Have the Miami Heat Hit Rock Bottom?

WQAM-AM / AM 560 Sports WQAM

Tobin's sigh is heard across the world after witnessing a terrible Miami Heat game... some one hand him the MIB neuralyzer! Have the Heat hit rock bottom? Tobin proposes the Heat rely on their G-League Talent and recruit from Sioux Falls. We revisit the Jimmy Butler better as a 2nd option argument proposed by Leroy.

Transcript

00:00All right, man.

00:10Pretty deep sigh.

00:11How does nobody hit a three-pointer yesterday except for Andrew Wiggins?

00:15That's impossible.

00:16Yeah, it was rough, dude.

00:18Professional basketball players.

00:19It was rough.

00:21How does that happen?

00:24Why?

00:25Why?

00:26Why?

00:27Can it be shot into the sun?

00:31Is it possible?

00:33Just can you mind wipe it from me?

00:37What is that thing that they had at Men in Black?

00:39The Neuralizer?

00:40Yeah.

00:41Dude, you think it was a Neutralizer?

00:42Neuralizer?

00:43Yeah, can you just erase 24-25 Miami Heat basketball from my mind?

00:51Because it hurts.

00:52And I don't know why.

00:54But I sit here, and I watch it every night, and God love Amy Audebert yesterday trying

01:00to give it all positive.

01:01Oh, she tried to be all positive.

01:02She tried so hard to tell Tobes, come on, you're going to be enjoying this basketball.

01:08And then I tuned in last night to FanDuel Sports Sun, and I was just, I had the privilege

01:15of watching the worst game of the season.

01:19Now, mind you, no, I was in person for the Utah Jazz.

01:25I was ass-kicking at home, and you basically, you sent my son to Messi, which is what you

01:31did Miami Heat, and that was bad, Leroy.

01:35But here's the thing.

01:36I still made memories, and it was over by the first quarter.

01:41I knew what was going to happen that night.

01:43I, like a fool, watched last night, and I'm like, but they're only down seven, which might

01:52as well have been 70 with how they were shooting the basketball yesterday.

01:58So when you ask me, Frog Boy, what does, mean?

02:04That's what that means.

02:07I'm tired.

02:09I'm tired, and I'm trying, okay?

02:13I'm sitting here, and I watched this season go straight to hell, and the little things

02:22that I did have, what did I have?

02:25The little morsels, the crumbs, please smell, I want some more.

02:29The measly crumbs that I had was Jovic, dude, and how he has a broken hand, and Kalel Ware,

02:39who may have cut his hand, but if he didn't cut his hand, was just out of spite, not let

02:44back into the fourth quarter.

02:47Either one is terrible, and that's all I have.

02:51Now what do I have?

02:53Slow-mo, Alec Burks, that's what I have.

02:59So when you ask what-

03:00Is there any sport that you want somebody's nickname to be slow-mo?

03:04No.

03:05Not at all.

03:06Not a pitcher?

03:07I have Jaime Jaquez turned into a bench writer.

03:11What happened to him?

03:12I don't know.

03:13I don't know.

03:14Bubble guts.

03:15I don't know what happened to him.

03:17Ever since the bubble guts.

03:18I'm going to start calling him Jaime Jaquez.

03:23Okay, you know what happened to the last person I used?

03:25Remember when the coach called Jimmy James?

03:28James Butler.

03:29Yeah.

03:30How did that guy have a better divorce than we did?

03:35That guy got a better divorce than we did, and I got to watch Jimmy, and Draymond, and

03:40Steph, and you and your best friends, and it's the best organization ever, woo-woo-woo.

03:44Who's ass they kicking tonight?

03:47Who they got?

03:48What are they, five and one since he joined?

03:50Five and one.

03:51He's averaging more free throws than D-Wade in the 06 finals.

03:55Oh my God.

03:56Who do they have?

03:57The Hornets.

03:58Oh God.

03:59Man, look at their upcoming schedule.

04:04They got the Hornets, the Magic, the Sixers, the Knicks, the Nets, the Pistons.

04:13Geez.

04:15So they're going to be like, they're going to be the four seed.

04:17They're going to be like 10 and two.

04:19They don't really have a rough game until they face the Nuggets in mid-March.

04:23And I think the thing that I'm bothered with the most, because I keep staring at this,

04:29and maybe we deserve this.

04:30You know, I was not a nice person, and I admit that, but the Portland Trailblazers, dude.

04:41The Portland mother bleeping Trailblazers, Leroy.

04:45Don't say it.

04:47They are one win away from having the same amount of wins as us.

04:54And that my friends, that my friends is pathetic.

04:59Is that rock bottom?

05:00Oh, dude, we, we, we hit rock bottom and we, and, and, and I said, Hey, send me that jackhammer.

05:10Alex Burks.

05:16I mean, if, if, if I'm Joe Cronin, this is your fault too.

05:21No, no, no, no.

05:21Please don't do that.

05:22No.

05:22Let me tell you why.

05:24Let me tell you why.

05:25Marcos.

05:26Yeah.

05:28Who's the person begging for Terry Roger to be out of the line?

05:32I wasn't begging.

05:33I wasn't begging.

05:34I wasn't begging.

05:35I wasn't begging.

05:36I wasn't begging.

05:38I was not, I was not begging is a strong word.

05:42Begging is a strong word.

05:43Stop it.

05:44I was, I was not begging.

05:46I stop it.

05:47Stop.

05:48That's not true.

05:49Oh my goodness.

05:50I won't allow, I won't allow you to, I won't allow you to paint that I haven't had.

05:54What have you said about Terry?

05:55Where's he stuck?

05:56But I haven't like, I would, what was it like campaigning for him to not play

06:00going from Davion Mitchell to Terry Rose here is like going from a Ferrari to a unicycle.

06:06That's fair.

06:06Okay.

06:07Okay.

06:07That was two days ago.

06:09That was two days ago.

06:10So what do you say?

06:12At what point do I call him to bed?

06:13Did I call the bench him?

06:14So call them a unicycle.

06:17He finger rolled the ball backwards.

06:23He was throwing the alley-oop.

06:30But wait, wait, wait, wait.

06:33So make up your mind.

06:35What?

06:36Because you got the alternative.

06:38Oh, he's terrible.

06:39Right?

06:40So now who do you want?

06:42Would you rather have Terry in there?

06:44I, you know who I want to be honest with you.

06:45I really, and don't make fun of me about this.

06:50I think it's time to call it the Sioux Falls guys.

06:52I think it's time to give Josh Christopher a little world.

06:56Josh, the MVP, MVP of the summer league team.

06:59I think it's time to give Josh Christopher a chance.

07:01Jacob.

07:01I think it's time to give him a chance.

07:04I think it's time to give Keisha Johnson a chance.

07:08I think it's time to give Isaiah Stevens a chance.

07:12Why?

07:14It was great.

07:14Lobs.

07:15You see, nobody can throw a lob to color where anymore.

07:17Oh, my goodness.

07:18They got him all over the place.

07:20A Sioux falls.

07:21I think it's time.

07:22Yeah.

07:22Michael's right.

07:23I think it's time to give Swedish swish swishes, Swede, a chance Leroy.

07:30Because these guys, they stink.

07:32This is in January.

07:33Terry Rozier might be the reason Jimmy wants out.

07:35Never seen the three, three for three.

07:38If he didn't want more detrimental, he didn't want out with Kyle Lowry.

07:41He can't want out with anybody playing now.

07:46That was his boy though.

07:48Still wasn't.

07:49I think he's cool with Terry, but yeah, I definitely think, I definitely

07:53think he got to some games and June was like Terry in with a 10 point lead.

07:57You know, he's on notice when you've lost five to six games in a row.

08:01I would say, what was our text?

08:03That last one was Jerry Rozier in with a 10 point lead.

08:08He's on notice.

08:10And this was again, days ago.

08:12What, what game was that?

08:13It's just two games ago.

08:14Oh, we lost.

08:15Yeah, we did.

08:17You did.

08:18This is also after you called Leroy, uh, Leroy's take a wind sock.

08:22If I'm not mistaken.

08:23Yeah.

08:24Yeah.

08:26Like, I can't like, I don't think you understood what I was saying.

08:30What?

08:31About Jimmy Butler.

08:33I understood what you're saying.

08:34Okay.

08:34I got your take.

08:35Right.

08:36Like I just boxed you in.

08:37That's all.

08:37No, no, no.

08:38Cause here's the deal.

08:41If I took Jimmy Butler and made him a number one on any of the teams contending,

08:51we're going to do the same thing.

08:53You keep arguing about it.

08:55It's really a fact.

08:57It's not though.

08:59It's not like, how can you say it's a fact?

09:01When I have more evidence towards the other ones, your, your

09:03measurement is the championship.

09:04No, you don't.

09:05But your measurement is the championship, right?

09:07So that's it.

09:08My overall question was this.

09:11Can you win a championship with Jimmy Butler as your number one, because

09:15in, in golden state, he's not the number one and he looks more comfortable

09:21just doing 14 to 18 and touching every stat line that can't be a number one.

09:27No, but if it's the number one impact for your, for your number one score

09:32or two, like, what is, is it two?

09:34Is it like, what?

09:35It's not like you make it, you're making it seem like he's Patrick Beverly.

09:38No, I'm not.

09:39No, that's the point you're, you're missing.

09:43I'm not saying he's Patrick Beverly.

09:45I'm saying that the role that he's playing with golden state is more

09:51comfortable to him and helps that team a lot more with him being in that role.

09:58Then if you take him and put him on another team and ask him to be

10:02Steph Curry, because if you look at all these teams that are contending,

10:09they all have a guy who, you know, come hell or high water going to get to 25 to 30.

10:16That's never been, that's never really been Jimmy here.

10:21Although he has done it, but to your argument.

10:24Okay.

10:24Like I'll hear you out on that.

10:26I don't really understand the point of the argument because like, if you were to say

10:29that, then Jason Tatum can't be the number one guy because Jalen Brown was last year.

10:34Well, no, but you can't, but you can't like statistically, no, no, no.

10:39Statistically in their play, in their playoff resume, you can't write one guy

10:45has a one guy statistically is a better scorer than the other guy.

10:49Yes.

10:49If your point is, they have two of those guys though.

10:52So it doesn't matter which one it is.

10:55So you're saying he needs another guy.

10:57Like, sure.

10:58Okay.

10:59That's not on him though.

11:00He has no, but here he has another guy now where he can do the things that he does

11:07best because he doesn't have to rely on scoring aspect of it because somebody can

11:13do that, but everybody does.

11:15Everybody needs another guy, right?

11:17Everybody does.

11:18Like, I don't understand what I'm saying is this.

11:21Yes.

11:21Everybody needs another guy.

11:24Okay.

11:25But most of the guys on other teams are the score and they need an assistant score

11:32or a guy who, if I'm having an off night can also go for 25, who doesn't need that.

11:36I don't really understand why that takes away from what I'm saying is the starting

11:40point.

11:41Okay.

11:42So if I take date, uh, Tatum and, and Brown, okay.

11:47Tatum can go off for 40, right?

11:50But if he has an off night or bad series, Jalen Brown kid, I'm saying that the

11:59player that Jimmy, Jimmy Butler is, he's never going to be that guy like this.

12:04Go ahead.

12:05If you, the way I feel like your argument makes it sound is, is if you switch Jason

12:11Tatum onto the heat, right.

12:13And let's made it Jason Tatum, bam.

12:16And whatever that they have as much of a chance to get to the finals and win a

12:21championship or better chance than Jimmy Butler, because Tatum's a better score.

12:26When I'm telling you in the playoffs, statistically, that's not true.

12:31Jimmy Butler's playoff resume and scoring resume is better than Jason Tatum's.

12:38I'm not even arguing.

12:41I'm just saying the role that Jason Tatum has on that team, which is

12:49coattail writer, by the way, coattail, most important, most important.

12:55So what do you respect me?

12:58Magmon said is right.

13:00KD and Booker got each other in their trash.

13:02Oof.

13:03Yeah.

13:03They got Hooters jokes though.

13:04Yep.

13:06You know what I got?

13:08I got nothing.

13:10Let's say don't be blinded by logo.

13:14Jimmy is a top player.

13:15Um, see, it's hard for me to explain your frustration with Jimmy though.

13:22I get like, it's, it's a regular season thing though.

13:24Like, cause most guys, I understand what your point of it is.

13:27It's like, he's not conventional enough that he can be Shea Gilders,

13:31Alexander, and I can rely on him to give me the production.

13:34If somebody has an all the top teams, I understand what you're saying, but I'm

13:38saying he's weird in that he impacts, he can impact winning in

13:44different ways that other guys don't.

13:46But, and I don't think that takes, but I don't think that takes

13:49away from him being a number one.

13:51I don't think it does.

13:53When you say that and you put that title on somebody, right.

13:58Can they be your number one?

14:03For a playoff run?

14:04There's not many guys that take more than him, dude.

14:06There's not.

14:07Okay.

14:07For now, for a regular season, I get your argument.

14:10I think that's fair.

14:11If you don't like, you know, the regular season does matter.

14:15Stop making it sound like, just get me to the playoffs and then ball out.

14:19That's not how it works.

14:21Because guess what?

14:23Pat Riley got sick and tired of being in a damn play in and where's, I

14:26don't care how much success they had.

14:28And where is he now?

14:30And where is he now?

14:31Okay.

14:31One more win than Joe Cronin.

14:33Oh, okay.

14:34Okay.

14:35But that's, you know.

14:37I good for him.

14:37Like, look, he made a stand and this is why we deserve Cooper flag.

14:42This is why I deserve him.

14:44I deserve something good.

14:46Right.

14:50And to see in a league where more than half of the teams make the

14:53playoffs regular season doesn't matter as much.

14:57It does.

14:58If you put yourself at risk being in a play every year, because anything can

15:03happen in one game, sample size, anything.

15:06The fact that you're in that when, if you're number one, I played five or 10

15:11more games, you wouldn't be in that situation is a hard pill to swallow.

15:15Every damn year.

15:16Yes.

15:16Last year was a hard pill to swallow the year before.

15:19Like, I just feel like it gets, first of all, he played, he played more games

15:22that he played less games the year that they went to the finals than the year

15:28that they did it, that they got bounced.

15:29He played 64 games last year.

15:31Okay.

15:31But again, you can't keep playing with fire like that every year.

15:38The thing is, is that yes.

15:40Didn't say the best.

15:41You're a 500 team.

15:43No matter what, they're not a 500 team.

15:44They're under 500.

15:45No, no, no, no, no, no.

15:46I'm saying with Jimmy, you're a 500 T that's playing with fire.

15:51They were much better last year with them than they are right now.

15:54They were, I'm okay.

15:56Three, four games.

15:57No, 10 dude.

15:58Like they were like six games over 500.

15:59Where did they finish the season?

16:01At 500.

16:03No, they weren't 500.

16:04That would, they were not 41 and 41.

16:06They were 46 and 36 last year.

16:09Yes.

16:10Yes.

16:13I get it.

16:14I understand it.

16:16I'm just sad.

16:17I'm watching.

16:18You're sad.

16:21I really, I'll hug you, buddy.

16:24I'm going to go hug frog boy.

16:26Because I'm just like the season has been miserable.

16:29We're all sad because the season hasn't worked out.

16:33Right.

16:36You asked for that.

16:38You asked for that.
