00:00
Go ahead.
00:04
Do your thing.
00:06
Oh my God.
00:08
I feel like it was better like on Friday.
00:12
It feels like it starts very strong, but it peters out.
00:16
When he talks.
00:17
When he talks.
00:19
So he does the hand.
00:21
Like, no.
00:23
Too much.
00:24
Am I doing too much?
00:26
At one point, it sounded good.
00:27
Oh my God.
00:31
Welcome back, everybody.
00:32
Tobin and Leroy here with you.
00:34
Hey, we got a country artist.
00:35
Lee Bryce is coming to War Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale in September.
00:40
And we got your chance to win some tickets.
00:43
Just keep on listening to our show.
00:44
We'll give away those tickets to Lee Bryce.
00:46
This is a live nation show.
00:50
Bryce.
00:51
I'm going to ask your opinion.
00:53
I've heard some of his stuff.
00:55
All right.
00:56
For the show's sake.
00:57
He's great.
00:58
You're going to want these tickets.
00:59
I know rumor.
01:00
There's a rumor going around.
01:03
You know, we're going to come back with some Lee Bryce today.
01:07
Where's the rumor going around?
01:09
It's like Godfather.
01:10
I don't understand.
01:14
Yeah.
01:15
Lee Bryce sounds like a closer.
01:17
I'm hard to love.
01:18
I made him Bruce Springsteen.
01:23
I've heard some of his stuff.
01:24
He's good.
01:25
He's good.
01:25
That Lee Bryce.
01:25
He's good.
01:26
He's good.
01:26
You know who's coming to War Memorial who I want to go see?
01:28
Shaboozy.
01:29
I want to go see him.
01:29
I didn't see him at Tortuga.
01:30
I want to see him at War Memorial.
01:31
He seems like a nice guy.
01:33
Does he?
01:33
Every time I've seen him.
01:34
I like his music.
01:35
Yeah.
01:36
He's good.
01:36
He seems like a nice guy.
01:38
That's what I'm talking about.
01:39
So, yeah.
01:40
So, Friday, Pat Riley spoke to the media.
01:43
Had his press conference.
01:44
Hey.
01:44
Oof.
01:45
Kind of took the blame off of me, by the way.
01:47
Can I just say this?
01:49
What?
01:52
It's a shame.
01:53
Can I just say our listeners are the worst?
01:56
What do you mean?
01:57
They wasn't listening to see what Pat Riley had to say.
02:02
They were listening to make sure the saboteur wasn't in there ruining the franchise.
02:07
It's saboteuring, dude.
02:08
And he basically said that when you didn't say nothing, they called you chicken.
02:15
I did say something.
02:17
I got in there.
02:18
All right.
02:19
He told his critics to go to hell, basically.
02:22
That was the answer to my question.
02:24
But he did start the Brexit conference because he was asked right off the bat about the Jimmy thing.
02:28
And he goes, apologize?
02:30
I'm not apologizing.
02:31
I'm not apologizing for nothing.
02:34
Nothing, dude.
02:35
Did you hear that and go, exactly?
02:37
I don't know.
02:38
I thought it.
02:41
Because if he would have said, if he would have said, I asked some regrets.
02:44
And I was like, damn.
02:46
But now that he has no regrets after a year, that means I'm off the hook.
02:50
No.
02:51
So here's the problem.
02:53
Okay.
02:55
You're not off the hook if you got the wheels in motion.
02:59
What?
03:00
It was your question that got Pat in the frame of mind to not give a bleep.
03:06
That's not fair.
03:07
That he was done.
03:08
Oh, no.
03:09
That's not fair.
03:10
Okay.
03:11
Did he just say, Jimmy needs to shut it?
03:15
Or did you ask a question that got him to say that?
03:19
That got him fired up?
03:22
Look.
03:23
No, no, no.
03:23
Answer the question.
03:25
And then you can move forward.
03:26
I asked a question.
03:27
But my question had nothing to do with the reason why Jimmy Butler left.
03:32
You mentioned his name.
03:33
You said Jimmy said.
03:35
What do you mean?
03:36
Jimmy said.
03:37
I'm sorry.
03:38
He's the star player.
03:39
Am I not allowed to ask about the star player?
03:42
Okay.
03:42
I don't understand.
03:46
Yeah.
03:46
That's right, Dave South.
03:48
It's like applauding BP for cleaning up the oil spill.
03:51
No.
03:51
It's just.
03:52
It would be like.
03:53
But not blaming him for the oil spill.
03:55
No.
03:55
But it would be like.
03:56
It would like BP being like.
03:57
Hey, guess what?
03:58
That oil spill.
03:58
That wasn't on us.
03:59
You know.
04:00
Like.
04:01
Something just randomly happened.
04:03
That was going to happen.
04:04
No.
04:04
No.
04:05
No.
04:05
That's what you're doing.
04:07
No.
04:07
Nothing was going to happen.
04:09
I'm telling you right now.
04:10
Were those comments.
04:12
Going to happen.
04:13
Whether you ask the question or not.
04:16
Yes.
04:16
Because Pat Riley is going to say what Pat Riley wants to say.
04:18
Because he's a grown man.
04:20
But you.
04:20
You lit the.
04:21
Lit the match.
04:22
I don't appreciate that.
04:23
Okay.
04:23
You sat there.
04:25
Challenged Jimmy Butler to play more games.
04:27
To maybe watch what he says.
04:29
And concentrate on winning.
04:31
After that.
04:32
In December.
04:32
You issued a statement saying.
04:33
Jimmy Butler.
04:34
Would not be traded.
04:35
You suspended him three times after that.
04:38
And your very players.
04:39
Who sat there just a week ago.
04:40
Said that greatly impacted their season.
04:43
One.
04:44
Your thoughts on how you approached it.
04:46
Both a year ago.
04:48
How you approached it during the season.
04:50
And how much of an impact.
04:51
Do you think that overall had.
04:53
On the direction.
04:54
And the type of season.
04:55
We're coming off of.
04:56
I don't think what I said.
04:58
You know.
04:59
Last year really was.
05:01
Relevant.
05:02
I simply said.
05:03
Softly no.
05:05
And.
05:06
And.
05:07
And.
05:08
I'm a person.
05:10
That.
05:12
In all the teams that I did coach.
05:14
When you lose.
05:15
You take your loss.
05:16
And you go home.
05:17
And you're quiet.
05:19
You know.
05:20
But there wasn't trolling back in that day.
05:22
You know.
05:23
So.
05:24
There's no doubt that what happened with.
05:26
With Jimmy.
05:27
Had.
05:28
A tremendous.
05:30
Impact.
05:31
On our team.
05:32
There's no doubt about it.
05:33
So.
05:33
The buck stops with me.
05:35
I'll take that hit.
05:36
If you want it.
05:37
What happened during the regular season.
05:39
I don't want to really discuss.
05:42
That's it.
05:43
So.
05:44
Not relevant.
05:46
Not relevant.
05:47
I'm out.
05:48
I'm free.
05:49
Wait.
05:49
So now.
05:50
Hold on.
05:51
Awful.
05:52
You weed through coach talk.
05:54
And GM talk all the time.
05:56
And now you're going to take him for his word.
05:58
Because it.
05:59
Vindicates you.
06:01
Not so fast.
06:02
No.
06:02
Absolutely.
06:03
That's what he said.
06:04
He's trying to be nice.
06:06
I don't know.
06:06
Understand.
06:07
Like.
06:07
Why do I have to take.
06:08
Continue to take the blame for something.
06:10
That he.
06:10
Said.
06:11
Had no relevance on it.
06:12
Because she's right.
06:14
You started.
06:16
The back and forth between Jimmy and Pat.
06:19
I don't appreciate it.
06:20
By running.
06:21
When you.
06:21
When Jimmy said something.
06:23
By running to Pat.
06:25
And reporting.
06:27
Like a little thing.
06:29
First of all.
06:29
I don't.
06:30
I don't run.
06:30
Jimmy said.
06:31
Jimmy said.
06:31
Okay.
06:32
First of all.
06:32
I don't run anywhere.
06:34
Second of all.
06:35
Second of all.
06:36
It had to be asked.
06:37
And it wasn't really about what Jimmy said.
06:39
It was.
06:39
Hey.
06:39
Your roster.
06:40
Isn't there with Boston.
06:41
With Jimmy.
06:42
Without Jimmy.
06:43
You.
06:43
You could have asked that.
06:45
I did ask that.
06:46
It's literally what I asked.
06:48
It's literally what I asked.
06:49
All I opened it with.
06:51
Was saying.
06:51
Jimmy.
06:52
His opinion is.
06:53
If he played.
06:54
Boston would be home.
06:55
Pat.
06:55
If Jimmy played.
06:57
Do you believe that?
06:59
And he said.
07:01
Jimmy.
07:01
Needs to shut it.
07:03
Because.
07:04
My question.
07:04
Lost.
07:05
Okay.
07:05
But my question was relevant.
07:07
Yeah.
07:08
Relevant to the breakup of the team.
07:11
By the way.
07:12
You see.
07:12
Do you want to get swallowed up by Rudy Gobert.
07:14
Those last eight minutes.
07:15
Swallowed.
07:16
I see him score.
07:17
Hey.
07:17
Hey.
07:18
Three points though.
07:19
Jimmy.
07:19
You would have paid that guy 60.
07:21
You know what they call him.
07:22
What do they call him.
07:23
They call him.
07:24
Three and a half quarters.
07:25
Jimbo.
07:26
I've heard that.
07:26
So my question is this.
07:29
Depending on the outcome of this series.
07:34
Does it make Pat right?
07:36
Yeah.
07:36
About why he wouldn't extend him.
07:38
I mean.
07:38
And so if it makes Pat right.
07:41
Mm-hmm.
07:41
It makes you 100% wrong.
07:43
Because you would have gave Jimmy the 60 million.
07:46
I would have given Jimmy the bottle of the 60 million.
07:48
Right.
07:48
And you would have been wrong.
07:50
Maybe.
07:50
No.
07:51
It's not.
07:52
Maybe.
07:53
Oh my goodness.
07:54
Take the L.
07:55
Well.
07:56
You don't take the L.
07:57
Because I got let off the hook.
07:58
And you're still blaming me.
08:00
You didn't get let off the hook.
08:01
Maybe if you take your own advice.
08:02
Maybe I'll follow suit.
08:03
You didn't get let off the hook.
08:04
You got let off the hook.
08:05
Dude.
08:05
I got let off the hook.
08:07
Pat Riley is not blaming me.
08:09
Because Pat Riley.
08:09
Look.
08:10
And if that is to your case.
08:11
Pat Riley is like.
08:11
You know.
08:11
I wanted him out.
08:13
No.
08:14
I'm not going to apologize for saying no.
08:17
On a contract extension.
08:18
When we didn't have to.
08:20
And I don't think I should.
08:22
And I will always say that to the players.
08:26
If I was coaching.
08:28
You know.
08:28
Keep your mouth shut.
08:30
I'll see you next training camp.
08:32
And you get it back.
08:33
You know.
08:33
On the court.
08:34
But it's different today with players.
08:35
So anyhow.
08:36
That's.
08:37
That's what I want to talk about.
08:40
With Jimmy.
08:41
I've been through.
08:44
Those kinds of situations before.
08:46
Even with this team.
08:48
A couple times.
08:50
And so it's over.
08:52
He's done.
08:53
I wish him well.
08:54
Good luck to him.
08:55
And I hope deep down in his heart somewhere.
08:58
He wishes us well too.
09:00
Nope.
09:02
Nope.
09:03
Pat.
09:04
Pat.
09:05
Deep down.
09:06
You got to get all the way down to the guts.
09:09
To see.
09:10
You're not just.
09:12
Piercing the skin a little bit.
09:13
Yep.
09:14
Yeah.
09:34
Yeah.
09:35
Yeah.
