01:33us back.

01:33Huh?

01:34I thought that Terry Rozier should have gotten it and one.

01:37Yeah, I thought that was I didn't think that was an offensive

01:39foul.

01:40I thought suppose should have challenged that I mean, you

01:44know, sport wants to take those home with him.

01:48I guess so, right?

01:49Like he's like looking at the bench.

01:50I'm like smoke.

01:51You're down 12.

01:52Why not?

01:52Just you know, I don't understand this.

01:55We have one coach who coaches football.

01:57He can't wait to be wrong at challenges and we have one coach

02:00who doesn't even want to try.

02:02You know, Paul Maurice.

02:04That's who I trust.

02:05Oh, that's a man who can challenge.

02:07Yeah, that's a man.

02:09Why is Ricardo calling back Ricardo?

02:10What is a lot of points?

02:13Toads gang.

02:14I'm back.

02:15Hey, hey man.

02:16I sorry.

02:17I had to had to get back in here because I didn't get to say

02:22everything I wanted to say because the comment section was

02:27out here saying that I was day drinking for what I was saying.

02:31Oh, wow.

02:32So where are you?

02:33Yeah, pretty.

02:34Are you day drinking?

02:36No, no, absolutely not.

02:38Okay, but I'm saying this my heart is my heart is in the

02:41right place.

02:42Okay, I love Jimmy Butler.

02:47I love Jimmy taking a he's taking us too far and with with such

02:52little pieces around him that we essentially as an organization.

02:56I feel like we're letting them down to a degree as well, regardless

02:59of what's going on.

03:01But ultimately I do think that it's it's just a matter of like

03:12just figuring it out.

03:13This guy's all right.

03:15He's definitely day drinking is totally drunk.

03:18Great and do better than that.

03:19Please.

03:19Great.

03:22Great.

03:23I guess he can't so far.

03:24So good.

03:25I guess he can't do better than that.

03:27He come back.

03:28I thought he was going to add some points not explain.

03:31He's not doing.

03:31Hey, buddy.

03:32You not doing a radio show.

03:33You can't explain your takes.

03:35He was day.

03:36You don't get to come back.

03:37Yeah, it's our fault for putting his ass on Jay.

03:42What's up, Jay?

03:45Hello, Jay.

03:48All right, great.

03:49Everybody's paying attention today.

03:50Maybe.

03:51Hello.

03:52Hey, it's only right radio professional.

03:55He knows how to get on the air.

03:57What's up, Smitty?

03:59Live in the American dream.

04:01Are you excited for your jazz to come into town on Saturday?

04:05No, I'm going to be excited when my heat come out here.

04:11That's true.

04:12They're both at the same time.

04:15Back to back.

04:16I got and I got my old, my very old hockey stick ticket from the

04:21very first game.

04:22I'm hoping I can get some players to sign it.

04:25That's pretty awesome.

04:25It's many.

04:26All right.

04:26How you feeling about this?

04:27All do anything question?

04:28Yep.

04:29We got to understand one thing people and one caller said it.

04:33This is a business.

04:34Jimmy's at a certain age.

04:36And before I go anywhere else, Jimmy, I love you.

04:38I think you're a great player.

04:40You've done real good over here.

04:42It's a business.

04:43You're 36 years old.

04:44I understand Riley, but also Riley.

04:47What have you done lately?

04:49Some, I don't know if people run, he just hasn't done it.

04:52What have you brought?

04:53You didn't bring Jimmy any pieces really that he needed.

04:56We never been able to do that.

04:58And I think it's a playing game on both sides where Jimmy's

05:02done.

05:03There's no reconciling over here and you're killing the locker

05:07room right now.

05:07The locker room when we had that fight the other day that brought

05:11the team close.

05:12I agree.

05:12You brought Jimmy back.

05:14I thought I thought visor gonna be high after that.

05:17There you step.

05:18Thank you very much.

05:19You're correct.

05:19But then you brought Jimmy back.

05:21You messed it up again and spoke.

05:23I don't know what you're doing.

05:24You're in like La La Land when that fight was going on.

05:27I thought you saw you standing on the sidelines.

05:29Dude, get your butt in there.

05:31Do what was that one guy with the Knicks?

05:34You want to go in like Van Gundy?

05:36Yeah, but you know, I he's made a lot of mistakes.

05:42It's here and I really I just just a couple games.

05:46Please a couple games.

05:48Start.

05:49We're at Center.

05:50Put them at Power Pro.

05:52Just try for a couple of games already.

05:54Maybe put them a small forward and put Nico power forward.

05:57You know what I'm saying, baby?

05:58Tall talk.

06:02You know what you can.

06:03I don't know what to.

06:07Say about how I don't really think there's anything I can say

06:10about the way suppose handling because his job is to coach

06:19basketball.

06:19And when your best player won't play, it puts him in a tough

06:23spot.

06:23I know what's supposed to do suppose gonna.

06:25I mean if suppose gonna be like if he really thinks this is

06:28what Jimmy's gonna do.

06:28He's gonna bench him.

06:29He won't.

06:30He won't.

06:31He won't play him if like if that's what it comes down to

06:34that dude has done that.

06:35He's frozen out guys with big contracts before.

06:37Yeah, he doesn't care.

06:38I mean, remember who was it?

06:41White side got that big old snitch and it was coming off the

06:44bench, right?

06:45White side and I'm mind you guys.

06:47I'm not comparing what I've done.

06:52I agree.

06:52I love what Jimmy has done.

06:54I I'm the idiot.

06:55I'm the one who wants to spend Monopoly money till just to

06:57make him happy.

06:58That's but part but by just want to be clear part of it was

07:01because I knew this was gonna happen.

07:02Like this was this was this was part of the thing.

07:05Like if you didn't think this was going to be inevitable, if

07:09the heat thought that that Jimmy Butler wasn't going to go

07:14to Butler, maybe the talks were going to be good because Jimmy

07:16thought eventually he'd get somewhere.

07:18He wants to be but for them to not realize that Pat really

07:22not to think that this was a possibility by not paying them

07:25whether you agree or not.

07:26I mean, that's just that that's just naive on their part.

07:30Here's the problem.

07:30I have with you what you're saying if people didn't expect

07:34Jimmy Butler to be Jimmy Butler.

07:36Yeah, but but that but those people we have we have more.

07:43Of an idea of what the hell Pat Riley is.

07:47Right there was hope but here's the hope that maybe Jimmy

07:51was going to do the things he said he was going to do.

07:54Okay, that's really that's where the way I know Pat Riley

07:57was going to change.

07:58Yeah, but that's an organizational arrogance, right?

08:00Isn't that that's that's the blind spot on their part of

08:02thinking.

08:03Oh, but we're the heat and we've done good things and we're

08:05like at some point you guys had to realize like, hey, it's

08:10not it's still going to be business.

08:11He's not going to get Dwayne waited.

08:13He's not going to allow you to just be like, all right, I

08:16guess it's over, you know, maybe you thought maybe you

08:19thought maybe they have a rule or maybe they were not giving

08:23an extension to 35 year old.

08:25Okay, that's fine.

08:26But but if that's the case then they should have they should

08:29have realized that disaster was going to strike at some point

08:33and did and and be ahead of the game and do right.

08:36Okay, that's what Pat Riley meant.

08:38That's what Pat Riley meant, right?

08:40Right.

08:40I mean other than also maybe he's mad.

08:42He maybe he's mad that he listened to Jimmy.

08:45Maybe with the way Jimu's song before season started, maybe

08:49he's mad at that because you know, guess what?

08:52You probably should have known something was up when he came

08:55to media day late.

08:57Probably so think about it.

08:59Probably think about how these things are starting to play

09:02out and now you're going back and trying to tie them all

09:04together.

09:07Plane got delayed.

09:08Really?

09:09It's your own plane.

09:10Shouldn't have known something when he showed up looking

09:12like the Joker last night.

09:15Molotov cocktail onto the onto the court.

09:17You refuse to say looking like the Celtics.

09:20Jimmy, how would you describe how you thought?

09:23Hey, that could have been that to another great another

09:25great hold off.

09:26He did come looking like the Celtics how you felt about

09:28your performance and focus tonight felt great.

09:31I feel like I was focused.

09:34I feel like I did my job or what at least my job is now

09:38when you say what your job is now, we're sort of not used

09:41to see you standing in the corner for extended periods

09:44like that.

09:44Is that a change in the team approach that is cast you

09:47that way and for you to be your best version of yourself

09:51can that be your role and you Thrive to the best of your

09:54ability?

09:55It can be my role here.

09:58But I mean, that's that's not what I'm used to to being

10:02I haven't been that since I don't know my first second

10:04third year in the league where I just went out there and

10:07play defense, but I competed I guarded I try not to let

10:11my man score, but that's what I'm doing now.

10:15Well coach was in here saying he wants to get you more

10:17on the point and get you more activated.

10:19So is that something that you're amenable to and is that

10:22something that might be necessary to get you back

10:24closer to the top of your game and your form that ain't

10:28going to fix it.

10:31We'll get more from Jimmy Butler, but that was a a a now

10:37Ira you my guy you you you go in there and you try to use

10:46the big words and and and all that and but did you listen

10:51to what Jimmy said?

10:54That ain't gonna fix it.

10:57You should immediately said.

10:58So what's the issue?

11:00We'll get to more Jimmy Butler.

11:02We got to take a break.

11:03Obviously.

11:05Lots to come here.

11:06We're streaming live YouTube and Twitch Miami 560 WQAM and

11:09on the Odyssey app back after this.
