getting over to uh the heat so the heat had summer league yesterday they uh they finished
00:05
off the california classic with a win over the warriors and uh really good performances by pella
00:11
really good performances by key shot johnson i gotta be honest with you the weirdest
00:16
heat twitter take has been
00:18
well why does key shot johnson have a standard contract i'm like what that's what we're doing
00:28
because he because uh he's not getting the you know you guys know he's a power forward like what
00:33
do you think he should be getting all the shots like how much do you think he should be putting
00:36
up and that dude had a third quarter because the thing that's cool with key shot is he's from the
00:41
bay area and this has happened now two years in a row so he's like the only guy who has fans in the
00:46
building they'll let his family but his family is like dozens of people who are coming to see key
00:52
shot johnson and he he had he looked like no joke yesterday key shot johnson looked like summer
01:00
league lebron and pella larson looked like summer summer league d wade like they were
01:05
key shot johnson had a tomahawk slam and then a chase down block i was like this he's so athletic
01:13
and so fun i love watching him play heat fans who don't like key shot johnson i am not fans of
01:18
because i don't understand you he's so much fun so why doesn't he have a contract he does have a
01:25
contract let's get this man dude that's a fair question there's got i'm gonna tell you there's
01:32
got to be a couple guys looking there's two guys i think got to be looking at summer league and see
01:36
those two guys the way they're playing and be like minutes i would say like heywood r smith
01:41
oh and highway hawkers jr gotta be like i mean like this is all fun and we all get excited about
01:52
some of the guys we see and then the season starts and they're sitting i can't sit bella larson you
01:58
can't he's too good no i know but he he's one of the guys that his energy his but but that's
02:04
that's not a starter he's not a starter so he's not a starter but he needs minutes so from that
02:11
standpoint that's you know that second wave coming in dc curry goes rookie a bust look after two
02:17
come on man listen to me what are we doing already you treat okay it putrid is not inaccurate but a bit
02:26
strong all right wait let me let me ask you a question i use you marcos yep how long you been working
02:33
here five years and use that term loosely yeah appreciate that um and let me ask you yes did you
02:45
have to do training when you first got here did you do training i don't think so i think we just
02:51
threw him to the wolves yeah but you needed help figuring out where everything was and how to go
02:56
about and how to do things and stuff like that right yes yes i did and and how long did that take
03:02
a few days a few days right so this guy's been saying wait wait wait this guy been in the nba for
03:09
two summer league games yeah three summer league games yep yep like so is he supposed to be let me
03:16
ask you something is supposed to be jason kid right away no not at all okay so why are you like
03:22
anybody who calls somebody this quick a bust does not know what the hell they're talking about but uh he
03:28
doesn't have to be jason kid but he's also doesn't have to be ace and kid because no jay on that guy
03:33
he is not he is uh he's one for fit he's one he's one for 15 in the summer league one but here's the
03:39
deal come on now what was the knock on him when they drafted him couldn't you okay but even like he's
03:45
can he get a summer to work on his game he had eight personal fouls yesterday now that
03:50
that's more points it's the best part of summer league box scores you you out there hacking
03:57
casper's hackathonous so he's one for 15 he has eight fouls and six turnovers and he's been a pro for
04:04
a week yeah well like what like like i don't understand why and here's i'm gonna use real life
04:12
situations you have a call somewhere and you're pissed off because your service was terrible
04:20
and the person on the phone says oh this is my first day um be patient and i would say to you
04:28
that same person in return would not be patient with casper's casper's right wouldn't be
04:38
and i'm like figuring out why we all ask people to be patient in our own lives hey i'm new to this
04:44
hey be patient or whatever he's been a pro for a week let's can we just give it
04:50
a couple of months a couple of months please i'm with you look i want to give him that i'm just
04:56
saying like a bunch of people are being rat bastards about it i would love to go to where
05:00
you work and see if you were like the the best version of yourself the second you went in there
05:06
the thing with me with him i thought that he started the game off really well yesterday i thought that he
05:11
was getting downhill because the one thing that he has shown he's shown an ability to get to the rim
05:14
right he has gotten to the free throw line uh he had a nice pass to to to vlad golden by the way
05:20
that russian is strong whoa i'm liking what i'm seeing man i'm liking what i'm seeing if you watch
05:26
a michigan game it's like a bull in a china shop dude in the paint he was good yesterday he's just
05:31
moving stuff i like him i like him i like him a lot take some notes kj what do you mean he's five years
05:37
older than him but it was it i felt like the shooting because because quesha was trying to
05:45
set him up yesterday like he was backing dude out of the post and like boom kick out to
05:48
casperis and you could just tell like he's got the squeaky cheek shooting a little bit it's it's not
05:55
like but but as a young person okay the one thing you learn as you get older and further along in
06:06
sports is you don't let a string of bad shots or missed shots stop you from continuing to put
06:17
yourself in the right position and taking those shots when you're young you start thinking about
06:24
numbers oh no i'm all for five oh no i'm all for six okay i'm not gonna shoot it right and and that's
06:30
you get in more trouble that that's the sign of a young player that's it like once you
06:36
get older than that you hear the veterans say i missed 10 oh i'm probably gonna make the 11th
06:42
right yeah that's the the old dion waiters right but that's but but that's an older player thing
06:49
what's the dion waiters quote i'd rather be 0 for 30 than 0 for 9 because that means that you stop
06:53
shooting yeah that's it so so like can we just stop why isn't philly cheese on this uh and any of
07:01
these one-on-one tours right oh by the way have you seen three i love what michael beasley has
07:06
become beat michael beasley since the lance even something he's become a bit of a cult hero even
07:09
more yep and everybody's now like people are getting froggy with like oh i want to he's getting
07:14
into it with swaggy p and he's like put up the money he goes well he goes i'll play let's put up the
07:19
money i'm gonna i'll like if you think you can beat me a one-on-one let's go let's play for
07:24
for a prize and the big one right now apparently we're infringing upon some beef with mellow i saw
07:32
that him and mellow come on let me explain hey let me explain something mellow said he's never lost
07:38
let me explain something mellow your knees don't bend be careful okay you've been running straight
07:49
legged for the last three four years there's something to this michael beasley one-on-one thing
07:53
like i think this needs to be part of the all-star weekend like i think that this is like if we have
07:59
a mill on it yeah dude you wouldn't want that instead of the stupid ass skills competition
08:05
or the g-league dunk contest i gotta tell you like it's like michael beasley gets in all these beefs
08:14
and i don't even know if he talks it's like people coming i know he talks but it's more like people
08:19
coming at him it's always people coming at him right they disrespect and meanwhile the only person
08:24
he says ever beat him one-on-one is bam out of bio which is like crazy that is great yeah that's
08:29
what he really gave us i've been saying what bam should be from the second he got to the you know i
08:35
was like watching somebody show uh put on twitter the other day him at summer league where he was
08:39
just like crossing dudes up like just getting in his bag i'm just like man see here's what i learned
08:46
when i got when i started playing professional football that people look at the role you have
08:52
on the team to determine how athletic you are right or how skilled you are it is not bam's fault
09:01
that they had him doing dribble handoffs for the first year you know you feel like the heat made
09:05
bam less cool like are they like yes it's one of those because even beasley said that in that ogs
09:10
where they're like hey he's a point guard you guys don't even understand right and like i like was
09:15
watching i was like man look at it look at him go to work like he did add that you know he started
09:19
hitting the threes this year and that's cool i'm like man maybe they hit maybe you know spo uses
09:24
him as a safety blanket too much when sometimes he's a beautiful quilt right that's what i'm saying
09:28
like he's what are we doing yeah i was gonna say he's gonna run past a lot of patterns you know
09:33
why too much dude we're having a good conversation i didn't even get a point and then you have i didn't
09:40
no you don't get a point you don't try to get a point to me i still deserve a point for no you
09:45
didn't i deserved a point for hackathonus no that was that was like point for
09:52
we got to stop the show to give you your flowers just the minus one i just thought it went
10:01
underappreciated tobin's a show pony can i hear coach glass on uh on the rookie yes yes let's hear
10:10
what he had to say yesterday huh after the heats california classic california pick and roll
10:17
here was what he had to say about lithuanian luca was that like a sushi one i don't know i was trying
10:24
i thought you need time to stall that's what you look like that was good though so it's a work in
10:27
progress you know he's going to continue to get better um his fouling was a little bit um
10:33
a little bit too much today but i love his aggressiveness on defense um he's he's really
10:39
helping us on that side of the ball offensively we we were able to find some solutions we were
10:44
able to get him downhill and and uh get into the paint our spacing was better for him um i thought
10:50
he he had conquered the issues that we had ran into with him the first two games and then just like
10:56
everybody else on our team once they started doubling us in the pick and roll it was problematic
11:00
for everybody so um you know we'll clean that up and we'll be better at it if uh if we see that again
11:05
there you go coach eric glass after the uh heat summer league yesterday
11:10
