I stay up to 1 a.m. to watch them blow. To watch them blow a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter and then have the game wrapped up in overtime and then blow that. Then it goes to double overtime. Double overtime. They lose. Tell me how many hawks junior had to triple double? Don't care. Miss two free throws that could've won the game. Only needed to hit one of them in the first overtime. Couldn't do that. Can't get a rebound. I don't know what. I don't know what Spostra is like seeing out there, but like the heat can't get a rebound and you know, they got a seven footer on the bench that could make me help with that. But no, no, let's not play him Spostra. Like we didn't all see. So bonus getting an offensive rebound to basically put a dagger in the heat. Like we didn't all see that. How Spost? Let me ask you a question real quick, Spost. How much money are you getting paid to coach again? Because last time I checked out, I don't get paid anything actually. I don't get any paychecks from the heat and I could've told you that that was exactly how that game was gonna end. Another question for you, Spost. If I'm mind, do you mind if I ask you two questions, Spost, is it okay if I do that? You have a guy on your team by the name of Terry Rosier, right? Why do you continue to give him minutes if he sucks? Can you answer that from me, Spost? See, maybe that's why I can't get media credentialed because that is exactly how I would ask questions in the post-game press conference. But that's the questions that need to be asked because Terry Rosier is one of the worst players I've ever seen in my entire eyes. With every single game he just inches closer to Moharkless territory for heat fans. And he's creeping up there, he's so, so, so close because he sucks. The amount of wide open threes he just bricks is unbelievable. Let's go through the recap of this game, man. I was excited to talk about this one. Oh, I was so excited, man. I had a lot of notes. We were gonna go through all these great plays. You had some collier wear plays. You had the collier, which I was so excited. And now I don't even get to do that. I had the highlights already clipped and downloaded. I was gonna put them in this video. What's the point now? 'Cause none of it matters. And my last post-game video, I was so depressed. I was so unfiltered, I didn't even bleep it out 'cause it was a bunch of cursing 'cause I was mad. You lost by 40 points to the seven and 25 Utah Jazz. And I didn't wanna do that again, especially at 1 a.m. But here we are. Here we are. I'm not gonna let myself crash out though. Why? Why crash out over things that you one can't control until you know are bound to happen. Why do it? I don't know. I don't know. Let's go through my all my notes. I wasted my time taking the notes. Might as well go through them. Of course, you had Jimmy Butler missing his second game of his seven game suspension. He did post some videos and pictures to his IG story. He was working out with Heat Trainers. I guess that's good because you're now 0-2 in the Jimmy Butler list era. And it hasn't been good. Spent two very embarrassing losses. The game got off to a weird start. You had the Kings coach. He called a timeout, literally 14 seconds into the game to challenge, won the challenge. And then like two minutes later, Spolstra called a challenge. And then it was a foul on Tyler Hero. But then they overturned the foul on Tyler Hero. But then gave him a technical foul. The referee was on some BS all night. And that's only a 10% reason he lost his game. So I'm not blaming the refs, but they were awful. Because I know Sabonis had about 1,000 rebounds today. But half of those was him grabbing and pushing bam. I will just say that. But anyways, Tyler Hero did get off to a strong start. I liked what I saw from him. He was getting blitzed like crazy. Like we've seen, you know, teams due to him recently, the Rockets and Jazz in particular. And it wasn't working. Because Tyler Hero was reading these double teams very well. He was finding the open man. And because that, some other guys were a little bit-- were at least able to cook. And Tyler also had them terrified, like with regards to his jumper. Because those dudes were jumping all over the place, like a bunch of pop tarts. Every time Tyler Hero pumped fake, they were just flying everywhere. Now, where was that Tyler Hero in either overtime? Because he had zero points. I don't know. But that's called foreshadowing. Because we'll get into that later. It's not even foreshadowing. It's exactly what happened. But anyways, Bam and Abao got off to a rough start, as he usually does. I guess we should say a typical start, because that's what Bam and Abao is now. He's not a good player anymore. There was one stretch where he hit three straight buckets, kind of nice lob from Duncan, had a steel and floater. And then he hit his first three-pointer, and like his last 17 attempts. And then he pulled the transition midi in the next play. And I liked it. I liked the aggressiveness. But then basically every single shot he took after that was short, was way short. Why is it short? You're a six-nine big man with supposedly a lot of strength. Break all the heat records, the heat weight room record, supposedly, that's what I was told. But yet you can barely get the ball to hit the rim, and then you get an out-muscled by Sabonis. So if Bam and Abao is breaking the weight room records from Miami, what does Sabonis lift twice as much as Bam? Because he was ragged on the Bam today. But anyways, the bad in the first half though, is that he had seven turnovers. Of course, Malik Monk, random scrub, he'd get a lot of famer. Had 15, he was cooking. But the heat went only down three at the half. They had a really great defensive third quarter. Roseer even got going a little bit. Finally hit a couple buckets there. Bam finally was aggressive when attacking Sabonis, who had like three fouls all game, ended with five. But he probably could have found out a lot earlier if Bam did the same aggressiveness all game. Because my problem with Bam and Abao is when he tries to attack guys, he always ends it with a fade away, or leaning his body away from the defender and going to a hook. That's soft, that's really, really soft. I really like how Nicole Yovish does it, where he actually is using his body and going straight up into a defender. And it's weird to think about because with Yovish, you think of more of a finesse outside player. But he's been using his body really well. And I do like that from Nicole Yovish. He's been aggressive on his drives and post touches. I wish Bam would do that. Because seriously, what's Bam and Abao next time he's trying to attack? He fades away every time he gets the contact. And that's just frankly soft, right? But Tyler here had a good third quarter also. He was very crafty, finishing at the rim. He's finishing this year at the basket has been awesome. I really have been making that a point of emphasis all season. And that was helping turn the heats defense into offense. Because obviously their fast breaks kind of suck. But when it was a one man show with Tyler here, it actually wasn't too bad. You also got a nasty Kalu aware lob from Duncan Robinson. You love to see that. And then Heywood Highsmith actually had a buzzer beater to end the third quarter. That put the heat up 10 going into the fourth. And then you start the fourth quarter. Things are looking great. Nicole Yovish back to back buckets. One of them was a steal and slam. The heat started the fourth quarter up seven for seven. Kalu aware made some really nice defensive plays. He was kind of getting embodied by Sabonis all night. But that's going to happen. Obviously he's a rookie. He still needs to put on some weight for Bam. There's no excuse for that. But Ware still did make some nice plays. And how may Hawke has really started cooking at this point. Got a bunch of baskets at the rim. The heat got up as much as 17. And then that's where my boy texted me. He's saying, he's saying, y'all do the heat looking good. And I told him he's one of my sports betting buddies. We like to send the parlays back and forth. I told him to smash the king's money line. He said, why? I said, because I know the Miami heat, he's not a heat fan. But I told him, I said, smash the king's money line. They were like a plus five 25. He didn't do it. I did do a little bit on it. But I also took the heat money line earlier in the game. So they canceled each other out. But anyways, I knew they were going to come back. And sure enough, Sacramento went on an 11-0 run. And he texted me, he's like, damn, you were right. I said, I know. And then you get Tyler Hero. He hit an absolutely desperation three to stop the bleeding temporarily. And we're all saying, oh, Tyler Hero, this is why he's an all-star. Because he's hit shots like this. And then he was on a milk carton. The rest of the game, because he disappeared. Where the hell did he go? I don't know. If you know, let me know. I'm still looking for him. Where you at all star Tyler Hero? You were terrible last game in the first game without the Jimmy Butler era. And today you were good when it didn't matter. Late in the game, I seen one shot from you. I don't know where you at other than that. You had two chances to hit a game winning regulation. Didn't do it. You're airballed the second one. Where were you at today? I don't know. I still think Tyler Hero should make the all-star team. I still love him. Just because I'm being critical of a guy does not mean that I can not love him. I love everyone on the heat. I actually really do. Even as much as I criticize Bam, I do love him too. But he obviously deserves the most criticism this year. But Tyler Hero deserves criticism for tonight too, because he really disappeared when the game matters most. And if you are truly an all-star, you make plays late in the game just like the Martin Rosen did. And today Tyler Hero didn't do it. Because he basically couldn't get a rebound for the rest of the quarter. Murray, Keegan Murray started cooking too. He hit a monster three. And then he got an eight second violation. How do you get an eight second violation? The other team's on a monster run. And you can't even get the ball pass half court. And that was on Tyler Hero. He's sitting there walking up the court. How may Hakaz did sort of crowd him. And how may his defender kind of made it difficult for Tyler. But Tyler just really had no clock awareness. He could have gotten that ball over. But he didn't. An eight second violation. When do you ever see those? Almost never. So that was one more possession that the Heat wasted there. And then basically to Tyler and tomorrow, they exchanged misses for game winners. It would go to OT to actually leave the Heat got off to a good start to the first overtime. Terry Rosier hit a three somehow. Hey, would Highsmith got fouled, right? Could have put the Heat up four. Or he put the Heat up four with the first free throw. Could have put us up five. Air ball to free though. But then Malik Monk airballed on the other end. So I'm saying, okay, no harm, no foul. He was actually going to come away with an overtime win. But then a couple of plays later. So bonus hits a three. You know why? Because he's an all star. So he makes plays for his team. Where Bam and Abayo just gets out, rebounded by Sabonis. That's kind of how it works if y'all didn't see the game. But then anyways, Terry Rosier misses a wide open three. Gets the rebound, misses a wide the hell open layup. Gets the rebound again. And then this time gets fouled. He does make both free throws. So shout out to him for that. And then the Kings will go ahead and go for the win. And then Hayward Highsmith blocks Malik Monk for the win. And I'm saying, damn, let's go. That's what I'm talking about Hayward Highsmith. It's a big play. But then the Heat get the ball with a chance to win. And Homme hot kids gets fouled. Because Homme gets the rebound on the Hayward Highsmith block among Homme gets fouled, right? So Heat up one. Homme has a chance to hit both free throws, making a three point game. Worst that happens double overtime. Homme breaks both free throws on a night that he's playing incredible. So then Kings come down to core. Key on Ellis, punk fakes bam out of his shoes. Because bam, for some reason, thinks he needs to run wildly to contest the Key on Ellis shot. I don't know why. So he has a chance to hit both free throws to win the game. But Key on Ellis splits free throws. And he's an 87% free free throw shooter. So the Heat do catch a break. The game will go into double overtime. The Heat had like 0.9 seconds left to get a shot off. Couldn't happen bam. Couldn't hold onto the ball. Or Yovitch kind of forced the inbound to bam. But it was less than a second left. It was tough anyways. But then in double OOT, terrible basketball. I mean, the Marta Rosen was playing like an all-star. And on the other hand, you had Terry Rosier breaking wide ass open threes. And then the Heat actually got an offensive rebound. Back at the Terry Rosier. Again, missed a wide ass open three. He did not understand it now. Safe to say. And that was basically a game. I mean, the Marta hit a monster three. Hey, what Heisman actually matched it. To keep it a sort of a two-point game. The Heat really couldn't score. Bam had a couple tough ones roll in and out. I will admit. But yeah, that was your game. So here we go. Heat wastes my time. Three game losing streak. 0 and 2 in the Jimmy Butler suspension now. And it's 1 a.m. And I'm pissed off. Let's go through the box score real quick. Highsmith, 14 points. Pretty good today. Actually got a little bit of his offensive game back. Shout out to Kamehamehamehake's junior. 16 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists. His first career, triple double. Don't care. Like I said earlier, make your free throws. Bam and Abao did get 18 and 12. But he shot 31% from the field. You are 6'9", Bam and Abao. You are supposed to get to the rim. You cannot shoot 31% from the field. But y'all know how this whole song and dance goes. I'm not going to go through this every single game. Because the fact that the reality is, maybe I'm expecting too much from Bam and Abao. Because he's clearly not a good offensive basketball player. That's it. He sucks on the offense event. And to pay a guy 60 million who sucks at 50% of the game, I would say is a bad thing to do. But damn, it's just done, my friend. What else we got at Tyler here? 26.74, 11 of 25 from the field. So 44%. The stat sheet looks OK. Tyler here certainly kept this team in it for a long time. But down the stretch, once again, nowhere to be found. Taylor was there at 18.7 boards, shot 6 to 15. So it doesn't look all that bad. But he sucks. He was getting left open all game. And when you are blitzing Tyler here or like that, when you have two guys boxing out Bam, Taylor will zero is going to be wide open. You cannot shoot 40% when all your shots are wide open. Moving on. Duncan Robinson, 8 points. Jovitch 12 points, like we say, the guy going in the fourth. And Khalil where I got six points in his 13 minutes. Outside of that, you had Pella with five minutes. Why you got no Alec Burbs today? Actually, I don't know. That's a weird thing. Whatever. What do you want to do? I mean, Malik Monk didn't even shoot efficiently today, but he had 23. So bonus himself had a triple double in. I mean, yeah, tomorrow is really your guy today. 30 points hit all the big shots down the stretch. I don't know. I don't know where to go from here. I think that he played again tomorrow nights. So now you have a first night of a back-to-back that goes to double overtime because you can't close the game out when you have a 17-point lead. And now you got to go on to go to stay tomorrow and get your ass kicked again. So whatever, make a trade, trade everyone for all I care 'cause I don't appreciate 6,000 subscribers, y'all. That was dope. That happened yesterday. I wish I could have had a more upbeat video to celebrate that, but we'll find time to do that. Regardless though, I cannot let it go by without thinking y'all for all the support. Since case subs is super awesome, truly my dream is to do YouTube full-time one day. So genuinely, the support that we have here is so cool to me. It's the most cool thing. So I love the community we're building here. Like, I greatly appreciate the support. If you wanna help me grow the channel, make sure to subscribe. You know, we're on the ground to 7K, I guess now. So also comment. Let me know your thoughts in the game. We'll have plenty of days to talk about this or not. He played tomorrow, so I guess I'll see y'all then. Peace out. (hip hop music) (hip hop music) - My dad works in B2B marketing.
