00:14The heat in spite of Tyler here. I'll give it them 40

00:19They lose 118

00:22113 four game losing streak over

00:25Ofer

00:26Since trading Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors

00:30No, bam on a bio last night. He was out with a knee contusion

00:35after his stellar performance against the Thunder and

00:39Andrew Wiggins is officially a member of the Miami Heat because he got the bubble guts

00:45It's going great

00:47It's going great. It's going great

00:51My happiness isn't in the toilet at all I

00:54Feel fine

00:58Great we'll get a couple months to oh has it I

01:04Imagine you as the the dog in that meme. That's just like

01:16Fire all around them and he's like, it's fine. This is fine

01:20It's fine, this is Anthony Chang for the Miami Herald

01:23He tweets out since the start of January

01:27the heat has the NBA's

01:2924th ranked offensive rating and the 20th ranked defensive rating and the

01:3523rd ranked net rating the heat is 7 and 9 in the year

01:402025 it's fine

01:43It's fine. It's a stupid year. Anyway, who likes 2025, you know

01:48It's a dumb year. I hate it. I

01:51Didn't want to be good this season

01:53Should we tank should we tank people are saying Margo says capture the flag or drag for flag?

01:58TC from kiss country's been talking tank since week two of the season. I'll give him credit

02:03We he's been stopped me in the hallway and he's like, hey

02:07He I can say he called it, you know what

02:11Me well, no, I would actually say that would make you a basketball savant

02:15Wow, if anything if you call it a fig you don't get to be called a bush that calls you, correct

02:27You talk to him about

02:31That's what I'm switching it to sandbag for flag

02:36Here's the problem and here's why you can't really do that in basketball

02:42You can still end up with the eighth pick oh

02:48Good draft though. Everybody's saying it's a good draft. Now. Here's the problem at the draft. Okay, here's the problem with the draft. Yeah

02:56It's spoken I want to play him I don't even know like is he's over six five is he gonna play him like

03:03You think suppose this is where it goes back to Margo's where it's like, hey

03:07Let's say the heat season does let's just say they tank

03:11Let's say they suck because by the way, they're a bam ankle twist away from being it, you know incapable of getting through games

03:17So let's just say it goes in the toilet for him

03:21What is the direction of the heat organization has Jimmy left us like the Joker in the nurse outfit?

03:27Because where do they go Pat Riley? I would thought he was gonna retire

03:30Anyway going into this year when I saw this Lakers statue stuff. He's 80. He's gonna be 80 next month

03:37If this

03:38I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of clearing of the mechanism and getting themselves in the right state of mind that cool

03:43but let's just say it does end up in ping-pong balls and

03:47Spoh

03:48It's not the biggest fan of coaching the youth. That's just the facts Jack. He's not

03:54He likes who does he like coaching the old that's who he likes coaching. Yeah, the old and when a young guy

04:01He's like, oh you're a young guy, but you played four years and you're like it too

04:05I could tolerate a 25 year old. Come on hop aboard

04:10So I'm just looking at this I'm like

04:12Are the heat going to be at this absolute pivot point if this goes into disaster?

04:17I mean, there's there's a chance

04:18I got two first-round picks if they don't make the playoffs, which they probably will

04:21Well, I guess they could blow to the play-in game if they do miss the playoffs and the Warriors make the playoffs

04:28That's two first-round picks. Yeah

04:31No, but still I know

04:35No, you said in the bed

04:38The heat don't do that. Well, they don't try to do it and they have and let's be fair

04:45their first round picks

04:48have been

04:49Pretty good. Yep. So if they don't have a lottery pick

04:56I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they still gonna get a good player. Well, they don't have a lottery pick though

05:01Well, here's a here's a scenario Leroy non lottery pick their pick goes to okay see

05:08If the Warriors miss the playoffs, so here's there to be if the Warriors don't make the playoffs and the heat

05:17Do make you play off?

05:19No pits

05:22Wait, I think it has to be the top 10 Warriors. Yeah, if the Warriors don't make the playoffs and

05:28Their ping-pong balls end up in the top 10 they get to keep their pick until next year if the heat make the playoffs

05:35then

05:37Pick goes to okay. See

05:40however, if the heat missed the playoffs and

05:44Are in the lottery keep their pick and the Warriors go to the playoffs. They get the Warriors pick

05:50This is so depressing, let's hear from Tyler hero. He's an all-star. He did have a good game yesterday

05:56I don't know what's going on with this three-point shot lately, though

05:58We need to put some like witchcraft on that or something

06:00He's getting you know, what the one thing with him though is like, you know

06:04It's almost like they look like don't don't let them trick you Tyler. You keep going to that basket. You were killing it yesterday

06:11Anyway, here's him saying we've fallen short this past week. We need to sustain our momentum

06:16Yeah, I mean it's part of the game, you know, it's a

06:20Weird part of the season right now. Obviously, we just made a trade

06:24some guys

06:26You know that we lean on or you know dealing with illness. You really can't control that

06:31I think you know our disposition and the way we came out

06:36Could have been better just our energy and effort

06:39I thought we could have gave a little bit more of a push and a little bit more of a push

06:45I thought we could have gave a little bit more on both sides of the ball, especially defensively

06:50Yeah, I feel like that's kind of been the case, you know the last week or so that we fell short Chicago Brooklyn

06:59Okay, see and then tonight so all games that we had ourselves put ourselves in a position to win

07:06And then there's small pockets throughout the game. We're not

07:09you know giving our effort lack of

07:12attention to detail lacks and

07:15You know, you see we're in the games and then we lose by three or four or whatever it may be

07:19but we're there and we just got to figure out how we can sustain a 48-minute game so that

07:25We can win these games

07:27Yeah, the only game they've won in their last six has been that game against the Sixers who are maybe the only team

07:33That's a bigger disappointment than the heat

07:35pretty much

07:39Tyler also was asked how do they turn things around Tyler? How do you do that?

07:45You

07:48Think that step is to sustain what's what's the next step to turn this thing around?

07:53I

07:55Think I mean, I don't have the answer. I don't know. Otherwise we would do it, right?

07:59Um, I think you know, but continuing to stick with you know our habits, you know

08:05We're a young team relying on a lot of young guys to come in and contribute and we're really relying on them to produce

08:11So I think and I know too as a young guy and even still to this point

08:16It's not the easiest to come in every single night and give

08:19Consistent effort consistent energy and being consistent on both sides of the ball and reliable as a young guy. It's not easy in this league

08:27So it's just part of it. We'll continue to grow keep going

08:41All-star

08:48Last time we seen a 40-point game

08:52Last time they lost

08:55Congratulations to Tyler here for putting up for you against the Sioux Falls Dallas Mavericks

09:03Here's what I would say

09:07They always put it around effort and whatever

09:11But what that's got to do with the 8 or 12 points or getting beat by 20 and a quarter every game

09:22Stole McGriff says man when Tobin lashes out. It's harsh feel bad for you, bro. It is it's not fair

09:2940 and you're you're attacking him. I'm not attacking him. He's answering questions. He's answering questions

09:36You gotta take the criticism sometimes that's it

09:40That's it, but BAM's the face of the franchise he didn't play last night

09:43Is he had a booboo on his nose so you can just pass that on to somebody else?

09:47He said a stupid I killed him this week too for a stupid answer

09:51His stupid answer this week. What did he say? He said something really dumb. Oh, yeah

09:55He was like, why did we lose to the Celtics positive? We only had four turros. I was like wrong wrong answer

10:03Sometimes these guys

10:05You can say anything you could say the dumbest you could say easy cliches one game at a time

10:11But then you say things and I'm just like no wrong

10:14wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong

10:17And then I got dream on green

10:25What does that guy get rewarded

10:27Sure, he's a bad guy shouldn't happen that way

10:31Feel like you need a big hug this week. They didn't even watch Jimmy Butler

10:36You got desperate and lucky

10:40Why didn't you get me Kevin Durant Pat?

10:45Can I have any kind of aid on this you guys keep kicking the can

10:52Amen we're back at Tobin yelling in the direction of Kaseya Center again

11:00Reportedly and now what you're gonna be in this

11:12Fat Riley's making those

11:18And on the day of love Tobin lashing out

11:22My heart is broken. You need this all-star break just as much as the heat

11:27Yeah, well here is a Tyler hero saying the break is gonna be important for them, yeah, it's gonna be very important

11:32I think obviously everyone needs time away. Enjoy the breaks, you know, take care of their bodies

11:38But I think we need to get healthy

11:41Which for the most part we've been this year for the guys has been available, but you know, just getting everyone

11:46You know after making that trade just getting everyone together

11:49spending time with each other

11:52And yeah, we'll be all right

11:56Saying that for three years

11:59Not all right

12:02Don't let them depress you Leroy it's I feel it's I think it's you know, it's not it's not even them I can accept

12:12What they're saying

12:14But that still don't do nothing for the eight point quarters or the

12:19ten point quarters and the one quarter in every game where

12:24Nobody realizes we getting our ass kicked right now

12:28Just does anybody want to just just fix it? Like does anybody want to do it? It's right here for the taken

12:35I'm not asking to beat anybody good. You know, I would have been nice to beat the Thunder. That's cool

12:41those Mavericks

12:45You lost to a bulls guy who would 10 for 10 against you don't think he scored since

12:52What's the deal with everybody who sucks lighting your asses up remember Nick Batum

12:59Batum last year and I was like, he's still in the league

13:04That's like that that wide receiver from Middle Tennessee State. Yeah, they're 200 yards receiving and finished a year with 320

13:13Mattis bazoolos bazooka gum, whatever the hell his name was

13:1710 for 10 against the Heat

13:22You

13:28So, sorry

13:32We're gonna fix it though, they're gonna turn it around they're gonna fix it, you know the great news about this is Tobin. Yep

13:39When we hear from you again, they would not have played any games. So

13:45Gives you some time to

13:47Based on how Tyler here is going to refocus and

13:52You know, it's gonna be things will be matter

13:55he's gonna win the three-point contest and

13:58Then here's what he's gonna do. I guarantee this is gonna be Tyler here

14:01He's gonna clean the first rack and then he won't hit another shot

14:07Cuz that's how the he are

14:09They'll get your hopes up or he'll go on to the finals and then it'll be like

14:17I know what happened. He got heated

14:22You made it a verb now the thing here it comes

14:31You're a negative Nancy, dude

14:33What do you mean dude?

14:36You're scarred by this Miami Heat team and I'm telling you you need this all-star break, dude. I

14:42Don't doubt that. You know, maybe I'll go I'll snorkel a little this way this weekend

14:46You know, maybe I'll you know, maybe I'll maybe I won't come back. I'll go down to the ocean and I won't come back

15:04Did you see that video the of the kayaker in Chile

15:09That was crazy

15:12But I'm gonna look in that water and be like look at these parrotfish

15:15So peaceful look at the rats ass about net rating

15:22Please watch out for this way if you see this man in the ocean

15:36Oh my god, I'm looking at that kayaker get swallowed. Yeah

15:57Why would you kayak so far into the ocean like that?

16:01There's a bay

16:06Right, so he's really not that far out away from the boat kayak on the boats

16:15The boat is the kayak, okay. Okay. That's that makes sense. That makes a lot of sense

16:22No, okay. I love kayaking and I wouldn't do that. Oh, yeah, I don't see the need to sit in a boat

16:29with a or in

16:31It's very peaceful
