Why is leadership being discussed in this episode?
I believe that Hawk and Amin are tougher than I am. They have seen me lament and whimper for a while now about, I don't think I'm a good leader. I'm bad at leadership.
And I'm looking today from the 10th floor of this building in a very nice gym and I'm seeing walk across the street. OK, I got Danny Benitez. I got Mally lugging a bunch of equipment and I got Fuentes leading the charge. And they had to park at Bayside because I didn't know when we started this that parking would be really hard in in downtown Miami. And I'm looking down there at them and I'm like, you know what? I'm starting to like my team. They're three little gorillas walking across the street carrying a bunch of equipment. It took me four years. I'm like, I haven't liked my team for four years. But I'm liking that they care like that because I have said for a while, you give me people who care and we'll try and figure out how it is that we make something with them. And I've been thinking a lot recently because Jimmy Johnson's career is over and he chose one path at 50, right? Jimmy Johnson at 50 years old said, okay, I don't like what this shit does to me.
What are the challenges faced by the Miami Heat?
I'm gonna go be in a department over there. But Pat Riley chose to stay with it for the next 30 years. And now the whole machine comes for Grandpa. Because the way they lost against Cleveland last night, where even Spoh looks bad, where you're like, what are they doing at the end of the game with those rotations? And what they're doing is, they're not very good. And they're trying to figure it out. And when Tyler Hero's out, it's like, what the hell? We got Terry Rozier to do this.
Thoughts and prayers for Tyler Hero. He had a vicious head cold. Wow, that's scary.
That's his attempt at like, well, a hockey player would have AIDS and still play. No, no, no, no.
He's got AIDS. You guys got it. No, that's not what I'm doing. Okay. That's not what I'm doing. It sounded genuine.
It sounded like real concern.
Dan is right to point out their rotation is bad because they're bad. But their rotation is bad because they're holding out Tyler Hero for head colds because it's pretty obvious what's happening here over the last two games is – I think the Miami Heat and its culture are trying to tank.
Is the Miami Heat's strategy to tank this season?
They won the last game they played before this one. A, heads colds are going around. That's number one, something we cannot take lightly and should not take lightly.
Everything's going around.
Everything is going around. Two, the disappointment of, I guess, the way Terry Rozier played last night, which I was made aware of this morning because there's not a person on planet Earth who knows less about the Miami Heat than the guy that you're talking to right now. You do this every day. time you come in here though I don't know anything what happened last oh you guys lost I guarantee you watch them more than I do I promise I only get the heat news when I walk in this building and Terry Rozier but you walk in the building saying hey guys whatever happened with that Jimmy Butler situation I want to know smiling solid troll where did that where did that end up Like, explain to me the last... He's on Golden State now. The last we left it, there was something going on with Pat Riley and a disagreement about should he play, should he not? And I'm like, you know what? We're looking for topics for the show. I don't know if we have time and can fit it in, but where did that land? Dan, do we?
Just because Jeremy was so quick to correct me that they won their last game. Yes, they beat the 12-win Wizards. Yes, they did. Congratulations to them. My apologies.
So the tank, it is a strange thing when you get culture meets tank. And what is the explanation for Terry Rozier playing the entire fourth quarter? Well, he's the worst player in the league statistically. He's shot 26% fouls. from three since January 1st. He's got 33 fouls, 33 turnovers, and 33 threes since January 1st. So you put in your worst player in the league and you aggressively try to lose against Cleveland. But you keep it close because everyone else has to care.
