That's what Bama the Bao is going to pay this season, and season after next $50 million, close to $60 million by the time his contract ends. Wow, the Miami Heat just lost 36 points by one of the worst teams in the league. I think that was probably one of the worst regular season games I've ever seen in my entire light. I have the red light behind me today because that's how I'm feeling. I'm wearing all black, not for the Miami Heat funeral, although it certainly should be because this team is absolutely dead in the water. But no, I'm wearing black because I just came back from my cousin's engagement party, and they had sort of a black formal theme. If you all saw my video I posted earlier today regarding the Jimmy Butler extension. I told you all that I was in Broward County today, and I was making the drive back to Fort Myers tonight. So of course I had my girl drive so I could watch the game of my phone when in reality I probably could have just drove because I missed absolutely nothing. I mean this game versus Utah Jazz was almost an exact replica of the Indiana Pacers game because the heat really got blown out from start to finish. I think the heat might have had to leave a little bit early in the game, but they got down nine I think in the first quarter and never really never really made any ground. I don't even know what I want to do with this video. I don't know what I want to do but I want to crash out because I'm certainly pissed, but I also really don't give a shit anymore about this roster. I really don't. Now of course I still care about this team that that's why I'm pissed, but I don't know where I'm supposed to go because quite honestly this team is fucked. They're fucked and it's just ridiculous when you think about the changing vibes from a week ago. Of course when the heat had that game versus Houston Rockets that that's the win they had on the road that's probably the most lit I was after a game in a long time. I was thrilled. I was very excited and I said we know this heat season is roller coaster full of ups and downs not just this season really this this just heat core in general right they they've been a roller coaster for years now and I said I understand I'm happy now and we'll probably have a downtime coming very soon, but who the hell could have thought it would be this low seriously since that time you've had a Jimmy Butler trade request you've had things get very ugly between him and the front office and you've had essentially you've essentially lost all your hope between the young guys on your roster Tyler here wasn't good today but I don't really want to get on him for tonight because he's been he's been great all season he should still make the all-star team although tonight didn't necessarily help his case but whatever he's been great but bammit about man he is turning into one of my least favorite players in heat history he's he's awful relative to his contract and it pains me to say because I truly love bammit about for a very long time now I've had his picture it's actually a signed photo of him right behind me here on the wall I love bammit about and defensively I always said he was the best in the league I said people don't understand how great he is on that side of the ball just because he doesn't get the statistics but his impact on this team is sensational and I'm not gonna sit here and act like he has had or he hasn't had amazing moments throughout his heat career you know he's been he's had sensational playoff games he's had great games first Boston in the playoffs in 2020 he was the best player in that series he's had great games in Boston several years after that a couple times you were missing Jimmy Butler and he's been great and of course we've seen him carry this team through stretches a lot and even last year in particular I think he was pretty great for most of the season really took a huge jump but this past off season he signs his max extension and he comes into this season and for a lack of a better term he completely shits the bed and the reason that this game in particular is very frustrating because it was a golden opportunity to make a statement game by Tyler hero and bammit about and to not only not show up but to get completely and utterly embarrassed to the highest degree has got to be one of the most disgraceful performances I've ever seen by a Miami Heat team or its players because bammit about was asked about Jimmy Butler of course multiple times over the last couple of days and bam gave the right answer we got to worry about the guys who are here is disappointing but I'm ready to go and you would think if these players had any sort of hearts or any sort of guts they might have taken it personal a little bit what Jimmy Butler has been saying you know there's been a lot of rumors that he's not happy with the roster and want some more help and he doesn't think they could win a championship here but then in the shams article Jimmy shams wrote that Jimmy wants to be traded anywhere by Miami because he can believe he believes he can make any team of contender except the Heat I guess so do his teammates not see that do they not get offended by that and say damn Jimmy really thinks that we're chopped liver Jimmy Jimmy really quit on this team because he doesn't believe in us you would think you guys would want to bounce back today and say we'll show you Jimmy particularly against a god-awful Utah jazz team that has the second worst defense in the league is 7 and 25 from a record standpoint has lost seven straight games and is just genuinely awful one of their best players is Jordan Clarkson was hurt today barely even played the game obviously I know they got Larry Markin and Walker Kessel and I got some good guys over there for sure and I don't want to take a take away credit from them at all I don't like doing that but this is a a golden opportunity for a heat team and and I want to say they blew it they didn't blow it they just what what is the worst possible adjective you could use to describe something because that's how I want to describe this game uh Spolster thinks he's getting cute before the game oh we got a surprise starting lineup while thinking oh it's Khalil Ware finally playing this would be the time to do it the Utah jazz start damn there three seven footers with Kessler marking in and then you know John Collins who six nine they got a monster starting lineup you would think hey just this tonight to play Khalil Ware no he puts Hayward Highsmith that's starting three and Taro's there at the one he also sucks uh now I do like Hayward Highsmith at the three I didn't even play him at some some two guard truthfully but if you don't want to start Khalil Ware then that's fine but then to not even play him this game is insane I think that he got out rebounded in the second quarter 16 to one I mean do you want to look at the rebound numbers real quick today because first off rebounding of course it goes with size and stuff but it's also an effort thing they they literally talked in this game about boxing out Eric Reid had John cry to give the definition of boxing out because I guess he was hoping that the heat team was listening because clearly the heat don't know because that's an effort thing so I understand the heat are a much smaller team than the Utah jazz but to get killed on the boards by the disparity that they did shows complete and utter quit by a team today the Miami Heat finished or today the Utah jazz finished with 57 rebounds to Miami Heat's 32 and then the Utah jazz on a whole had 16 offensive rebounds good god that's another 16 offensive possession for the Utah jazz you know the heats I think only scored 40 points at halftime against one of the worst defenses in the entire league and then on top of that also gave up over 60 points at halftime to one of the worst offenses in the entire league that's a team that quit you were down 22 at halftime and I'm thinking okay if you can make a run in this third quarter as you should the NBA's the game runs every team makes a run but not the Miami Heat the Miami Heat got out scored in the third quarter today 36 to 25 so they go from a game that was a 22 point game to just a complete complete blowout got down as much as 40 fucking 5 to this team let's go through the box score because I'm pissed they started this third quarter literally bam at a bile split a pair of free throws because he can't shoot free throws no more and then they found the Utah jazz they get walker keselism it's both free throws and then they get and then the jazz get an offensive rebound kick out the library mark and who hits the three because Terry Rosier decided to go under a screen that guy sucks too just no effort at all and of course that set the tone for the rest of the game just like the Pacers game the Heat came out uh I came out of halftime I have to get him blown out and gave up like three offensive rebounds in the first three minutes that's no effort what is supposed to be talking about at halftime I love Spoh man I really do and I'll love him forever but he he does not have control of this team that's the facts and if it's not his fault then you got a team full of bums who don't care it's got to be one of the other because for this to happen after everything that was said about the squad in the last week is ridiculous after the way they got their ass kicked last game to perform like this is ridiculous man let's let's look at this this just pitiful box score I don't care about Heyward Highsmith Nicole Ljovitz actually thought he was he was good today obviously nobody's plus minus is great he was a minus 20 but he definitely showed some flashes early on and he's been good this season he had 17 points today whatever but bamet about today four points and eight rebounds that's how to have a seven rebounds in the first quarter mind you and his field goals today oh for a fucking six was bamet about let me pull up his contract again for y'all that for for those of y'all that might not have hurt me when I started this video bamet about this year is making 35 million dollars 37 million dollars that you have to that then has a then has a three-year 165 million dollar extension kick in that's going to pay him 51 million 55 million and 60 million dollars a year after that at the age of 31 years old oh boy but you tell people on twitter oh bam needs to do better and they say oh you don't understand he does so much on the defense side of oh you have an untrained eye I don't have an untrained eye I've been watching basketball for 15 years now I've been studying the game I played a game almost every goddamn day I know the game okay when you and I know that bam is great on the defense side of ball but when you get in paid that kind of money when you have the whole front office saying that you the guy saying that you the culture carrier saying that you the next de-wade you gotta do better than this and we've been very critical of bamet about this year because he's had a lot of stinkers like he had today but you could you always have people excuse that it's always just a bad game how are you going to criticize him when he's bad and then and then not say anything when he's good which is not true I always give people credit when they have a good game last game you actually had 20 20 points the mid the main shot was falling but to not do it in today's game is absolutely astronomically I need to look up some adjectives here I don't even add adjectives for awful because that's that's what it is that's what bamet about I can't even think of the words here we go horrible dreadful terrible appalling horrendous disgusting shocking obnoxious offensive nasty I like offensive that's how I feel today that's how I feel watching bamet about I feel offended that I would sit here and defend this guy year after year and for him to come into a game like today supposed to be the guy zero shots six shot attempts I am so done with him I'm so done this is a performance where if you were a head coach you're fire a guy you don't let him on the plane ride back home with a bus ride back home it's one of those performances no more excuse no more excuses no more excuses for bamet about not tonight not against this trash ass jazz team who I know is very big and I know he's asked to do a lot out there but zero field goals is disgusting there's no no fucking heart from the guy none and they say he's the culture carrier I'm offended that they would even tell us that as he fends I really really am offended got a getting out played by Walker Kessler today well to to ban his four points and eight rebounds Walker Kessler 14 point 16 rebounds 85 percent from the field but bamet about bamet about the culture carrier my fucking ass he fucking sucks what else we got Tyler here today 15 point six rebounds he sucked today you would have liked to see him bounce back for the same reasons that that we were talking about bam no Jimmy Tyler here wants to be an all-star all we took a major leap this season oh do it today do it when you got everyone but you got the whole world staring at your roster what the hell you gonna look like without Jimmy Butler first game with a new era where we are now in the post Jimmy Butler era he'll never play a game for the heat again I talked about that in this morning's video so everyone's watching he oh what is our future gonna do today it's Jimmy and Tyler or it's bam and Tyler that's our future and they were they respond with 19 total points on four of 18 shooting that's our fucking future yeah you kidding me our future bow the whole team up how can a front office watch this and watch this effort of the team and then you had a report today or the heat still believe Boston is beatable okay what about the Utah Jazz do you think they're beatable because you just got 40 piece but m terrible's here today had eight points he was four and nine that guy is one of the most frustrating players I've ever seen in my life and I watched bamet about I played a game of basketball you got a lot of you got a lot of minutes for the young guys today that was fun uh Kishad Johnson y'all know who's my boy had some great plays late had a nice block early on when it was theoretically still a game so Kishad got seven points Khalil where 12 I mean Duncan and Homie they got you some buckets late but I don't care about those guys it was nice to see Josh Christopher get some run two 14 minutes from him but I'm excited about a lot of those young guys at some elite squad I think most of those guys that are really all them I think they really have good NBA futures ahead for them uh but uh if that's the case you let it be now like just play all those guys now because this heat team's not going anywhere but they don't want to tank why why because before Jimmy Butler you were stuck in mediocrity and after Jimmy Butler looks like you're gonna be stuck in mediocrity again so why not just tank because today you are awful and sure the heat might blow out whoever the hell they play nice I don't even know who it is we'll check we'll check the schedule real quick um I knew I do know that go on a west coast road trip for a while and then Jimmy's essentially suspended until that west coast road trip is over uh I guess six games from now but the next game is Sacramento geez they got Sacramento in the Golden State on the back to back so they got a day off and then they're back at it uh Monday in California so for all we know that he could win those two games but I'm not gonna have any hope in them because they might lose the next six after that because that's what this team does because our future is a bunch of average to to bum ass players that's what our future is depending on the night they don't got no great players on this team they don't I don't know I don't know if there's anything else I want to say about this video I'm pissed as Pat Riley said in the press conference a few years ago he slammed the table I'm pissed you want to trend something trend that fucking sorry that's team I just I just I don't understand with everything that was I really thought they were gonna come out with an inspiring performance I really really really thought they were gonna do that no I don't know I'm gonna start rambling here it's just I'm trying to to make sense of what we saw today that's why I'm rambling and I can't I can't do it I don't even feel like fucking bleeping this video y'all y'all might just hear the curse words on this one because that's what this team deserves even john cride and he agreed I don't ask for words anyways I don't know if you're optimistic about this team let me know down below it's very possible that I'm overreacting again because there's a lot of that in these videos when you get this instant reaction without time the process you're gonna get a lot of overreaction that's just the reality of it uh in this team is not as bad as they play tonight I also acknowledge that but I think they're average that's what they are the perpetual cycle three games over 500 back at 500 three games over back at 500 they're playing team that's the case blow the whole thing to hell up and start over that's how you get out of it make sure y'all like and subscribe I'm less than 50 subs away from 6k which is dope I appreciate you if y'all watching this video out y'all real ones so as much as this
