00:00
The Heat will visit Chicago in the first game in the Eastern Conference.
00:05
Heat head coach Eric Spolstra, of course, they've been in this spot a lot the last five years since they started the play-in tournament,
00:12
giving you what you need in a one-and-done game.
00:14
I hope so. I mean, it makes you feel alive. That's for damn sure.
00:18
You know, anything that just raises the stakes.
00:22
Again, you know, I've mentioned that our locker room doesn't feel this way, but, you know,
00:26
certainly on the outside you can think, oh, this is the 9 playing 10.
00:32
What does that mean? Well, it means a lot.
00:36
We have an opportunity, you know, to get a win, get us closer to another game,
00:41
you know, to ideally get another win to get in this party.
00:46
But it's going to be competitive, and, you know, that's what I'm looking forward to see,
00:50
to see if it can bring out a higher level, and that's what I expect.
00:54
Look, I think they can win. I don't think they can win twice.
01:00
I don't. I think their season has been a nightmare because of Jimmy Butler.
01:07
It's that simple. There's nothing else to say.
01:09
And, look, I don't think that the rest of them, including Hero, Sandwich, or Bam,
01:13
picked up the pieces and cleaned up the floor enough.
01:17
I think there was still some glass on the floor.
01:19
He shattered glass all over their season, and I think there's still some glass on the floor.
01:23
And I think it's going to be their undoing. I really do.
01:27
But we'll see. Let's see if they can win tonight,
01:29
and then I'll start believing that they might have a shot on Friday night.
01:34
They have to win two just to get in.
01:36
So, you know, that's the downside.
01:38
Nobody wants to talk about this 9-10.
01:41
You have to win two.
01:44
If you would have won the seven, you're already in.
01:46
Those two teams last night are in.
01:48
Dubs are in. Magic are in.
01:50
And these other teams all have to – now it's one and done for all of them.
01:55
So, there's a lot of stress involved in it, too.
01:57
And I think teams that have struggled and had problems and chaos,
02:01
usually it catches up with them, I think.
02:04
Well, forget about winning two.
02:07
I don't think they're going to win one.
02:08
Bulls minus one and a half tonight in Chicago.
02:12
220 and a half is the total.
02:13
I like the Bulls.
02:14
I think they're going to beat them.
02:15
So do I.
02:18
Very simple and to the point there for Chicago.
02:22
And I think that Chicago can beat Atlanta on Friday night.
02:25
I'm with you.
02:26
I don't think Miami can win both games.
02:29
I think Chicago can.
02:30
I think Chicago could go in and beat them on Friday.
02:32
I think Chicago has three guys that can score a lot.
02:37
And I don't think Atlanta has that.
02:42
Now, look, Chris LaVerne is capable.
02:45
I mean, I saw him last night making some pretty good plays.
02:48
But let's calm down here.
02:50
It's ice, Trey, or nothing for me.
02:51
It's ice, Trey.

03:05
It's ice, Trey.
03:06
It's ice, Trey.
03:07
It's ice, Trey.
03:08
It's ice, Trey.
03:09
It's ice, Trey.
03:10
It's ice, Trey.
