NBA GameTime | “Miami can win East” – Shaq reacts Heat beats Warriors behind big nights from Herro

There with the head coaches meeting after the game Miami wins its fourth straight and they do it tonight without Jimmy Butler 114 to 102 the final score Tyler hero leaks the way with 26 welome on in Channing fry Grant Hill Jared Greenberg that was a uh rough one

To watch here thanks for sticking with us the first game of our double header a bit more exciting we’ll review that a little later on as Detroit’s losing streak goes to 28 in a row all right so Golden State here this uh I I don’t know

Do you want to go to the negative of Golden State where back-to-back games after they won five in a row their shooting is is not good or this Miami Team without four core rotation guys goes into Golden State and looks this good well I think you know Miami or let

Talk about Golden State I think we’ve seen them play really great games uh without Draymond and with him and then we’ve seen them lose really bad games I think a lot of that depends on are they turning the ball over and they’re putting so much pressure on their

Offense right these teams when they were you know winning chips and and contenders they were Elite defensively that’s something that we take for granted they were Elite defensively and when they got out and got in transition they were almost unguardable you look now and you know kaminga and Moody and a

Lot of these guys are still kind of not moving at the pace that Steph is you know when Steph does this thing you know when he gives the ball up he’s sprinting to that corner through that screen and now he’s having to yell at guys to set

That screen you know and now people kind of figured them out and so I think they’re going to have to re-evaluate who they are and what helps them win when they win is when they rebound when they attack the rack and get the extra effort and tonight Miami just grinded him out

Just grinded him down to the bone yeah I mean give credit to Miami I like to focus on the positive the power of positive thinking that’s the way you are Norman Vince Peele um but I am concerned with with golden state and uh I just think the up and down of the they

Look like a team that’s just tired like they’re just drained and tired and you know obviously Miami uh they bring it to you they defend they make life difficult they take you out of your comfort zone uh you know Stephen Curry you know very pedestrian game for him offensively Klay

Thompson like just they had nothing it just seemed like they didn’t really get it going at the level that they needed to to have a chance and to to limit this this offense to 102 points at home I mean that says a lot about the defense

But also just it’s been a it’s been a tough year and it’s only two months in yeah I mean listen we we hear you guys sit up here and say time and time again this is the way Miami plays we hear all the cliche about what they do grind you out

Defensively they had two of their regulars in the starting lineup tonight like what what is it about them that allows Highsmith Hampton Kane yic to step in there and play at that same level and knock out a team that that had three Hall of Famers on the

Three future Hall of Famers in the court tonight I think especially for a regular season game this is how they practice this is how they they don’t know any different right so this is just your opportunity when a guy goes down you’re just getting a different opportunity

Whether you get two minutes to 20 minutes or 20 minutes to 40 minutes whatever it is you’re still operating within that system that you have been practicing really hard every single day and also you’re taking good shots they turn down good shots to take great shots and defensively all of them are

Connected right they are very connected to be even out there on the court so they go hey I’m going to get opportunities by cutting moving anytime they pass to Bam or Tyler you see they they always cut every single time they’re always screening popping they’re making an extra pass so those things

Create energy for your offense and they don’t rely on that they rely on their defense and then their main guys you know bam and Tyler are usually going to be the ones that get the most of the shots so worst comes the worst you’re going to play and you’re going to get

Six shots you’re going to do Miami things and you’re going to win yeah all those things and I I think overall big picture just it just speaks to to the culture of Miami and we’ve talked about you know this culture and a continuation of Pat Riley Eric Pooler but um with

That there there’s a there’s a standard regardless of who’s on the court that they’re going to play a certain way I think they’re very intentional and very very deliberate about who they draft about players that they bring in uh who are going to fit into that culture uh and it allows for

Them to Plug and Play like if someone’s out man they next man up but there’s no uh uh uh excuse uh or okay we don’t have our main guys or we don’t have certain guys it’s okay no they they still go out to win they play a certain way that’s

Who they are we talked about it before like they’re not going to be themselves you’re going to have to just come out compete beat them play harder than them be tougher than them uh and a team that’s struggling right now in Golden State a team that’s sort of figuring out

What is their identity who are they you know what what is this team now so close to winning a championship a few years ago but the team that’s just been through a lot um a tough opponent going against Miami whoever Miami suits up as we saw tonight it’s going to be a tough

Road ahead here for Golden State albeit a a a bit of a respit that they are at home for all of these games but they have Dallas coming up who I I would presume is going to get a bit healthier than they were tonight you have Orlando

Who’s a good team Denver the defending champs and then a game against Detroit which I is may not be a hard game on paper but the pressure is going to be there because that may be a game where the streak is still intact and you don’t

Want to lose that game so so there there’s a lot online here and and and the big thing has to be the cons the inconsistent shooting the the starting lineup tonight for the Warriors 6 for 22 two from three-point territory tonight I just don’t think they get easy shots

Like they used to right we’re seeing Steph dribble the ball a lot we’re seeing a lot more turnovers from different guys who having to make decisions right this isn’t your young spry you know 30y old 28y old clay Steph right Chris Paul is up there in age and

And Steph is up there in age in miles so is clay and so for me even when they played tonight when they’re running their actions teams are built for this now right when you’re good the NBA cop you so those actions of screening and getting switches team’s been practicing

This three four five years now so Miami is like we see this we practice against this this is nothing new so golden state is going to have to figure out what is what it takes to win and looking at their younger guys and looking at the younger guys that go defensively we need

To be better and we need to be better leaders from clay and Steph and and go out there and just play good energetic youthful basketball well and and they got to get healthy I mean obviously healthy and get get all their team their players back Raymond Green so important

Gary pton the second he’s been out he’s injured like the margin of era is is so slim or so thin for them they need all their guys to give them a chance unlike Miami who can right get by with certain guys out for periods of time and you

Know they’re they’re still in the thick of things if you will um in the west that that could easily change but they got to stay attached they got to stay within Striking Distance and then they got to figure some things out like you know Clay’s got to be more consistent

Wiggins is going to have to give a little bit more uh you know draymond’s going to have to be available and uh and be on the court for them and you know and see where they are at that point but there’s just been a lot a lot of distractions you know certain core

Pieces not being there um and you know it’s always tough when you’ve been a championship team and you’ve had a certain excellence and then now you’re on the decline it’s hard to accept sort of where you are right now and um and so it’s it’s a difficult time you know and

Um uh it’s just hard to believe two years ago they’re Champions and right now they’re struggling well one more thing I’ll add that that may have to happen this year is something that has not had to happen a lot of over the last eight nine years and that is some

Inseason changes we may see first year general manager Mike dun leevy we are now in the the thick of trade season he he may have to make some tweaks around the edges bigger deals don’t know what available but but there may have to be something if they want to keep that

Standard of competing at a high level up we’ll see what Mike Dunley and the Brotherhood education that he has has in store for him yeah let bring it back around you know it’s after midnight we haven’t talked about it yet today so I figured it’s part ofir I I appreciate

The shout out thank yeah you’re welcome their head coach though went to to North Carolina Arizona did it really Steve Kerr yeah you heard oh Steve ker I thought you talking about Duke I was like I don’t know it’s getting late here on the desk I think
