This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
Well, it's a good thing that we were warned. Good thing we were warned at the beginning of the week where Jeremy walked in here and he told us, don't let the Miami Heat win both games this week. If they won both games this week, that would be a five-game winning streak. All right? If they won both games this week, they'd have been sitting six games over 500. Season best is seven games over 500. Don't let... us win both games this week. And it's a good thing you warned us, Jeremy, because they did not.
What warning did Jeremy give about the Miami Heat's games?
You're welcome. I was prescient. The league took notice and sent out its best in the form of Milwaukee and Philadelphia to make sure the mission was carried out. So who is the one that heeded Tashae's counsel and got in the way of the Heat winning two in a row? It's somebody in this room, I assume. Is it Zaslow? Is he the responsible party? No, I mean, I was on board, you know. I told you the other day, I get sucked in momentarily with this Heat team where, you know, they're looking good to me. I like watching Jaime Jaquez and I like watching Kela Ware. and Kasperis Jokicunis and Pella Larson. I can get into this team. And then they get smoked in the fourth quarter against a bad Milwaukee team. And then last night, they stunk last night.
They stunk last night.
They stunk in the first half. The second half was a close game. It was nip and tuck. It was back and forth. And then I thought... Spoh just stuck with a lineup that wasn't great for a little too long in the fourth. And that's when Philly made its move. And then at the end, when you needed to make every shot and have them not make shots, that didn't happen. And the biggest shot, of course. Well, the big play was the maxi layup where Adam Bona's Just cosplaying as Larry Allen.
Offensive linemen just shoving everybody out of the way.
No call. No call on that. But then the big shot was Embiid hit the shot.
How did the Miami Heat perform against Milwaukee and Philadelphia?
Look, respect. The guy hit a big three. I don't respect. You don't respect it? Nah.
He's been playing great the last 10, 15, 20 games. He's played really, really well.
They're good. That's why you guys say, oh, and then he lost to Philly. Philly's a good team. Philly's a good team.
And really good when they have Embiid. Well, what does that mean, good team? They're going to get to the playoffs. You think they're going to win a series? Well, they're 21-12 when they have Embiid. Okay, answer my question now.
You think they're going to win a series in the playoffs? Maybe. Because the odds are they're going to be injured. That's why we're saying no. Whoa, Tony, get off that ledge, dude. I said maybe. If you told me they were healthy, I'd say yes. I think they could win a series. They could win two series. They could win the East.
Who's the best bet besides the Celtics to get to the finals? From the east? Because as we've discussed all week long now, there is a reason. You know, you can put the mic where you can just not have to make your face awkward. No, I just like to move it around. It gives me gravitas to move it wherever I'm going. It's a power move.
Why does Zazlo need so close to you?
No, Zazlo's got the power move. He has a weird move. He rests his arm atop his coffee. Why are you taking my coffee? Because I want to model your behavior. It's in my elbow. It's not dirty. Zaslow uses his own coffee thing to prop up his elbow. That's a power move. Look how cash I am, everybody. We've discussed the Celtics with trying to reintegrate Jason Tatum. I think it's a little overstated how hard it's going to be for that team that is pretty ripe. But if it's not the Celtics, I mean, who is it?
I mean, people are not going to like this answer. It's the Knicks?
What are the implications of the Heat's recent losses?
The Knicks are the most complete team.
Gosh, they give you so much reason not to believe during the regular season. Yeah, of course. But they did that last year, too.
They did that last year. They got their heads beat in by the Celtics every time they saw them. And then when they saw them in the playoffs, a lot of people are going to revisionist history and say Tatum got hurt.
