopoly money till just to
06:57
make him happy.
06:58
That's but part but by just want to be clear part of it was
07:01
because I knew this was gonna happen.
07:02
Like this was this was this was part of the thing.
07:05
Like if you didn't think this was going to be inevitable, if
07:09
the heat thought that that Jimmy Butler wasn't going to go
07:14
to Butler, maybe the talks were going to be good because Jimmy
07:16
thought eventually he'd get somewhere.
07:18
He wants to be but for them to not realize that Pat really
07:22
not to think that this was a possibility by not paying them
07:25
whether you agree or not.
07:26
I mean, that's just that that's just naive on their part.
07:30
Here's the problem.
07:30
I have with you what you're saying if people didn't expect
07:34
Jimmy Butler to be Jimmy Butler.
07:36
Yeah, but but that but those people we have we have more.
07:43
Of an idea of what the hell Pat Riley is.
07:47
Right there was hope but here's the hope that maybe Jimmy
07:51
was going to do the things he said he was going to do.
07:54
Okay, that's really that's where the way I know Pat Riley
07:57
was going to change.
07:58
Yeah, but that's an organizational arrogance, right?
08:00
Isn't that that's that's the blind spot on their part of
08:02
thinking.
08:03
Oh, but we're the heat and we've done good things and we're
08:05
like at some point you guys had to realize like, hey, it's
08:10
not it's still going to be business.
08:11
He's not going to get Dwayne waited.
08:13
He's not going to allow you to just be like, all right, I
08:16
guess it's over, you know, maybe you thought maybe you
08:19
thought maybe they have a rule or maybe they were not giving
08:23
an extension to 35 year old.
08:25
Okay, that's fine.
08:26
But but if that's the case then they should have they should
08:29
have realized that disaster was going to strike at some point
08:33
and did and and be ahead of the game and do right.
08:36
Okay, that's what Pat Riley meant.
08:38
That's what Pat Riley meant, right?
08:40
Right.
08:40
I mean other than also maybe he's mad.
08:42
He maybe he's mad that he listened to Jimmy.
08:45
Maybe with the way Jimu's song before season started, maybe
08:49
he's mad at that because you know, guess what?
08:52
You probably should have known something was up when he came
08:55
to media day late.
08:57
Probably so think about it.
08:59
Probably think about how these things are starting to play
09:02
out and now you're going back and trying to tie them all
09:04
together.
09:07
Plane got delayed.
09:08
Really?
09:09
It's your own plane.
09:10
Shouldn't have known something when he showed up looking
09:12
like the Joker last night.
09:15
Molotov cocktail onto the onto the court.
09:17
You refuse to say looking like the Celtics.
09:20
Jimmy, how would you describe how you thought?
09:23
Hey, that could have been that to another great another
09:25
great hold off.
09:26
He did come looking like the Celtics how you felt about
09:28
your performance and focus tonight felt great.
09:31
I feel like I was focused.
09:34
I feel like I did my job or what at least my job is now
09:38
when you say what your job is now, we're sort of not used
09:41
to see you standing in the corner for extended periods
09:44
like that.
09:44
Is that a change in the team approach that is cast you
09:47
that way and for you to be your best version of yourself
09:51
can that be your role and you Thrive to the best of your
09:54
ability?
09:55
It can be my role here.
09:58
But I mean, that's that's not what I'm used to to being
10:02
I haven't been that since I don't know my first second
10:04
third year in the league where I just went out there and
10:07
play defense, but I competed I guarded I try not to let
10:11
my man score, but that's what I'm doing now.
10:15
Well coach was in here saying he wants to get you more
10:17
on the point and get you more activated.
10:19
So is that something that you're amenable to and is that
10:22
something that might be necessary to get you back
10:24
closer to the top of your game and your form that ain't
10:28
going to fix it.
10:31
We'll get more from Jimmy Butler, but that was a a a now
10:37
Ira you my guy you you you go in there and you try to use
10:46
the big words and and and all that and but did you listen
10:51
to what Jimmy said?
10:54
That ain't gonna fix it.
10:57
You should immediately said.
10:58
So what's the issue?
11:00
We'll get to more Jimmy Butler.
11:02
We got to take a break.
11:03
Obviously.
11:05
Lots to come here.
11:06
We're streaming live YouTube and Twitch Miami 560 WQAM and
11:09
on the Odyssey app back after this.
