00:00Um, it is an eight o'clock tip off tonight from Oklahoma city.
00:03The Miami heat are 14 and a half point underdogs tonight to OKC.
00:16This hurts my heart.
00:18Tyler hero and Jaime Hawkins jr.
00:22From Anthony Chang still listed as questionable, uh, as of yesterday,
00:27they did not travel with the team to OKC, but it was not ruled out
00:30that they could meet up.
00:32So these are, this is some disastrous, but it's down to 13 and a half.
00:36So maybe they think Tyler's coming back.
00:37I don't know, but, uh, I don't know.
00:41I'm just telling you that he is, well, the thunder of I've only
00:44lost nine times this year.
00:45They're 43 and nine.
00:46No, Tyler, I believe they have shoot around.
00:51Um, what time is it?
00:52Okay.
00:53Let's leave.
00:54They got shoot around.
00:55They got all them new guys.
00:56They need to figure some stuff out.
00:57So yeah, they're an hour, an hour behind us.
01:02So I think they have shoot around 10 AM their time.
01:06So it's 11 AM art time.
01:07So maybe we'll next hour, we'll get an update on if the guys made it up there.
01:12Uh, and we'll have a better idea of, of where they stand.
01:14But as of yesterday, they had said that they had not traveled
01:17with the team because of the BGs.
01:23Yep.
01:24Well, we got to keep up with an MVP candidate tonight with no Tyler hero.
01:27That's all.
01:29I mean, it wasn't going to be Tyler.
01:32What do you mean?
01:33Tyler ain't going to be guarding him.
01:35No, he's not going to guard him, but I need somebody else to
01:38get some fricking buckets.
01:39Yeah.
01:41Yeah.
01:41Cause I got to tell you that extraterrestrial was good.
01:44Oh yeah.
01:45He's good.
01:45He's just arms and legs and neck.
01:50Shreven says that he don't have to shoot around.
01:52Shreven says that he don't have to shoot around.
01:53They have brick around
01:58at shoot around.
01:59They build houses for habitat.
02:01Yes.
02:01Spur walks up with a wheelbarrow full of bricks and cement.
02:04He goes, all right, let's get, let's get working boys.
02:07Let's get going tonight.
02:08Uh, six 45 is pre heat with a Solana that gets going for you.
02:13It's down.
02:13Yeah.
02:13So 13 and a half is the line right now.
02:16Last night in the NBA, you had, uh, the Grizzlies being the sons.
02:21One 19 to one 12.
02:22Kevin Durant though, did reach 30,000 career points.
02:27So they gave him the game ball afterwards.
02:29His third quickest sheesh.
02:31You know who the top two are for quickest?
02:35Yeah.
02:37Uh, I'm going to guess LeBron.
02:39Nope.
02:40Really?
02:41Uh, they did top five.
02:44You went on the list.
02:45Kareem.
02:47Yes.
02:48And
02:55wilt.
02:59Um, actually it was wilt, not Kareem.
03:03Sorry.
03:04Oh, my bad.
03:05Number you're, you're missing.
03:06Number two.
03:07Who was number two?
03:09Jordan.
03:11Oh, he was good.
03:12Yeah.
03:13He, um, I want to say we'll did it in 941 games.
03:18Jordan did it in nine 60 and Kareem and, um, Kareem and KD did it in 1101.
03:29Ooh.
03:30That's you guys see, you guys see him bead blow it last night.
03:36But what'd he do?
03:37No.
03:37Oh, yeah.
03:39He had a, he had a, he had a terrible turnover late in the game where, uh,
03:45and, and just like fumble the ball.
03:46Like he had the ball, like top of the key.
03:48They're like, all right, big fella, do what you're going to do.
03:50And just like, he starts driving towards the rim and goes, lost the basketball.
03:56It was great.
03:57They all started moving them.
04:00Did he try to pretend like he was fouled?
04:02You know him.
04:03He's just clumsy trying to like, look like he's falling all over the place.
04:06But you know, it's hard to be a fluid seven footer, which is why, like, when
04:12you look at Kalel and you look at KD and you look at all of these and even
04:17Joe rich looks awkward, but right.
04:21He doesn't move fast enough to, to, to get into some of the positions
04:25that the other guys get into.
04:28Yeah, I get you.
04:29Yeah.
04:29I mean, like he's killed.
04:31Kalel definitely has a fluidity and a prettiness to his game offensively
04:35that I think is going to be really fun to watch develop, uh, be fine, you
04:39know, especially, you know, if Eric's poster, you know, goes back to tall
04:42time and we can have some fun, baby, you know, maybe you want to do
04:44that against this team spell.
04:45I don't know.
04:46One of the biggest teams in the league, that's just me.
04:47I don't know.
04:48I'm just, you know, spitballing here.
04:49What do I, I'm not a basketball savant.
04:52I've had, I've had the hardest time with sport this year, right.
04:59With some of the decisions he's made.
05:02And then, like I said, I don't know more to him.
05:04I'm not claiming to, but this just seems like a period in time where some of your
05:15young guys should be developing on the fly because once your team becomes young,
05:23you ain't got time to baby them into it.
05:28You need, you know, teachable moments and stuff like that to where, look, you're
05:33going to be playing 30 minutes.
05:34This is what you need to do.
05:36And, and, you know, Colelle going from 30 minutes to 12 minutes to 15 minutes to
05:4420, like some people have a hard time of handling that and Spoe makes it sound
05:52like if you play for the heat, it's part of the deal, you got to just know how to
05:56handle it.
05:57Everybody's not good at that.
06:00I'm curious to see if Tyler does play tonight or he doesn't play tonight.
06:04Is there any, is, is Spoe going to go with that same lineup to start the game?
06:09Or is he going to maybe insert Duncan Robinson, you know, to give him a little
06:12bit more, a little bit more juice on the spacing.
06:15You need a drive and a kick, right?
06:18Um, and, and I think Tyler is, has been a good facilitator either with the alley
06:25with the alley you to kick out to the three.
06:28So you got to have a three point shooter out there.
06:31Yeah.
06:31But Duncan's good at that.
06:32Like Duncan is good at setting up pigs on stuff.
06:34Like there's a good, he's grown a lot of that, but that's what I'm saying.
06:38Don't does it.
06:40And Tyler does it like Berks isn't going to do that.
06:42Berks is strictly going to be out there shooting, right?
06:45Even though I know, I know like Alex Burks net rating with the heat is
06:48very, very good this year.
06:49It's not really a shot at them.
06:50I'm just curious.
06:51Like, I don't know.
06:52It just feels like Duncan Robinson gets lost in the shuffle and all this,
06:55with, uh, with, with the, the heat is Heywood Highsmith going to get benched
06:59again, um, like really, really leaned into the new guys in the last game.
07:04The, the dunks thing is crazy to me.
07:09Like a guy who got to 500 threes quicker than anybody in the history of the NBA is
07:20having a hard time finding time on a team that can't score.
07:27Yep.
07:28That that's make it make sense.
07:29It makes it right.
07:30Make it make sense.
07:32Davion Mitchell.
07:33Somebody asked early in the chat.
07:34Is he any good at scoring?
07:36He'll tell you very underrated at scoring.
07:38He's not a, he doesn't feel like he gets the respect he deserves.
07:42He was Davion Mitchell after the game.
07:43Yeah.
07:43I mean, I think that being an NBA, um, you kind of get this, uh, this
07:48tag, um, when you really good defensively and you had bad stretches
07:53offensively and where you was before.
07:55And now it's like, Oh, he can't play offense.
07:58Um, I think I can, I'm a really good playmaker.
08:00I've shown it before, even when I was with the Kings, but it is what it is.
08:04Um, I feel like I can make plays.
08:06I can get by my man.
08:07Um, I can make layups.
08:09I can, I can do a lot of things, um, but I got to make them
08:13tonight and it'll be, I'll be fine.
08:15Yeah.
08:15And you didn't say I could shoot the ball.
08:20Not as thick, you know, wait, wait.
08:22When a player says I can make layups, he is kicking the
08:26rocks on that shooting thing.
08:28Not his thing.
08:29He said playmaker though.
08:30He didn't say play maker.
08:32I heard that.
08:33Yeah.
08:34You like, he's a capable shooter in small volume, you know, like
08:37he doesn't take a lot of threes.
08:38He takes under three, three attempts a game.
08:40Like he doesn't, he doesn't shoot the ball very much.
08:43That's not his thing.
08:44He's a defensive guard.
08:46That's what he's there for.
08:47It does.
08:48He did have a, he did have a career high in assists and he did a good
08:52job in the early goings, especially with his new team, like setting guys up.
08:56Um, I thought his minutes were pretty encouraging.
08:58I would say out of all the guys, I would say out of Wiggins and
09:04Davion, like who had the best debut.
09:06I would probably say Davion Mitchell had the best debut out of everybody.
09:10I mean, because old Kyle is moving in slow motion.
09:14That's just, that's the way he does.
09:16That's the way he does things.
09:18They call him slow.
09:19Him and Kalel can jog down together.
09:22I want this game.
09:25When I look across at OKC and I say, Ooh, they're big.
09:30I want us to look big to do what you got to do.
09:34Spo.
09:36Right.
