Are the Miami Heat the best fake playoff team ever?
Hello? I mean, what the fuck? Who is this? I mean, this is Doc. Oh, shit. What's up, man? What the fuck did you tell me? I'm not following. Levitar does a whole show and doesn't even mention my name. Hey, that's not true. I brought you up on weekend observations two weeks in a row. Yeah, yeah. You said I got fired. I did not get fired. I retired of my own volition. You're out here spreading inaccurate reports like sobs. Where's Lodrin? You need him.
Oh.
I don't know. He's probably shoveling snow or some shit. Look, what do you want me to do about it, man? It's not my fault you had a shitty season. Yeah, yeah. It's not going to be Blake's fault when I whoop your ass. Oh, easy, killer. Why don't you go hit up your son and you guys can wax poetic about how it's everyone else's fault you're out of a job. Whoa. Whoa. Do not lump me in with him.
What is the energy like outside the Kaseya Center before the game?
You're right, man. That was a low blow. My bad. But seriously, what do you want me to do? Hold on, Doc. I got someone on the other line. Hello?
Hello?
President Obama? How'd you get my number? I'm flattered, Mr. President, but I think he actually retired. Hold on, Mr. President. I think this is actually Doc on the other line. Hello? Well, I mean, who is this? It is me, Fibula. Oh, shit. What's up, Fibula? Nothing. I'm just calling on behalf of my good friend, Doug Rivers. And I want you to know that he totally retired completely under his own free will. Nobody actually tried to talk him out of retiring. He said, no, no, it's time for me to go. And yeah, everything you hear about him getting fired, totally untrue. Yeah, yeah, he called me too. I got you. Yeah, well, I mean, we don't really have a relationship, so I guess I got to go now. Yeah, I love you too.
What? What?
How does playoff experience impact the Heat's chances?
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
I've told Amin that fibula needs to be limited as a character. It cannot have long speaking roles. It has to be very quick. We have the biggest game in the Miami Heat season tonight. Don't make that face, Mike Ryan. The biggest game... You tell the Hornets tonight's not a big game. The Hornets never get to play games that are this important. Last time they did, they had a purple shirt guy, and we still remember him for wearing a purple shirt because Dwayne Wade embarrassed him. That's the biggest playoff moment Charlotte's ever had.
Big game for the Hornets, no doubt.
What a night that was. Let's relive that. What a night 10 years ago. Purple shirt guy, sit down.
Actually, it's not the biggest moment in Charlotte history, right? Alonzo Mourning hit a buzzer beater to win a playoff game, did he not? Was he not on the court?
Against the Celtics, game four, that is correct. 1994-ish, maybe? It's like 20-some-odd years ago.
Well, but they don't have any playoff memories. Like, they've got Jamal Mashburn, but their playoff memories all involve the Heat. Jamal Mashburn, a former Heat player, that's their best playoff team ever, is it not?
Oh, when they killed us?
Yeah, when they killed the Anthony Mason Alonzo Mourning team. Is that not the best Charlotte team there's ever been?
I drove down from school right to Miami Arena to go to that game. The Heat got killed.
What are the implications of winning versus losing for the Heat?
That was not a good experience.
I still ask the question again and again, though. Go ahead and name them. All the major moments in Charlotte basketball history, do they involve players that you more associate with the Miami Heat? Like Dwayne Wade in the purple shirt game, Jamal Mashburn, that playoff series, and Alonzo Mourning.
I think also when they were the Bobcats. Josh McRoberts had a really dirty foul on someone on the Heat in the playoffs.
Yeah, the Heat swept the Bobcats, and who can forget LeBron's 60-point game with the mask on. That came at the expense of the Charlotte Bobcats. Wow, two franchises tied together, Dan.
You mentioned Josh McRoberts. He was called here. Josh McRobbed us because they signed him after he showed promise at the end of a season with Charlotte. They signed him and Danny Granger to keep LeBron James here.
Historically, this franchise does have a blind spot when it comes to some Duke guys.
