Gotta say that Spoelstra did a great interview right after a bad loss and heated confrontation with Butler. He didn't throw any particular person under the bus.... instead he used this incidence as a catalyst for guys to perform better for the remaining of the season. He handled it very well and kept dirty laundry issues in the locker room. Respect for this man.
Bruh what respect he is medicore coach with great roster just look at his coaching during 2016 semis He is puttin winslow on biyombo in game 7 Biyombo proceeds to break hakeems record for playoff rebounds with 26
@@belizeanprincessAri dude he's pissed because heat choked to the Lakers bucks and now couldn't beat the 76 and warriors without their best players. Jimmy Butler isn't coming back. There is blame being thrown and Jimmy ain't goin to stand for it
@@lukacalov1988 bro what are you talking about he's a mediocre coach but he takes teams full of undrafted players to the playoffs and when he has quote on quote good players he's the number one seed I don't think a bad coach helps Max strus hit 5 threes in a game in one quarter not trying to disrespect you just saying man
I like what Stephen A said at the end: “The Heat are good enough to make the Finals, but bad enough to lose in the first round”. As a Heat fan, I agree
I loved seeing Spoelstra fired up like this. He's the smartest X's and O's coach in the game, rarely shows emotion. But the Heat haven't played their best lately. For him to be fired up shows he'll do what it takes to get his team to win.
I’d rather see a team that has built up consistent winning habits throughout the season be frustrated after a two game slip than a team who has built up consistent losing habits throughout the season (Lakers) and seemingly be dispassionate about it. I wish that I saw this kind of passion from the team I root for (Lakers) this season, it at least lets me know that they’re just as bothered if not more by losing. This is a good sign for Miami, they’re 47-26 on the season, the #1 seed in the East at the moment and they’re not content. There’s a positive prognosis the rest of the way for Miami if they continue to show this kind passion on wanting to win games, it will inevitably translate on the court.
@@jamesmoore1396 I promise you they have had many more segments on Giannis than on the entire Miami Heat squad.. lol only KP is consistently shouting out Miami
I mean not really jimmy got in UD face too .. he just got pulled back .. he was initially talking to spo but UD got some too. I don’t know who I would pick between them two
Where was the takeover mentality against the Dubs last night. He disappeared in an important bounce back game. You can slack on D if you carrying the team on the other end.
Yeah against the knicks too it’s sad we lost to the knicks it was looking good but everybody needs to start playing now, Brooklyn would much rather play the bucks or Philly, since they know the heat have an amazing defense. They know they can keep Gianni’s contained and harden shut down and Embiid. The heat last time they played made a comeback big against the nets
I feel like a lot of people are kind of overlooking the heat this year in the east. A lot of people are focusing on the nets, 76ers, bucks, and bulls in the east but I feel like Miami has one of the best rosters in the east and in the NBA. They have a great veteran pg in Lowry, a sniper in Duncan Robinson, a top 15 or top 10 player in Jimmy Butler (who was an MVP Candidate earlier this year before he got injured), a good defensive player in pj tucker, and a Great young center in Bam. On the bench they got an improving Victor Oladipo, a 6th MOTY Candidate in Tyler Herro, great role players in Max Strus, Caleb Martin and Gabe Vincent, a good veteran big in dewayne dedmon, a tough nose player in markieff Morris (even though he can play dirty sometimes), a rookie in Omer Yurtseven who has a lot of potential, and a great locker room leader in Udonis Haslem. On top of all that, they have one of if not the best coach in the east maybe in NBA today in Eric Spoelstra, and a great president of the team in Pat Riley. In my opinion, they r going to the semi finals and possibly the finals If they all stay healthy.
Saw an infographic on twitter about the Heat. They're 0-16 against the top teams 💀 edit: Oh, that was the bulls. I saw a team with a red logo and scrolled by past it. I thought it was the heat. lmao mb
Nobody is overlooking the Heat. It's just that the Heat do not have that one otherworldly player that will truly strike fear in the hearts of other teams. East is pretty wide open.
They've been losing to teams who are missing their stars. Philly didn't have Harden or Embiid and GS didn't have Klay, Steph or Green. They haven't been playing like a team worth talking about.
@@gustavoalvarado5685 you obviously don't know u.d. he don't play. That man known in dade county for his no play attitude. Butler wasn't running but dude want the smoke. He would give them 14 impactful points. He was always willing to play even undersized against bigger players and defend.
This is just a family feud. Eric is right when he said that Miami Heat team is an incredibly competitive team and if one of your superstars is not showing up on defense, he will hear from Eric Spo.
You ain’t no BKNY Nets fan Up in here giving flowers to our possible first round matchup 🤮 Come on now 😬 Ive seen to much of this sh** on youtube “As a ***** fan” it leads me to believe your a fan of the team your giving flowers to.
@@JoeyBK_86 lol bro relax.. I’m from Newark New Jersey, I been a fan of the nets before they ever went to Brooklyn😂😂 As a coach, I’m A BASKETBALL fan 1st. Which means I love & respects all teams and aspects of the game. I can show love to another team & still love my home team. Let me live !! Much love & respect to you bro 😂
The Heat have been playing extremely well this entire season. Maybe they’re a little fatigued since they are in the 1st seed, but they can’t afford to have a meltdown like this. Especially if they want to win the championship.
Love that Spo is willing to have a go at a superstar to fire up his team. More teams should try establish this player coach relationship where the coach can do whatever he needs to do to get the best out of a superstar knowing he has the full backing of the front office and ownership. Probably won't work with established championship teams, but if you can create a culture of accountability with a young team this is the way to do it. I can only imagine the number of times Vogel has thought in his mind that he'd like to call a timeout and absolutely annihilate LeBron for not getting back in transition, but the front office wouldn't back him if he did it and he'd probably lose his job
Butler wanted to fight Spo tho ... An Haslem wasn't having it.. Only Lebron an Wade would of got no lip from Haslem because he respect them more than Butler
The team has gotten blown out two straight games, I expect some level of frustration out of them. Losing in a competitive game is one thing, but getting blown out is unacceptable if you expect to be a contender. Eric Spoelstra answered the comments and situation masterfully.
Now that we got blown out by Nets, this is a bigger problem than it seems. 4th or 5th game loss straight is a team coordination issue, and my guess is jimmy confronted Spo about it because not all the players are being utilized properly. You have two most hard headed people in the league and this confrontation is gonna spark a huge amount of motivation for the playoffs. Understand to that this is our first slump in the whole season, we never loss more than 3 games until now.
@@thomascalderon598 lol Nobody knows that what that blow up was about. The Heat don't disclose anything to the press. I agree it could be beneficial but however you see it we are playing like 🗑
@@flaviovelasquez4451 yeah, i will not deny that we played like trash, but this is happening at the end of the regular season. But i still believe that Jimmy had to confront spo as the team leader because even he will not allow the team to play so out of sync.
No, this is not about "Amazing depth." The Heat didn't show up. They haven't been playing well lately. Two nights ago, the Warriors lost to Orlando Magic, second worst team in the NBA. Klay and Dray played in that game. Where were you then? Do you know what Draymond said about that loss? You sound like a casual fan.
@@iplaytowin234 doesn't matter. It's not about showing up. Butler still put up 20. That's what he usually does. Bam had 25. Rare. Lowry had 26? When was the last time he scored over 25 you tell me? Warriors were missing half of their roster. It's concerning. Herro was the only true guy that was missing. Only the heat bench played bad. That doesn't come close to the how the warriors were missing 3 of their best players. So yeah the heat aren't going anywhere.
Im a diehard Heat fan … We have been #1 in the East for a while now & Not one time have you guys talked about how good we are & how deep our bench is .. The minute a little fight or argument happens .. Y’all are all over it .. ESPN y’all something else lol
Just because they’re the #1 seed doesn’t mean they’re the best team in the East, they’re not winning a playoff series against a healthy and consistent Bucks or Celtics team, or a Nets team with KD and Kyrie Irving let’s be honest
@@drippyfilms yea idk about that man, if they were really the best team in the East they definitely would have beat the Philadelphia 76ers who didn’t have Joel Embiid or James Harden and the Golden State Warriors who didn’t have Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala or Otto Porter Jr, the Celtics are favored to win the East but even though I’m a Celtics fan myself I think the Bucks are going to repeat
The only bad thing about players and coaches bumping heads is it happened during a game on the sidelines instead of the locker room, the media will always go back this moment if the Heat fold in the playoffs
The amount of respect I have for Spoelstra skyrocketed for the way he handled that afterwards. Also love how PJ just said “wait what happened?” in his presser
@Chris Chris lol how will it be bad coaching that even with a parent they sometimes lose control over their kids Lol . how much more if your just teamates or coach.. you dumb so sit down 🤣
The man has been around Erik Spols, Juwan Howard, and the big man upstairs is Pat Riley for the past few seasons…if he “actually” retires soon, I’d hire him as an assistant coach at least
stop it they are not winning a playoff series against a healthy bucks or celtics team, probably not the nets either as long as they at least have KD and Kyrie, they’re a second round exit
Heat have been in first all season. They have found players no one has heard of to come in and play at a high level. They have been a great story all year and it takes this drama for you clowns to designate a segment to the Heat.
Slight clarification. 10 games into the season the Sixers were in first place and then they got hit with their Covid outbreak and some injuries. The bulls were in first place for a little while as well but yes, the Heat have been near the top of the East consistently all season
The bulls were in first for awhile so we're the nets the heat have been the most consistent team in the East they are the favorites but team drama doesn't help
@Jarret Heller - fair point. Well received. My issue is that the Heat have been near the top with a lot of unexpected contributors but it takes this drama to make headlines.
St. Matthew 7 Judge not, that you may not be judged, 2 For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye? 4 Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam in thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. 6 Give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear you. 7 Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you. 8 For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there among you, of whom if his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone? 10 Or if he shall ask him a fish, will he reach him a serpent? 11 If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your Lord God, the Father who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him? 12 All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also to them. For this is the law and the prophets. 13 Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat. 14 How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it! 15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them. 21 Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Lord God, the Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity. 24 Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock, 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand, 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof. 28 And it came to pass when Lord God, the Great King Jesus Christ had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine. 29 For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees. Word of the Blessed Lord God, the King. Thank You Blessed Lord God, the King and Savior Jesus Christ. All you great numerous enemies; the enemy of the holy death of my Lord God, the King and Master Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary; the prince of darkness and iniquity, the father of all liars; I stand on the death of my Lord and Master Jesus Christ and offer His pains, wounds, and the Precious Blood of His left hand to the Eternal Father Lord God for your downfall, your destruction and your scourging. Amen. Precious Blood of my Lord and Master Jesus Christ - reign in me and in the lives of all men. Amen. O holy loving Father, Lord God, the King of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Who protected the Israelites of old in His holy wings in the dryness of the cold and hot desert; I offer You the holy death of my Master and Savior, Jesus Christ, for the protection of Your people who are scattered all over the world. May the Blood and water wash and strengthen, save and cleanse us that we might find home in the Sacred Side of Your Holy Son that opens for all men. Amen. Sacred Side of Lord God, the King Jesus Christ - be our home for safety. Amen. Omnipotent and Omniscient Lord God, the King, Lord God, the King of Elijah and the prophets, look at the Sacred Head of Your only-begotten Holy Son and have mercy. Arise and save Your people. I offer You all the shame, the pains, the wounds and the Precious Blood from the Sacred Head of Your Holy Son for all Your children who are living in these perilous times. Strengthen our true faith through the mockery of Your Holy Son, Lord Jesus Christ, and save us through the Precious Blood from His Sacred Head. May we, through the sufferings of Your Holy Son, Jesus Christ, learn to suffer in You and die in You. Amen. Holy tortures of Lord God, the King Jesus Christ - increase our true faith. Amen. Merciful and holy loving Father Lord God, the King, Your wish is that all men shall be saved. Kindly look on Your rejected and condemned Holy Son Who suffered many tortures and will suffer many through the sins of Your people. Look and see what sin has done to your only-begotten Holy Son. I offer for all Your people who are living in these ungodly and wicked days, all the tortures, pains, rejection and shame of your Son, Lord Jesus Christ, to You, for the true faith to withstand trials and holy patience to withstand long torture. May they through the suffering of Your only Holy Son, fight to the end. Amen. Our Lord God, Jesus Christ the King's torture - increase our true faith. Precious Blood of Lord God, the King Jesus Christ - save us. Amen.
"Good enough to go to the finals.. But bad enough to get bounced in the first round" Basically describes every team in the Eastern Conference playoffs this year🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
I’ve watched just about every Heat game this year and they have only had 2 Bad losses all year, in the last two games…. as a Heat fan only Milwaukee really scares me in the playoffs. Bos & Philly are tough but Milwaukee has the guys to really defend Bam, Jimmy, and Herro…. Holiday, Giannis, and Middleton can really match them up….
Giannis is a choker. Once you get a guy who can guard him he’s frozen. Once Giannis is doing bad the team sucks. Middleton is just a robin and he’s good sometimes but mostly not that good in the clutch
Miami boston and the bucks are scary. Nets need to prove a lot to be ahead of these three. and for those of you looking at the anomaly of an injury-plagueg and shaky year and a half for the celtics, its been them miami and milwaukee consistently there in the back half of the EC for yesrs
SAS is so right on how this culture works. So I was watching the game and didn't see any of this incident on Bally Sports in South Florida. It was not even televised. All I heard was some tension in the sideline. That's how you know we don't entertain the foolishness
This dude actually said they’re good enough to go to the finals lol good luck believing that they’re not beating the bucks, Celtics or a healthy nets team in a playoff series
@@HervDior I just mentioned that they could lose to the nets in the first round, the Heat are overrated, I highly guarantee they’re not going to the eastern conference finals
@@GD-ib4tn you forgot they were in the finals two seasons ago with almost the same players. It’s good coaching, not always who gets talked about in media.
And this is why I agree with KD so much about media toxicity. The mainstream media will take situations, like this, and completely blow it out of context. What’s the matter? A team having an argument? Let them be. It’s part of sports. I ain’t no Heat fan, but I’m certain that’s what “Heat Culture” is all about (correct me if I’m wrong). LeBron and Chalmers in 2014, Bosh and Chalmers in 2013? The Heat are having a bad run of games, so let them figure it out🤷🏿♂️🤦🏿
it’s honestly pathetic that the heat have been atop the east all year long and only get serious media coverage every now and then, mostly when some drama happens or when they’re being compared to another team. this team really doesn’t get the respect they deserve.
Because stability is usually boring and not worth covering. phoenix is a dozen games up on everyone and doesn't get any coverage either , it's usually a good sign. Media coverage will always be for drama to get views
Spoelstra is one of the best. Coaching is not all x's and o's. A lot of it is managing difficult personalities and motivating players. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the season and playoffs turn out for Miami. The upcoming Nets game is going to be must-see TV for sure.
@@FreeDom-id6yb My point was coaching sucess often involves things other than x's and o's and you talk about his x's and o's. You arent' very bright are you?
@@charleskra and I was making a point, it may not be x's and o's but it CAN'T be AAU plays while other teams are running big boy, professional plays, so even if he manages diverse personalities, you can't be great with AAU plays...I will not address you 'bright' comment...
Spirit, Culture. Ok enough. These are enough to get you to a good position. But to win it all, you can’t have your best player as Jimmy Butler. He is tough, smart but not good enough to be the best player on the championship team. Period
Championship???? Ok you lost me right there. I bet you forgot about the bucks and the celtics. If we’re talking about whether or not the Heat are winning a playoff series as long as either team is healthy and consistent, no chance in my opinion
Jimmy Butler's days in Miami are numbered. Erik Spoelstra has been with the Heat longer than Pat Riley. There is no way Riley will take Jimmy's side. Bradley Beal should demand a trade to Miami over Philly.
Miami is a fringe playoff team w/on Jimmy & no way they can advance w/o him. Why would you want Bradley Beal who has never done anything w/o John Wall & plays a position where you have Herro & a ton of other shooting guards. Y’all guys just be talking.
Yo fam i tip my hat out to you seriously 👏🏽✊🏽 RESPECT! As fan of the Nets since Kidd and Carter but a die hard till I die fan since 2012s BK move from Jersey its been hard asf being a fan of a team that has years and years and years of absolutely nothing, bad god awful trades and just lackluster asf seasons but your still there ride or die!!✊🏽 That’s why (I hate them lol) but I respect the Knicks fans also they’re ride or die too. Y’all’s time will come again I’m sure. No one thought the Bucks or the Nets would be where they are now and actually be contenders. People forget that Dr J and VC were Nets or how good Petrovic was or that Shaq and Penny was on the Magic!! Just wait until your Orlando magic does good and snags a few stars then people will call you a bandwagon 😂 People like us deserve to have some sort of special stamp for being fans since the sh*t days!!
@@JoeyBK_86 appreciate that bro. Respect 🤝 Some of my favorite teams in franchise history didn't have superstars. "Heart and Hustle" with Darrell Armstrong and Bo Outlaw in the early 00s was my jam. We got a young team (third youngest in the league). We'll get there.... eventually lol
It's funny how Stephen A calls this "overblown" and just part of competitive culture. I don't remember that same energy when KD and Draymond got into it. They brought the incident up for months afterwards and kept musing if it meant KD would leave? And that's exactly what happened. Where's that same overreaction to this blow up which is worse IMO because it involves the coach.
Well KD just left OKC and signed short term contracts with the warriors that already led to speculation he might leave so when that happened it obviously inflated that perception…this is different cuz everyone knows jimmy isn’t going anywhere
See that’s the thing. KD joined the warriors and all spotlight was on that team and the media made KD seem like the outsider on the warriors his whole stint there. When that argument happened between Dray and KD, on the biggest best team in the NBA at the time, it fit the media narrative. More money to be made for the media.
That Warriors team did get a lot of scrutiny and were under a microscope because so many people were upset about the way that team formed. Anything they did got overblown, similarly to the big 3 Heat.
The reason that whole situation blew up was because the way GSW staff handled it. In a genuine culture of accountability, If something happens publicly with the team you address it as a team and as men and you come to an understanding then move on. What Draymond said was wrong and it was in front of the entire team, so the only right thing to do was to address it as a team. Instead Steve Kerr and the staff tried to force Draymond to apologize and just swept it under the rug and that's what turned KD off which I completely understand.
@@GD-ib4tn I never said they were. They sit at the top of the conference which is not easy and get no coverage. They are ONE of the best teams. There's no clear #1 in the east.
Im starting to get a little concerned... not gonna lie. A loss to phili without Harden and Embid and now a loss with out Steph Klay and Dray. First round exits
@@devinvalentine6249 you seem like a prisoner of the moment type. A week or two earlier this team was rolling. Give them a little more time, season ain't over and the playoffs haven't started yet. Relax.
Appreciate the talk about the heat once we in turmoil. But this is gonna hype us up for sure it’s happened in the past. Media only talk about controversy very nice
It's crazy the only way to make it on ESPN or for any panel to talk about... The only way we (Miami Heat) can get coverage is if they have a outburst on the bench... CRAZY
My Bucks will quietly reach the #1 seed and Giannis will take the MVP, DPOY, Scoring Title, the Ring and the FMVP. He will have the greatest single season ever while nobody was talking about him the entire year. Now thats a prediction. Write it down. I’ve been saying this since the beggining of the season. Im happy if either Giannis or Jokić takes the MVP, its a win win for myself
Truth is even if the Heat clinch the #1 seed they’re not winning a playoff series against the bucks, I think either the Bucks or the Celtics will win the East this year
Embiid is a heavy favorite for mvp in Vegas. Still 10 games to go. But the Giannis disrespect is apparent. Voter fatigue will be a factor. Embiid, Giannis, and Jokic all deserve it
Haslem takes himself too seriously and Jimmy Butler believes his own "tough guy, hardest worker" BS brand. This was all a lot of BS and won't mean anything in the end. They're still not getting past the 2nd round no matter what happened here.
Nobody wants Brooklyn nets in the first round, especially other potential opponent are cavaliers, raptors hornets, hawks and bulls. I think the top four team in the east have no problem beating these team, so they want to avoid the nets for sure. I think the best chance to avoid the nets is claim the top seed, I think the nets Will most likely be the seventh seed or sixth seed.
Cavs raptors, Hornets hawks and bulls aren’t that good. The cavs did good at the start but then dropped to 6th, the bulls were 1st for half the season and they’re fifth now. The raptors are a gritty team, and the hornets aren’t really serious. The hawks have terrible defense
@@dbabu51 sorry typing error, I meant to say the top four teams of heat, sixers, bucks and Celtics have no problem beating any team in first round except the nets. As for the nets, I am sure they want Miami heat or Celtics in first round because the bucks and sixers are more dangerous.
@@Indiana-r9b nah they’ve beat the sixers and bucks. They shut down harden and embiid. The sixers aren’t a playoff team they have the ig stripper harden and crybaby embiid. Giannis also lost to the nets without kd only Kyrie
@@dbabu51 it's just one game, love or hate them, harden and embidd are MVP caliber player. On paper the nets are nearly unbeatable in a seven game series, but I think sixers and phoenix Suns have a chance if they play really well.
Heat are not contenders but pretenders... nobody in the Heat roster is an elite scorer or playmaker... team defense and set plays can only take you so far in the playoffs without a true star player... Heat is a 2nd round exit team at best...
I think that’s just not their playing style and game plan we know butler bam or Lowry can be those guys whenever they need to they just don’t need to. Not saying those three guys are so good they don’t need to try but they can be

No idea why he felt the need to bring him up 😂
Jimmy Butler went at him in Minnesota...
Windy! Lmao 🤣

@@zechariahzenith8762 both inaccurate statements from him
This should wake up Jimmy from sleeping. He's been passive for a long time.
Where was the takeover mentality against the Dubs last night. He disappeared in an important bounce back game. You can slack on D if you carrying the team on the other end.
He doesn’t sleep lol
Yeah against the knicks too it’s sad we lost to the knicks it was looking good but everybody needs to start playing now, Brooklyn would much rather play the bucks or Philly, since they know the heat have an amazing defense. They know they can keep Gianni’s contained and harden shut down and Embiid. The heat last time they played made a comeback big against the nets
I feel like a lot of people are kind of overlooking the heat this year in the east. A lot of people are focusing on the nets, 76ers, bucks, and bulls in the east but I feel like Miami has one of the best rosters in the east and in the NBA. They have a great veteran pg in Lowry, a sniper in Duncan Robinson, a top 15 or top 10 player in Jimmy Butler (who was an MVP Candidate earlier this year before he got injured), a good defensive player in pj tucker, and a Great young center in Bam. On the bench they got an improving Victor Oladipo, a 6th MOTY Candidate in Tyler Herro, great role players in Max Strus, Caleb Martin and Gabe Vincent, a good veteran big in dewayne dedmon, a tough nose player in markieff Morris (even though he can play dirty sometimes), a rookie in Omer Yurtseven who has a lot of potential, and a great locker room leader in Udonis Haslem. On top of all that, they have one of if not the best coach in the east maybe in NBA today in Eric Spoelstra, and a great president of the team in Pat Riley. In my opinion, they r going to the semi finals and possibly the finals If they all stay healthy.

Celtics are better than all of them...Heat and Bucks are 2 and 3, Philly, Chicago etc further back. Brooklyn is an X factor.

The Heat have been playing extremely well this entire season. Maybe they’re a little fatigued since they are in the 1st seed, but they can’t afford to have a meltdown like this. Especially if they want to win the championship.
Hindsight 20/20 NOBODY was SCARED of the NETS after all 😂
Love that Spo is willing to have a go at a superstar to fire up his team.
More teams should try establish this player coach relationship where the coach can do whatever he needs to do to get the best out of a superstar knowing he has the full backing of the front office and ownership.
Probably won't work with established championship teams, but if you can create a culture of accountability with a young team this is the way to do it.
I can only imagine the number of times Vogel has thought in his mind that he'd like to call a timeout and absolutely annihilate LeBron for not getting back in transition, but the front office wouldn't back him if he did it and he'd probably lose his job

The team has gotten blown out two straight games, I expect some level of frustration out of them. Losing in a competitive game is one thing, but getting blown out is unacceptable if you expect to be a contender. Eric Spoelstra answered the comments and situation masterfully.

@@flaviovelasquez4451 Don't even remind me they're playing AWFUL :(
Now that we got blown out by Nets, this is a bigger problem than it seems. 4th or 5th game loss straight is a team coordination issue, and my guess is jimmy confronted Spo about it because not all the players are being utilized properly. You have two most hard headed people in the league and this confrontation is gonna spark a huge amount of motivation for the playoffs. Understand to that this is our first slump in the whole season, we never loss more than 3 games until now.

Kudos to the warriors, amazing depth and talent on that team even without steph, Klay and dray
No, this is not about "Amazing depth." The Heat didn't show up. They haven't been playing well lately. Two nights ago, the Warriors lost to Orlando Magic, second worst team in the NBA. Klay and Dray played in that game. Where were you then? Do you know what Draymond said about that loss? You sound like a casual fan.
Amazing depth? This is the same Warriors team that just lost to the Magic.
@@iplaytowin234 doesn't matter. It's not about showing up. Butler still put up 20. That's what he usually does. Bam had 25. Rare. Lowry had 26? When was the last time he scored over 25 you tell me? Warriors were missing half of their roster. It's concerning. Herro was the only true guy that was missing. Only the heat bench played bad.

The only bad thing about players and coaches bumping heads is it happened during a game on the sidelines instead of the locker room, the media will always go back this moment if the Heat fold in the playoffs

Heat have been in first all season. They have found players no one has heard of to come in and play at a high level. They have been a great story all year and it takes this drama for you clowns to designate a segment to the Heat.
Slight clarification. 10 games into the season the Sixers were in first place and then they got hit with their Covid outbreak and some injuries. The bulls were in first place for a little while as well but yes, the Heat have been near the top of the East consistently all season
The bulls were in first for awhile so we're the nets the heat have been the most consistent team in the East they are the favorites but team drama doesn't help
Thats because the Heat suck and nobody cares about them.

3 And why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye?
4 Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam in thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6 Give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear you.
7 Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.
8 For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there among you, of whom if his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone?
10 Or if he shall ask him a fish, will he reach him a serpent?
11 If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your Lord God, the Father who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him?
12 All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat.
14 How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it!
15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Lord God, the Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.
24 Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock,
25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand,
27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.

Jimmy is better individually than everyone on 03 Pistons.
Championship???? Ok you lost me right there. I bet you forgot about the bucks and the celtics. If we’re talking about whether or not the Heat are winning a playoff series as long as either team is healthy and consistent, no chance in my opinion
This was fascinating 😂loved every minute of it
Jimmy Butler's days in Miami are numbered. Erik Spoelstra has been with the Heat longer than Pat Riley. There is no way Riley will take Jimmy's side. Bradley Beal should demand a trade to Miami over Philly.
Riley and Spoelstra has been with the Heat organization since 1995
Miami is a fringe playoff team w/on Jimmy & no way they can advance w/o him. Why would you want Bradley Beal who has never done anything w/o John Wall & plays a position where you have Herro & a ton of other shooting guards. Y’all guys just be talking.

Some of my favorite teams in franchise history didn't have superstars. "Heart and Hustle" with Darrell Armstrong and Bo Outlaw in the early 00s was my jam.
We got a young team (third youngest in the league). We'll get there.... eventually lol
It's funny how Stephen A calls this "overblown" and just part of competitive culture. I don't remember that same energy when KD and Draymond got into it. They brought the incident up for months afterwards and kept musing if it meant KD would leave? And that's exactly what happened. Where's that same overreaction to this blow up which is worse IMO because it involves the coach.
This isn’t KD and Draymond and also not the warriors lmao different players, situation, and analysis… dumass
Well KD just left OKC and signed short term contracts with the warriors that already led to speculation he might leave so when that happened it obviously inflated that perception…this is different cuz everyone knows jimmy isn’t going anywhere
See that’s the thing. KD joined the warriors and all spotlight was on that team and the media made KD seem like the outsider on the warriors his whole stint there. When that argument happened between Dray and KD, on the biggest best team in the NBA at the time, it fit the media narrative. More money to be made for the media.
That Warriors team did get a lot of scrutiny and were under a microscope because so many people were upset about the way that team formed. Anything they did got overblown, similarly to the big 3 Heat.
The reason that whole situation blew up was because the way GSW staff handled it. In a genuine culture of accountability, If something happens publicly with the team you address it as a team and as men and you come to an understanding then move on. What Draymond said was wrong and it was in front of the entire team, so the only right thing to do was to address it as a team. Instead Steve Kerr and the staff tried to force Draymond to apologize and just swept it under the rug and that's what turned KD off which I completely understand.

they’re not the best team in the east
@@GD-ib4tn I never said they were. They sit at the top of the conference which is not easy and get no coverage. They are ONE of the best teams. There's no clear #1 in the east.
That's good to see it's called passions
Im starting to get a little concerned... not gonna lie. A loss to phili without Harden and Embid and now a loss with out Steph Klay and Dray. First round exits
every single team has losses like this ....we beat the suns by 30 with tyler alone and our 3rd team
@@napoleuhndot Yeah ik but we better get some offensive chemistry or playoff defense going to lock us up
I told u guys...heat is trash...bucks gonna smoke them...Celtics gonna smoke them..everyone gonna smoke them
You don't think the Heat hear people saying they'll be first round exits if they happen to face the Nets? They're not gonna accept that.
@@devinvalentine6249 you seem like a prisoner of the moment type. A week or two earlier this team was rolling. Give them a little more time, season ain't over and the playoffs haven't started yet. Relax.
I love how Stephen. A actually agrees with Brian. They seem like they have a nice friendship.
I don't think this is a big deal. Clearly it was just frustration. Hopefully they can get past this.
Heats demise 😈😈😈
We want YOU 1st round!!!!
Then we want the bucks!!
Then the trash 6ers and send harden TF home!!!
Appreciate the talk about the heat once we in turmoil. But this is gonna hype us up for sure it’s happened in the past. Media only talk about controversy very nice
It's No Big Deal As An Long-Time Miami Heat We Just Got Frustrated
It's crazy the only way to make it on ESPN or for any panel to talk about... The only way we (Miami Heat) can get coverage is if they have a outburst on the bench... CRAZY
My Bucks will quietly reach the #1 seed and Giannis will take the MVP, DPOY, Scoring Title, the Ring and the FMVP. He will have the greatest single season ever while nobody was talking about him the entire year. Now thats a prediction. Write it down. I’ve been saying this since the beggining of the season. Im happy if either Giannis or Jokić takes the MVP, its a win win for myself
Truth is even if the Heat clinch the #1 seed they’re not winning a playoff series against the bucks, I think either the Bucks or the Celtics will win the East this year
Embiid is a heavy favorite for mvp in Vegas. Still 10 games to go. But the Giannis disrespect is apparent. Voter fatigue will be a factor. Embiid, Giannis, and Jokic all deserve it
I’m really glad Stephen A walked back his take on KAT with Westbrook. That made no sense at all.
Haslem takes himself too seriously and Jimmy Butler believes his own "tough guy, hardest worker" BS brand. This was all a lot of BS and won't mean anything in the end. They're still not getting past the 2nd round no matter what happened here.
🤣🤣🤣
YOUR GOING TO PLAY MEMPHIS TOO! ONE THING THEY DIDN'T TELL YOU IS YOUR GOING TO ALWAYS SHOW YOUR ✋ HAND FIRST!
Nobody wants Brooklyn nets in the first round, especially other potential opponent are cavaliers, raptors hornets, hawks and bulls. I think the top four team in the east have no problem beating these team, so they want to avoid the nets for sure. I think the best chance to avoid the nets is claim the top seed, I think the nets Will most likely be the seventh seed or sixth seed.
Cavs raptors, Hornets hawks and bulls aren’t that good. The cavs did good at the start but then dropped to 6th, the bulls were 1st for half the season and they’re fifth now. The raptors are a gritty team, and the hornets aren’t really serious. The hawks have terrible defense
@@dbabu51 sorry typing error, I meant to say the top four teams of heat, sixers, bucks and Celtics have no problem beating any team in first round except the nets. As for the nets, I am sure they want Miami heat or Celtics in first round because the bucks and sixers are more dangerous.
@@Indiana-r9b nah they’ve beat the sixers and bucks. They shut down harden and embiid. The sixers aren’t a playoff team they have the ig stripper harden and crybaby embiid. Giannis also lost to the nets without kd only Kyrie
@@dbabu51 it's just one game, love or hate them, harden and embidd are MVP caliber player. On paper the nets are nearly unbeatable in a seven game series, but I think sixers and phoenix Suns have a chance if they play really well.
@@Indiana-r9b nah harden never shows up in the playoffs. Chris Paul and devin booker are also chokers too
Love the windy breakdown
Heat are not contenders but pretenders... nobody in the Heat roster is an elite scorer or playmaker... team defense and set plays can only take you so far in the playoffs without a true star player... Heat is a 2nd round exit team at best...
They got great veteran talent but they are starting to look gassed playing and some of them have been dealing with nagging injuries.
I think that’s just not their playing style and game plan we know butler bam or Lowry can be those guys whenever they need to they just don’t need to. Not saying those three guys are so good they don’t need to try but they can be
U sippin da haterade a lil too hard my boy 🤣
Re they wait I g for the playoffs watch and see goofy
UD, is the Heats , Oakley, a Real Lifer . Gotta Respect Miami for holding on to him. Shows you it isn't always about the Money...
Haslem is literally cheating the game straight finessing the heat cheerleading 😂😂😂😂
I hope you're joking. Basketball is just as important off the court than it is on the court. Veteran players like Haslem are needed for the locker rooms. He's basically a player coach now.
@@cyberbron2024 veteran players PLAYING or being useful... haslem doesn't sweat and tries to fight someone who¿s running at 150 bpm... he is benched and was the one that overreacted xD
Tucker picking up the clip board and papers off the floor is hilarious.
When you got Haslem telling Jimmy "you're not a f***ing leader" you know this team is messed up, and I expect this team to break up in the off-season after their first or second round exit.
you clearly don't know much about the Miami Heat.
Lol. Who has Haslem ever led? That myth of him being a leader is hilarious.
@@b.i.g.damian626 he don’t know about sports period, bc real competitors go at it but it be no bad blood. Just hot from losing
@@espectrodelayautja6320 dude Robbing the heat for millions
@@b.i.g.damian626 So Haslem saying I'll beat yo a$$ is nothing??? Jimmy calling him a B**** is nothing??? when have you ever seen 2 MIAMI heat players verbally fight like that? Also when have you seen Spo get at it like that with a player on his squad yet alone the best player?? Ik for a fact he ain't do that that wit dwade or bron nd bosh, you idiots know nothing bro..
So ‘professional’ a bunch of grown men on the same team threatening to beat each other 😂
Great Take 💯
Coach Spo needs to give Doc Rivers lessons on how to deal with a sticky situation.
You’re right on Stephen A. Go Heat!!!
Love that the national media only covers us when things go awry
Heat get more coverage than the Jazz
Hmmmmm! I guess this what it takes to get ESPN and the other major networks to talk about the HEAT huh. SMH.
