You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. Welcome to the big suite, presented by Giraffe King. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries that if they're just there.

That hasn't happened to you guys. I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, that face and the habitual liar. Look at that. Hey, look out for a professional we look. So perfect. I'm going to believe you.

Yeah, if only you were in the center of the shot. All right, move that way, move that way. Okay, now, now look how great we look. Yeah, I'm going to do that. Yeah. We looked almost as great as the Denver Nuggets look tonight as the heat of heat. Yeah, exactly.

The heat, the heat, the heat. Let's the score. Let me look up somewhere. What does that mean? 19 and 19. 15, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, But one of them was just taller and bigger. I made a bunch of shots in the inside while the other one didn't. Hey, that's time for Game 1. I hate to say it again, who had the bigger boys. Oh, that's right. That was showing us a lot. Calm Pipsqueaks again.

Denver had the bigger boys. Yeah, but that makes Miami Pipsqueaks. Oh, Pipsqueaks. You know, for a second, I got worried, like, wait, can she not hear the audio? I might have I did not, did I not solve it? But as you could see, we are both using our own AirPods. So there's no worry there. We've got the video. I was very, I'm going to tell you I was very worried about the AirPods situation. The AirPods situation has been solved, man. It's been solved. We're standing probably a few feet from the Nuggets family section.

I see. Look, it's like a mountain and it's wearing a blue Yoke is Jersey from Serbia. Yep, and this is definitely not the one that Jenna pointed out to me and Denver their the other four games. The body is the less aggressive looking one. And okay, by the way, what did you do me a favor, Zach? Zach, can you do me a favor and just Google what Strahemia means in Serbian?

Yeah, and I know how to spell that. So that's the time. Yeah, are H-I-N-J-A. Someone that would take their Baltic names. Great fear, dread or horror. Yes. That's not real. That can't be real.

That is up. No. You've seen him? That's his name. That's his name. That's his name. I didn't know that was his name. Is great fear or horror

So take that as you will I mean and keep your Distress please just for having a safety of you. I mean like I Could throw my phone and hit him from here. Don't do that. Do not do better than running the stairs Well, then you'd have to run the stairs One direction though. Straight up and out and out the arena. Um, Yo, kids, first 30, 20, 10 triple double and NBA finals history. Uh, he just looked bigger than everybody else out there, man. Then it's funny on a day where it's like he was as dominant on both ends of the floor as you'd want your

start player to be. This wasn't a good advertisement for his fun to watch. This wasn't a fun 30, 2010. This was like, I'm just going to beat you into a pulp. Holy ball. Yeah, he's a guy that you can tell that he played a lot of water polo as a kid, the way he flings the ball one handed in the paint and he just has as Jeff and Gandhi says every time that he touches the ball he just has such good touch and it always hits the front of the rim and plops right into the basket as soon as he says that the yoghurt just switches a shot the next time it's just uncanny and yoghurt watero. Tough on the horses.

That's what they say. Yes. I drowned three ponies. No, bad Zach. No? You know how old that joke is, Zach? Some like it hot. 1957.

Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty much great code. I just watched your window there the night. God, what a great movie. Oh, we talked about that. Something like it was my favorite movie when I was a kid with really? Were you 62 when you were a kid? Yes, I was born. I was born 65 years old.

Ben Jemina buttons over here. Mike Ryan crying about the rest. Oh, let me tell you something. The group chat that me and Zach are in with Mike and Izzy and Sedano like, dude, you know, it's funny. They kept talking about brothers and brothers. And I thought they meant those guys over there. And I was like, what, they had nothing to do with this. What are you talking about? And it took me a while to figure out. Now, I will say the calls that stood out to me the most

were the 2,000 gay bints that picked up right here, right behind me here on the floor, one, an inadvertent trip of Jamal Murray, every been shot by Murray. And the other one, I still am not sure what the call was, where, thanks, draft Kings. I didn't use the word, I'm inspiring. I said, not fun to watch. But, uh, yeah, the other foul, the other foul was the one where, uh, they've imbouted the Yoke and again,

Vincent comes up and gets a steal and they call, I don't know what the call was. Like, so obviously the replays here in the arena weren't great. Did you guys see at home, a, what that call was and where there are other similarly egregious calls? Yeah, he got, he got called for being a Pipsquick.

That was the foul. It's being being too small. And no, they were both just egregiously bad calls, but as bad as the officials wore it times in this game, I didn't like, I just don't like blaming the refs. Yeah, they didn't shoot, they didn't shoot. They usually do. Yeah. And that's the game. It's when you can't stop Jamal Murray, when you can't stop Yokecch and you can't shoot. That's not a good recipe for success. In Jamal Murray, 30 points, 34 points, triple double.

They kept them in late in the game. And I'm very upset about this. I'm going to protest this win on behalf of Ish Smith. The fact that they kept Jamal Murray in that garbage time so that he could get a triple double, I think they should do it like Janus so that he could get a triple double. I think they should do it like Yannis when he tried to pull a Ricky Davis. Actually, I shouldn't say that. I shouldn't have the name of the rules.

Was that hard for all? You want me on this day? I will barge off right now. But I don't think those should count the blowout triple doubles like that. At the very least, they should have played itch Smith and let him play in an NBA finals game. Freeze fair. Yes, man. at the very least they should have played itch Smith and let him play in an NBA finals game. Free spare. The edge, man. Also though, then Denver, you have Christian Brown, Braun, Braun.

I'm not going to Christian Brown. You lost that coin flip chart. I know. It's really awful. Anyway, like he played well, Aaron Gordon. I everybody sort of played fine. And then Joe Kitch, Yokech, and Murray go off. And then the heat, you look at their stats, it's like single digits for most of the guys. Tom, are you upset? Like, it's not the late minutes that didn't go to it. What's up, man? To me, it's the Reggie Jackson minutes.

Why wasn't that issue? That's the troubling thing, isn't it? Yeah, I'm gonna have to start an investigation if you guys wanna go in on it, what the deal is, oh, we have a Yo-Kits brother, can't hear. Oh, man. Oh, man. Yeah, January 3rd.

Yo, why don't we go in the greenness? The greenness is my favorite part. Good job. By the way, a brave Ju-ju gotty sacrificing himself. It's body on the line for the team. Ju-ju. Let's make this happen. There's a couple of things. So, you see, wait, they got me trying to kiss the guy. Lil, yoke brother on got him. What the fuck? I look like. I'm not gonna be trying to get you to do it. You're not gonna be trying to get you to do it. You're not gonna be trying to get you to do it. You're not gonna be trying to get you to do it. You're not gonna be trying to get you to do it. You're not gonna be trying to get you to do it.

You're not gonna be trying to get you to do it. You're not gonna be trying to get you to do it. You're not gonna be trying to get you to do it. You're not gonna be trying to get you to do it. You're not gonna be trying to get you to do it. You're not gonna be trying to get you to do it. You're not gonna be trying to get you to do it. You're not gonna be trying to get you to do it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, It's somebody open a tab What is what is

Is that should flip the slip or those toes toes? Why would you put that on the stream? I don't matter. That's not care man. Anyway, is that Jeremy? This man made these shoes himself. We failed. Charlie, your full breakdown here. What is it? A clock. Hi, clock.

And how did you make, how did you come up with the inspiration to make these shoes? It can be cool and actually the shoes are a little bit smaller. Small, so I, I'm normally normally I am you, this style? Yeah. Toe-gram. That is amazing. That is really, that is ingenious. You took the problem and turned it into style.

Thank you. Thank you, Tokich. Thank you, Clark. Oh, Paul. Yeah, I want to just say real quick, because again, even for the video audience, you ought to see this. What happened was, I told the kill, good job.

That's a good one, that's a good one, that's a win. I'm talking over here and I look at Juju and Juju's literally jumping up and down. He's jumping up and down like head over heels. Norris fold during the Ray Allen game six shot. That's what he's, yeah. I was like, what are you doing? What's going on? And then he's he just points. And I turn it.

I look. But he healed. Well done. Oh boy. Go to the penalty box. So going back, going back to the game. Right. So both teams shot really bad from three. We know that. Yeah. I mean, the heat shot slightly better because the late search there by the usual empty calorie dunker Robinson threes, but really story of this game. He led the team and scoring in the fourth quarter last game when they took over. Yeah, usual empty calories. That I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Okay. So you had the one. Okay. Like, do you want to go back to the rest of the season? There's only three games the rest of the season Season that's what you shot poorly during the season the whole team shot poorly for the season stop So I'm distracted with the point is the point is the nugget shot 30 for 65

30 or 48 in the point in the paint 60 points a heat 17 or 46 That's Pips Creek action right. If I do say so myself. And it's 17 only amounted to 30. Look who's over here. You got that was strong. Jerome. Black, Dagon roll, black, or dragon or dragon or dragon. Black Jagger or dragon or the dragon or dragon Well, you guys surprised that he would heist met didn't get any minutes until late

Yeah, I mean, I think he's been playing pretty well for them like I Yoke just cooking at this point you have no answers You might as well just throwing a minute at some point and try to see if he can kind of rough up Yoke's degree. I mean, the Zeller minutes are just awful. Like, uh, the Zeller minutes, but I just think in that sense, like I, every time he's come into games, he's done a good job for the most part. You know, he's gonna work. He's gonna have, or he's a young guy. He's gonna have some mistakes and things like that. But in general, like, he's made plays for them. I don't see a reason why they wouldn't. By the way, Cody Zeller. Do this the whole show's I'd love this. Wait, but what was I didn't get that what was the toady? Toady, toady, Cody, Cody

Zeller. I'm like, that's not upon you. Just set his name. Cody Zeller, the only rotation guy who was a positive plus minus tonight. Yeah, the heat let him down, man. I mean, he was trying to best. I saw my soul. I'm all setting it out of bounds. And you know what's funny? Jay money. Jay money 82 says, I mean, it's like a 50 a senior seeing his sophomore friends. You know what's funny? You're right. My friends are soft moroc. Oh, you need to go to the you got a child. That's what it is.

Kevin Pinkie. Charlotte, take the mic from him. I mean, he needs to go to the box. Yeah. Sam Pinky. You know what's a weird quirk of tonight's game? Is that the Denver Nuggets did not take a single three pointer in the fourth quarter. That is the first time this entire season

that a team has not taken a three-point shot in the final frame. I don't know if that's a strategy or whether just the heat defense was just letting him get into the paint and fouling them and that was it. They were just scrolling on in. Yes, that was not a strategy. That was called, we can't stop anybody on dribble penetration. And I also just think the the the blitzing of the pick and roll and things like that just opened up those opportunities and I thought the nuggast did a great job cutting off of everything and and that was something they didn't do in game two a lot of standing and watching or as in this one especially in the second half you saw a lot more cuts baseline cuts 45 angle cuts like it all all that stuff. You know who didn't put their best foot forward air toll strough.

Gonna allow it. Gonna allow it. I'm gonna allow it as well. Guys, I know there's we've talked a lot on the show in the past about can you cheer in the press box? Is it what's the question? cheer in the press box, right? What about you come in and a no, it's a different scenario. What about if you're cheering because all your bets are hitting? Is that allowed? I want to bring in special correspondent Ju-ju-gadi Who has a new belt that he got from Ross today For Ross you feel me we outside. Oh, you do we did all my bets cash in the nightmare salute the drab kings dot com man

Slow-dirty folks outside slow to my brother. That's the man right there. I want big zoom man What we talking about hey, what kind of what kind of tickets did you cash to? Tony look subscribe to my shit you feel me you get the best next game about that super soup snow So you know what you want on Oh, you're not giving away secrets. I'm gonna give it a little bit of a step. There's one on everything. So yeah, plus five and a half free throws for for Yochich, let me tell you when Yochich had four free throws went to the free throw line and missed the first. The yellow came.

Oh, you're across the arena. He had Caleb Martin 10 plus screen checking for the guy in black that just walked by. You're right. Checking that. Get out of here. No, I went the other way. I mean, never mind. I'm sorry. I just didn't like that. I didn't have much to paint. Yeah. Oh, Cody's that who let you down, Juju?

He needed 10 points from CPK. And what did he get? Like eight. Was CPK KCP do me? I was like, yeah, I was like, I was like, the California pizza. I was like, what do you do? 10-inch pizza from California to be delicious.

I'm bad at saying letters in an acronym. This is good information to learn now. Can Toby us called well, Pope? Yeah. Wow. Alternate spelling. So, uh, so what what else do you have? Like Caleb's, uh, Caleb's Ella.

Wow. Martin was nine and a half. And when Martin had that layup in transition when they were trying to make that push early in the fourth quarter, again, like I think the arena shook because the studio said, yes. And then even one. I also had under on a Gumball, a WNBA under 23 points, slew to my sister. Next game she'll get them. I am a man.

You just brag about it under about a completely there. What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it? What's it?

Big part like guys you feel me. Tony and man soups. No, I see that hard for you. My brother that haircut is my brother. My brother. I talk parts you like kid when he was doing this one. One on your back.

Bob had that time. I see you my brother. I love you. Well, I got you back. My man. It's my guy. We're waiting on Jenna Garcia to come back from the press conferences, give us some insight from what's happening there.

Have you guys seen anything? I know you guys have your Twitter feeds up. What's happening? I actually don't, but I wanted to know, Mo, have you ever seen any more, any more like indifferent defensive energy or just energy in general than Michael Porter Jr. so far in this series? Yo, I thought he was good in the second half. I mean, the first half defensively, he wasn't good,

but I thought in the second half, he was trying more made more hustle plays and things like that. He had the one where he chased around, gave Vincent over the top of the screen, shake your head, Zach, all you want. He made hustle plays on the offensive, and for offensive rebounds and things. We got to stop treating him like he's a puppy. Like, no, no like No, it's just

It's just It's better than that. You know who lost today? Miami heat lost today. You know who else lost MPJ lost some minutes of Christian Brown. Yeah, yeah, I should brown was phenomenal They're gonna continue starting them and playing them, but I'm telling you right now, they're not going to hesitate to pull his ass and put brown in. Yes, Zach, we're going to talk about Christian brown right now. I would also like to direct everyone to the Levitard Instagram where Taylor, who is behind the camera, played a great game of who that is. And many people in the Miami office did not know who Christian brawn.

Oh, you're just like, you're close. We're so close. I know it's brown. I don't like it. CPK. Ryan Fallon. Kate. Kate GB.

Yeah, here's the Christian job conversation. Yeah, no, this is this is. I really kind of, you kind of need these energy plays from your, from your role players, especially on the road in Miami. He gave everything you wanted to see from Michael Porter, Jr. I feel like at some point, one of the players is just going to rip Michael Porter, Jr.'s head off in a defensive rotation that he misses or just communication. And it was interesting to hear him in the press conference today,

get basically giving away the game plan, talking about like, hey, when we call out our defensive coverage is the Miami Heat are just doing the opposite thing and countering in real time. Yeah, that's just, that's just, that's a big basketball. Like that's what that was.

Yeah. And you don't think the coverage, Mark Jackson said something about like, that's just that's just that's the basketball like that's what yeah, like they you don't think the conference like Mark Jackson was like Mark Jackson said something about like Deandra Jordan knows every play that the

heater run like yeah so does everybody that's just an NBA what that was that was the thing from game one I want to say when they put on that yoke it's just called

pistol like it's literally the easiest thing that like they'll call literally looks like this. I wonder what play this could be It's like you call out what horns is like they're running horns like what gave it away the guy going like this But you know what Christian Brown though like this is something that became game two also in the second quarter of game two He was phenomenal had some big plays made some defensive Possessions and then you push the ball and transition and things like that.

This is just a continuation of what he's done. You know, it's not that surprising that this is, you know, he got going in the third quarter. But I think like I think he took like he took a he took MPJ slot, man. Like they're going to keep starting with this stuff. But I don't think that like I think there's going to be zero hesitation in the future It's like I think there was zero hesitation to begin with. Yeah, I don't know man I can't wait a lot of minutes. Yeah, you just went a lot of minutes He just

He does that thing that I it's a big pet peeve mine is when you're in the corner And you and you're you don't get the ball the shot goes up and he just stands there in the corner, either go in for the rebound or get back on defense, standing there stationary when the other shot goes up, when you're standing in the corner, you're doing nothing, you're doing nothing, be active, do something out there, in the words of a mean, burn a calorie out there.

Fucking single calorie, yeah. I have a question for you guys. Yes. Yes. With a minute 14 left in the fourth quarter, heat down nine. Obviously not a lot of time left, but Bam out of bio takes a bad elbow jumper. He had Duncan Robinson open right at the top of the key. Your top of the yard. We took a bet? Who was that? Oh, I'm sorry. It's Dries from the elbow. Yeah, it's Dries elbow. As I like the comment.

He took a, and look, man, I guess if it goes, you're down seven, but you know, Duncan, empty calories get you to six there. And then who knows? I was like this. No, but it's not bad. 70 seconds left. It's not about like, oh, seven versus six.

It's also you shot like shit all game long. Hey, here's an idea. As Yoke just sprawled all the way back there on the ground, take one dribble and destroy whoever's in your way. And that's the frustration, right? That's what we're dealing with. As I told a mean in the group chat, you can't go with fan fiction here.

Like that, a bam is not gonna, isn't that he's not gonna do that? Like, yeah, like Duncan and Robinson at least shoot a three. I mean, bam, going two for nine in the second half, all on shots that the nuggets are perfectly fine with them taking. It's the same story in game one.

Like, hey, if he makes me make some, those are shots that he can make, but it won't beat us. And I think that's a big one there. Bam sometimes looks like the most confident man in the world when he misses shots and then really rattled when he makes them. And after he, you know, like after he missed that jumper, he was like swaggering away. Because then he gets to say, you know what you can say?

At that point, he gets to say, man, if I had made that, you'll be in trouble, right? Like that's the most powerful thing that you can say at that point you can say, man, if I had made that, y'all be in trouble, right? Like that's the most powerful thing that you can say in sports. You know, shout out to everyone in the chat. I'm really appreciate it in the comments. Javier Santiago go to the penalty box. This man said his foot pun was Jettomari. No, that's not.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Ten minute majors. I'll take it. I like it. You didn't make any sense. You didn't make any sense, but I like it. Why not your foot then at that point? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, You're crazy, you're crazy. Listen to what you hear. You're covered with your eyes. We're going to take all the dirt. But the more terrorists don't know what to do. Look at the people you're asking for. If you want to continue with life.

Birdbox, Barcelona. It's a train on Netflix, July 14th. You're going to have to know. Dan Levatard! How do people always go missing in the mountains? Don't go to the mountains? And by the way, I don't wanna bring raises. This is the most white people thing ever.

Going missing in the middle of the mountains. It's the strangest thing. You go by yourself, you don't take a radio, you don't take a phone, you're missing for four days, and they find you like 10 years later covered and snow and it's like, don't go by yourself. If you're gonna go on a trail, don't go by yourself. Stu Gatz. Put it on the pole. Is it the widest person thing ever? I believe is what you called it going into the woods by yourself.

Is going into the woods by yourself. I can't disagree with that man. So black people don't camp. Yeah, black people don't hike. They don't camp. They don't go on into the woods. This is the Don Lebert laboratory show with their stugats. What else you got, Dennis? We're taking a lot to take me away from you. Yeah, okay. Oh, what? Guys, it's terrible. Thank you.

Also great suit going on with you. Underrated underrated hairl hair line in the game every Johnson Like his his hairline is illustrious always would you would you take his hairline if you if you had his voice If it came with his voice, I love his voice.

I won't get out of here. You will get out of here. Hey, Avery, just a question. How do you feel about the heat's defense tonight in game three?

Are you trying to get me? I can't do it. Hold on real quick. I mean, you remember our guy foot walker? Oh, yeah So Zach and I This is a real dumb story, but this is that being punished coverage, right? This is what you need Zach and I we used to do a segment on the radio called this date name be a history and we like we go to things that Happened in people's birthdays and there's a guy whose name is foot's walker and apparently Zack's dad covered him in college when it's that's dad work for the college paper which I didn't know. Yeah West West Georgia College my dad said I just

pulled up the text this is from May 21st 2021. Clarence foot's walker when we recruited him we came close to getting MAC a dude to, but UNC offered him a deal. He couldn't refuse. No, my dad can can break those kind of allegations, but he did. Yeah, your dad is basically the legend of the bag man came coming. Even back that. And what's your back man was, was just not ready to battle UNC. We're joined now by Jenna Garcia

Just come from all the post game media availability Jenna Oh, no, she's got your positive note. Okay. Yep. So you sat in we're all tapped in. Yeah, see I fixed it. You're welcome everybody You my genius you broke me in a time. I feel like this was gonna fall for us. It's Taylor's idea. No, it wasn't I told there I told you. There we go. I told you. I told you. I told you. Give you 100 bucks.

That can be. Say his last name. No without reading. Even with reading it actually. Jenna Vibolas. Yeah. Good job. Jenna, what take away is you have from the press conferences?

Michael Malone is much more pleased with his team. He felt like the defense actually had a lot less breakdowns. They played much better this game. The effort obviously getting two triple doubles from your two stars. First time in NBA history that you get two triple doubles. Pretty impressive. He obviously was pretty pleased with the team. This go around worked out in his favor.

If it hadn't, you know, they held Miami to very few like 37, I think, percent from three point lines. And that was after just a couple of makes at the end from Loury and from Dr. Robbins. Yeah, Loury drops three late. So yeah, really impressive performance for the nuggets. Now Mo, one other thing. Oh, wait, I have your Santiago wants to know, DeGena's bets hit. She wasn't cheering as much for the bets like Juju.

No, I didn't cheer for the bets because I don't want to disappoint Greg Cody, you know, but I wasn't able to put in any bets here because this state is so weird. Everything is legal here except for betting. I don't understand it. Yeah, how is Florida? The state where you can't bet on your phone? phone. You can do anything in Florida. Great question actually. Because no, because everybody wants it to stay illegal, because there's more fun giving money to your book. In an alley and doing it that way versus the actually just doing it the easy way on your phone. Ronda Santos meeting, strange men in alleyways to pay them money. I'm just saying like we like to bet women like to bet, but can we make it safe? I'm with it. Oh, that's again, that's a Florida thing. They're not gonna help you I'm not gonna help women Like you're new here

What Go to Like go I'm gonna just tell you guys I don't know if you guys watch the show today, but Jenna with every, I mean, Jenna, Charlotte with every waking moment becomes more and more likes to got like it's frightening. It is terrifying. Like I'm like, I hear stugots talking and I turn and I see. Okay.

Okay. I mean, on the show, I was like a road environment is going to be great for them. Denver needs to come in and feel like they've got a chip on their shoulder. They don't want a home crowd. I know they've been great at home. And I mean, I was like, oh wow, your stucats. And what happened tonight is on saying.

The Fetter team one, higher in the belly was one of the terms she used earlier. You said, they got five. Wait, but from the Charlotte to be fair, you didn't know you said Pipsqueak's either. You might have said Fire in the belly. I'm the terms she used earlier. You said, they got five. Wait, but Charlotte to be fair, you didn't know you said Pipsqueak's either. You might have said, Fire in the belly. I'm an unreliable narrator. But Mo, you also had the analysis that like when I asked you what the adjustment is going

to be, you said they're going to play harder and better. Is that simply, is that simply what happened tonight or is there anything else you saw? No, and I also had said they were going to do a better job with getting Yokech the ball on the zone and things like that. But I think the, I do think just their defensive execution was better and they were more locked in. There wasn't so many mistakes where they let guys kind of just get wide open threes off of one guy switching, one guy staying and all that stuff and being in different coverages.

But again, I said it earlier, just their offense. The cutting and the movement across the board was was was really what changed the game for them. Did you just click this heels? I don't know what happened in the world this one other bad hit. Yeah. Another bad. One of the West Coast games right now. See see see see be see be game plus three hundred over. She's kick factory. Cbc gave plus 300 over cheesecake factory What was that his name the the forward for the Utah jazz former Utah jazz No, I see he's a it's a terrible setup. What's happening? Judy like hit like 40 points back in the heat all day. Okay. I am a

Step many played it was Paul Paul Bunyan. That's right. Yeah. No. That's not penalty box worthy. No, no. It's Paul Bunyan. Yeah. It wasn't Paul Mill's app.

Like it was because the walk in the park was unnecessary. That's the problem. Why was that unnecessary? You could have just called Paul Bunyan It most said Paul mill sap we got there no you could have said Chris Paul Bunyan There you know because it's not his first name. It's His last name is Paul that doesn't work in me How about how about you?

How about Ed O Bunyan? Ed O Bunyan better better better way because you know, there's a being there. Speaking of Paul Bunion, I think that Christian Brown looks like Paul Bunion's great, great grandson. I know it's Brown, but I don't sharn it. What are you just saying? Jenna, tell us about the bets. That's what you did.

I really just want to bet. CB 15 point. Let me help you out here. Jenna, if you could bet while you're in Florida, what would your bets have been? Thank you, Mo. What a great question. Actually, Taylor and I just discussed today, Jamal Murray, 20 plus points, Nikola Yokech, 30 plus points, and Denver Nuggets Moneyline

would have got you plus 300 odds on draft kings today. Would have been a lot of a century if I could lock it in here, but I hate this state. Also, this stadium is way smaller than the Nuggets stadium. It's way smaller. Just kidding. It actually holds more people. Dennis got to embrace the Denver home. She's leaning into it. Yeah, Denver.

The city that didn't even care that the finals was going on. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no the show. No porn. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Wow. You should have mean. What's your heels show mean? He's gonna pull hamstring. Try to click. He's like, yeah, that's good. Show man. You just got accepted by your own show. Wow. If I could tell you what Jamal Murray's all-time rank in post season scoring average, where would you say he was? All-time Jamal Murray, minimum 50 games, all-time scoring average. No, he's like, he's top five, isn't he? Yeah, I mean, they can't be the first

off the campy that many. Yeah. We're saying, I mean, no, don't do this. At the totally takes the air out of this stat. He's got to be 117th. Thank you, Zach. Yeah, he's he's 17th all time in postseason scoring. He just passed Dirk Navitsky. He's at 25.4 points per game in his career in the postseason. Never been into an ulcer, never all NBA. He has a higher scoring average in the playoffs than Karim, Shaq, Larry Bird, Barkley, Harden, Wilts,

has more 30 point games at this age in his postseason career than Melo did, Russ, Harden, Kyrie, and Tim Duncan. Who's the comp? Who's the comp for I was a cop for some like for some player this good at scoring in the postseason that didn't have an all star or consider the best. Do any of you guys feel like he's an all-star caliber player? This year is the first time I've considered him to be an all-star caliber player. I don't think he was there in the past like because you have to think in the West for years, it has just been loaded, right?

So you're saying like he's got to get in there over certain guards that he just wasn't better than having better years than, but this is the first year where it's like, yeah, he's legit an all-star caliber player, and we'll probably start making it with the coaches voting him in the coming years. I mean, yeah, go ahead.

No, Zach's right on about that. I also think this year he started out slow in the coming years. Yeah, I mean, yeah, go ahead. No, Zach's right on about that. I also think this here, he started out slow. Was no reason to vote him in into this stuff. He only kind of grew into the Murray that we saw towards the second half of the season and really started to look comfortable. He only overcame an ACL tale.

Taylor. Taylor? He's a ACL tale? There we go. ACL Taylor. We're all looking good. I refer to those as LCA's. He's a real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real, real That was an accident to tell us letting us know that was an accident to post. They shouldn't have made it to the screen. Tony Tony Tony.

Red Van Fed is pretty good. That's a pretty good one. Hey, do we think that Damien Lillard is going to be a Miami Heat next year? That's a great question. We didn't get to it on the show today because the news broke right after we did post game But if those that haven't heard basically the Breaking news from showtime I believe is is where that came out of. Yep. Is that if Damien Lillard Does get traded his preference is Miami over Boston, New York and Brooklyn

I kind of feel like this is Miami is the new age, Nick's in terms of every time there's a star available. We're gonna talk about that. They're gonna go to Miami. So we've heard the same thing about Joel and bead in this all season. We said it's the same or his all season. It's not obviously the all season for Miami. And we said the same thing by Yannis. honest uh... switch out the final my good news of the idea that somehow they're gonna get all of these guys and i know why because unlike the nicks they actually had a time when they got all the guys so do you guys think there is a possibility for that i just look at the heat russian i say the milliliters available he traded i don't think the heat can put the best offer

well what's interesting is he said uh... would love to go to Miami in that hypothetical because BAM is my dog. And the irony is is that if he gets treated to Miami, it's going to be for BAM out of bio. Unless the heat can pull off a Jimmy Butler Josh Richardson trade again, where they're basically give nothing over to the other team, they're able to get a star player for almost nothing, right? With the way Joe Kronin has handled trades, that's a possibility.

No, I don't think they've been terrible. I don't think they want BAM. I don't agree with it, but I think they, if we're trading DAME, we're going to be going all young, tanking, using the third pick, scoop Henderson, Simon's, Shade and Sharp, whatever, it just try to be, be bad and tank for another year and continue that way. I didn't hear it. I'm out of my mind as a hamstring injury that's going to knock him out for the entirety of next season. Real quick.

I mean, mentioned Janis and I'm just confused. Did he mean Janis on toe, toe, toe, toe? Hey, sack. Yeah, I don't want to listen. Yeah, he did. Shout out to Ro, Rocco, Roca to to to to. Zag looks like he walked into supercuts and said, give me the Argentina. I never got a supercuts in my life. And I gave him Roccaas very struggling in the hair department. I mean, don't talk. What?

What? You could have fixed it with the liquid collagen DM me $10 off. Is that Vinnie? No, no. No, man, Vinnie be working post game man. No, he doesn't know he doesn't know he doesn't. Vinnie works, man. Vinnie does the game.

Vinnie doesn't work before the game at all. He doesn't work before the game at all. He doesn't work during the game at all, but I post game because he's catching up from all the work he didn't do when the free game of the during the game. But I post game he works his ass off, man. He be in there. He's like, it's funny.

It's like, it's been so long since I've written that I forget how much shit writers have to do. Like I'm walking there like Sam and me and Jeff Zilgit are still typing away. I'm like, what are you guys? Hey, come on over here and they're just flipping you the bird. Like, come on man. Come on man.

This is the first sports, like big moment I've covered that I haven't been writing for. And so I was sitting there feeling this phantom anxiety because I hadn't written anything and then I remember I didn't have to file it so shout out to all those people who work in really hard. It's a new experience for you Charlotte. It's a new experience. So long suckers. That's what you say. I'm trying to say. Game four. What do you guys see as far as adjustments from the heat? They got to have a lot more energy on the boards.

Yokeh had more rebounds than the entire Miami Heat team in the third quarter. Just all the energy numbers were way down for the heat. They had only one turnover in the first half, which was good. Jimmy Butler shot about 100 field goal attempts in the first quarter, which is going at it every single time. But the boards, they got to clean up the boards, have more energy. What does Pat really like to say? No rebounds, no rings. No rings, yeah. So they got to do better job. They don't have the size. That's really the bigger concern with that. And I think they have to find they can't over help as much as they did in the second half with

this game. Like there were times where Christian Brown was driving. And Jimmy would leave Yokech to go help on Brown. And it was, but like, do I have this off? I don't think Christian Brown should be the kind of player who's breaking you guys off the board, right? No, the breakdown of, we can't keep him off the board. That's problematic. And I thought the energy on in terms of just pure, what on one defense, guarding your man

was non-existent. Yeah, I mean, they just allowed them into the paint over and over again way too easily. I mean, can we get a Yokeish brother update? They're not here anymore. It's cowards. Cowards! Check that out. I'm a general, general is inside.

So Jenna, we saw them. I saw the one you pointed out and like I don't know why everyone's afraid that one the other one You have that's the one that fights in the UFC You were the one that I mean wasn't scared of the fighter I'm not a mania is The other one the other one is that like it looked every everything at Mark Spears and David Aldridge and Jason Jackson and all the other old black men in my video told me about like like an old like an old kind of like something passed down mouth You know generation generation by mouth like Do you know what anger that I was like get out of here and then I saw it and literally it's everything it's Jeff

Green said the same thing. It's like I can't I didn't see his face by the way. I just saw him from the back and it was literally a cascaded. It was him. You didn't see his face. Look, man, if it ain't him, I'm scared of whatever that was. I don't I don't know who it was. I'm just saying I'm scared.

It was scary looking like literally a cascaded tattoo's coming down the back. And like, it was when, like, clearly an authentic Yokey Serbian Jersey. But like it was what would it be better if it was a replica? No, but here's this funny part. Yeah, I don't say authentic meaning as far as stitch versus screen printed. I say it in sense of this was a game Jersey. And that's his brother's jersey. Yeah. And Yokey just, Nikolaola Yoke, just not a small man.

We call him a love of a better all the time. This thing clearly was struggling. But all that's might just to fit this dude. It was like so many for the pocket. It was all of this. I saw Charlotte's video and I thought like that is that looks like an extra medium. Like that look like Dan Douglas. That was a mo I'm telling you man like it could not hold him. It could not

hope to contain him. It was it was struggle bus city. Bam has a better a better opportunity to stop Nikola Yokech and that jersey does of holding his brother. I have we done. Have we done BAM out of a by toe? No, I think. No. There you go. I got one in. It was I've just shout out Jenna because I was taking that video and she said it was Jamal Maristad that the large, large, large Yokecch brother was putting his

arm around. Their families are really close? I don't know if their families are close, but they were sitting together for tonight's game. Jamal's dad comes to everything. Obviously, he's very involved in his training growing up and everything. But yes, Ann, Nicole's wife was here.

I never understand why we don't talk about the wives, or like the sisters or the moms. No one ever says Jamal's mom really contributed to his upbringing. It's all about his dad. I don't understand it, but his wife was here and they have a very adorable story going all the way back to high school where they were high school sweethearts. And he actually said that he chased her to the U.S. never chased the nuggets.

His word 90 day fiance. No, no, she puts off no volleyball at the University of Oklahoma. Yes, I just want to interrupt that heartwarming story to put down Jericho said Charlotte looks like a rare book stealer. God damn. That is an excellent. That is an excellent looks like. I'm the first edition of Don Coyote. That one's that one's that one's show worthy. I think that's main that's main show worthy. I've never I've never been at once so seen and so owned at the same time. Thank you. I'm going to take it as a compliment. Chris Paul. Chris Paul was reported to be told that he was waved by the

Phoenix Suns today. Chris Haynes reporting that he was told he was going to be waved by the Phoenix Suns, which is a shocker in the sense that he's guaranteed $16 million next season. He's on contract for $30 million and 16 of that is guaranteed. And then a couple of the reports are downplaying that. For me, SPN and elsewhere saying, wait a minute, wait a minute. They're just mulling their options here. The Phoenix Suns are not actually waving him. We are kind of not doing that.

We want to keep our options open, which is to me, a smoke screen because they didn't want that to get out and now they got to hold some sort of leverage and trades and figure out what they're going to do and that word got out Chris Paul. According to Chris Haynes, it's going to be way by the Phoenix Suns. So he can't come back to the Phoenix Suns if he's waved and clears waivers, then he can resign with the Phoenix Suns at a lower cap number. But that just seems very, I don't know, odd for a team to do that.

It doesn't make a lot of sense because I don't know how it opens up a ton of cap space for them. I'm not sure I fully understand what the game plan is. Maybe we'll see something later and go like, oh, that's why you made the move or what not. But it's, there's, you know, I have questions. Don, yes. Beto ran minute minimum. I've also been trying to, I've been trying to get the cadence

on the Jenna Garf pizza, but it just, it's not there, right? It's not, it's not there. Yeah. Where, if you were in have a ball and you did leave the suns leaving the suns part of this out of it. Where would you I would go to Charlotte just to

watch scoot Henderson Lamello ball and Chris Paul play point. Oh, it's Brandon Miller. They're taking Brandon Miller at the two. Um, I think like, I mean, doesn't. You know, can he, could he be that Rondo role in 2020 for the Lakers? Would he make sense on, you know, back on the Clippers? Those I think if he's willing to play kind of like a Lowry role and significantly lower

minutes, I think he makes sense for a lot of teams. So James Harden and Philly. So I think like, but I think it's Lake Huron. I think Boston, he'd help. I think he'd help Milwaukee. I think there's a lot of places that he can end up. I think Boston, for sure. We talked about this.

Me and Mo, I think we talked about this a while ago, but I did that with the Celtics really miss is just someone who's like a creator, like someone who can calm them down, who can create for others, because all who can calm them down who can create for others because all they have is a bunch of guys they want to score. Should be pointed out, Chris Paul makes, student make $30.8 million next year, but only half of that is guaranteed.

If they cut them by June 28th, which is why we're hearing all this chatter right now as opposed to July 1st, they have pretty much three weeks as of yesterday. Leave. Mark Tom is a comic. You said that. Who brought that up? Tom said all. Did you think we just stumbled on Chris Paul for no,

without the context? No, no. No, I'm just saying it's worth noting that Chris Paul is a member of the Phoenix Suns currently and has been there for a couple of seasons. Yeah. I mean, I mean, what are your thoughts on him possibly going to Memphis as a sort of mentor? John Sergut? John Sergut and being at a substitute for half the season. So he doesn't have to play. I don't see the highest Jones for.

I don't see, first of all, I don't know why they won't like Ty's Jones plays great. Like I've on Memphis. I feel very comfortable with ties. Don't second of all I don't think John is gonna want to be mentored by Chris Paul. Is anybody gonna want to be mentored by? Yeah, I think I think if you if you're up and coming maybe if you're the first year is always great the first year is all But no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no right. What was the who is he gonna listen to that? Not to say that Chris Paul is like the job. He's gonna listen to Adam Silver. If Adam Silver decides to actually give a consequence, then he'll listen to Adam Silver. Yeah, I don't know if it's a bring someone from the outside to or from another team to play that role. Do we have a drag? If number on the length of suspension or?

I mean, it's got to be a 40 and a half now, right? Like it's got a, yeah. I'm just counting this state. Yeah, general general look it up in a few days. Like, like, like, general really looks like Saturday. Saturday. She's gonna just look. Follow her on Twitter.

She's gonna give us all this information on Saturday. She really is like exhibiting withdrawal symptoms. She's sweating. She's scratching herself rocking a little bit. Like that. Man, a gamble, a lot. Anonymous, right? What's the number?

1,800 gamblers? Uh, I've got a, I've got a text from our friend Marshall Newhouse. Super Bowl champion Marshall Newhouse, I mean. Uh, what, you know, Marshall? Yeah, I love Marshall and I think it is super. He's the best. I don't know. That's great. Great. He says, John Marant should have a sit down, Convo, with a manual, achto. Well done, Marshall. What about, like, if you're, if you're Chris Paul and you're trying to get to a team that is looking to like jump up and win in a young team, I guess kind of what we thought, okay,

see, we thought, okay, see, was going to tank and then they're good for a year, right? Wouldn't, wouldn't Orlando make a ton of sense with how good they were after the first like 28 games or whatever, or 25 games. Yes, except if your Chris Paul, is that the sort of situation that appeals to you now when it's like you're in the twilight of your career, wouldn't you rather want to play for?

I don't know what the contract would be to make it work and I think you would need a 13s. I don't know that's that attractive, but maybe that's when a trade comes into the mix. If you're willing to pay him that 30, if you're Orlando or to jump off. I'm playing you into watch here is Fred Van Vliet or feet. If he leaves Toronto, that opens up a spot.

And we could see Chris Paul going to tow, Toronto, wrap toes. Next season, and I think that would be a really good fit going to Toe, Ranto, Raptos, next season. And I think that would be a really good fit replacing Fred Van Feet. So keep an eye out for it. Are we okay? Is this been, this has not been a good one.

It's been a bit rough. This has been a bit rough. That had three toes in it. But the Toronto, but the Toronto, no one's gonna stop that. But if Toronto, Fred Van, Fred Van, Vamee leaves Toronto, that's a great call, Todd. I had to do Toronto radio the other day and they asked me like, what's going to happen? And like Toronto was one of the teams at the trade deadline that had all the chatter around them, right?

Because Van Vee, because Gary Trent, because OG Adam Nobby and Pascal Siacum were all kind of on the market and none of them ended up getting traded. The Raptors still haven't hired a head coach. Do you guys see any connection between all those things happening? Oh, Chris Paul Player Coach, is that what you're saying? Oh, that'd be interesting.

They have the list of news. Oh That'd be interesting Yeah, it's you know There's a there's a real long walk in the park. I want to make about On the journey. Let's go on the journey. Yeah, all right Chris Paul He doesn't he doesn't defend like he used to but he's a really smart player particularly when he's coming to help from the nail Give it to you. Thank you your past sins have been forgiven. I mean What else we got here guys anything else who wins game four who wins game for us a good one? I think the heat win game four. I

Think I think they just got to play better defense. It feels like I'm doing a walk in the park even when I'm making analysis Where's it going with this Look if if part of the reason why they weren't able to go zone against the nuggets is because they weren't getting, you know, the nuggets were not taking the ball out of the basket or essentially they were going out and transitioned and the heat weren't able to get into zone and that didn't disrupt them at all in tonight's game. So I think they're gonna have to figure out a way to make more shots from downtown which will help them obviously score points but also let them get their defense set up in his zone and try to disrupt. And it goes hand in hand.

We like to think that these things are not related, offensive rating and defensive rating, but I do think there's a lot more with the Miami Heat. They're hitting their shots. They're gonna be a whole lot better defensively. At what point does this size become insurmountable? Like, do you think that's what's gonna be what eventually, no I'm serious, like, sorry.

Oh, sorry. Sorry. Yeah, can you delete something that's live? We'll fix that in post. At what point, but seriously, like it is Denver inevitable because they're much stronger than bigger. I don't want to say bigger now because I probably wouldn't get in.

I mean, probably, but it also like, I don't know, David beat Goliath and tolaath, you know, we had, like we've had, you know, the warriors were a smaller team, but obviously they were the warriors. And so they had the shooting to do it. I think Miami is capable of playing physical basketball in a way that neutralizes it, but I mean, they have to play not perfect, but like close to it. Yeah. The margin of error for this team is not big. I've been saying it since they were up 31 in the Celtic series. Like it feels good when they're like everything's hidden, but like that little bit of them

not making perimeter shots. Met the nuggets could sag and pack the paint. Met life was harder for Jimmy and for BAM. Met when they would sag and they kick out. Those close outs were a lot harder with a lot more like aggression. And all of that bled in like, yeah, man, you don't have that. And then when you take that to the other side, because you're not making them take it out

basket, they're coming on rebounds. It's hard to stop them in transition or slash the offense is in flow. So now we can't get into our places. And then we don't have the energy to stop people in dribble penetration. It's getting into the paint. We're getting into the yoke, because getting the hell we want. Like, all of these things are connected, Mo. Like you said, but it starts with, you guys have like, the game plan cannot be compromised. You have to do the thing you're supposed to do. I'm not saying they got us to 50% from three, but you can't be that terrible. There was a point when it was like

Struce, Duncan Robinson, Gabe Vincent, and Lowry, you were two of 17 combined from three. That's the game right there. Well, but I think I don't think Denver is going to continue to shoot this poorly from three. Yeah, that's coming too. That's coming too. And I think that's going to be a big problem for them come game four. If I had to guess, I think Denver breaks out of that in game four and finds a rhythm with all that stuff.

And I think it just becomes even tougher for Miami after that. I just think we keep discounting the heat team and their toughness. And at a certain point, they are just going to play bigger than they are. They're going to be tough. They're going to be in the face of Denver. It's going to intimidate. They're going to play a lot like metatarsal world piece. I see you just worked all that way.

That was, no, no. We have to go out on that. Tom looks like you can't believe this is what his career has come to. What career? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Intention is really important apparently in basketball in touch in big one Now were they referring to the offensive or defensive end? Both ends. Intention, rebounding, intention. Offense, intention. Attention to detail. We had some intention, attention. No matter.

That's all that went wrong for the heat tonight. It sounds like it's a cool intention. That's what I heard a lot. That's what I heard a lot. That's what I heard a lot. That's what I heard a lot.
