Biggest concern for the Miami Heat continues to be a lack of continuity due to injuries

Biggest concern for the Miami Heat continues to be a lack of continuity due to injuries

All right let’s get uh headlines here for the 3:00 hour the uh the pivot episode that you uh did with jazz Chism is starting to go a little viral with Marlin’s Twitter I was watching during the commercial break uh you had told us when you finished taping it with them

That jazz was good interesting didn’t hold back and the clips I’m seeing like I saw Craig Mish tweet some of it out I saw you know there’s a whole bunch of uh like Twitter fan Marlin’s fan ish on first says Jazz Chisum Jr completely rips I just lost it damn

It how do you work Twitter Jazz doesn’t say a lot of names but you know they are say um Jazz Chism this is fish on first Jazz Chism Jr completely rips Miguel roas to shreds throughout this interview just one example talking about how Jesus Sanchez got crap from Miggy uh and other vets

For doing the sto Shuffle light and I I watched the clip where he doesn’t mention these names but fishon first is taking the information that jazz is giving here it’s not that difficult to figure out who he’s talking about no no and we actually we actually stopped him

At points and like hey man talk more General like you can’t just say these people’s name jazz is bro Jazz got some Edge to him he’s bro the UN the colorful hair like I thought he’d be more like kidish like playful he got some Edge to him like he

Said in the show like in in during the show he was like bro I’m the best player on this team like don’t disrespect me I’m better than you at baseball like it it was like I saw that and it was it was in it’s the new it’s funny we were

Talking about it the other day about like college athletes and Nils and the transfer portal bro these young guys they’re not worried about hierarchy I hit a ball very far and I can catch everything that comes my way so you need to worry about me I don’t need to worry

About you it’s it is a swing going on in athletics right now and Jazz I love him to death about it but Jazz got a little Edge to him Greg Mish tweeted out a clip and it says on a wide ranging interview on the pivot Marlin center fielder jez

Chisum discusses being a big fan of the new players currently in the Marlins Clubhouse and takes a swipe at a former Marlin player and I watched the clip he’s talking about having fallen asleep in the clubhouse and there’s a team meeting and the captain of the team at

That moment is sitting next to him doesn’t wake him and he misses the meeting and he goes what kind of Captain are you like I’m I’m I’m sleeping just wake me up what kind of Captain lets a guy sleep and miss a meeting and then he

Talks about there’s not a single guy in the clubhouse right now who wouldn’t wake someone else up and he said I love this Clubhouse then he went on to say it and I love the way he did it he goes it’s uh what do you call it the Spanish

The blacks the whites did he call him the Spanish I can’t remember but he’s like doesn’t matter if it’s the Spanish the blacks the whites everyone’s got their back he’s like this Clubhouse he’s like the first one there is no color in this Clubhouse we are the best team uh

It was cool I liked it yeah yeah it was like that’s why when I came back that day I did it and I came back home and work from home and y’all asked me about jazz and I was like listen jazz is interview is quite interesting when it

Comes to I don’t know if it’s the old regime and the new regime would you call it that or whatever it is like for sure because when he came to prominence it was Don madingley that’s an old school Donnie baseball I’m not taking a shot at

Don madingley because I like him but you know his approach is wildly different than skip shoer approach and and I will tell you if you have any questions about Skip shoeer go watch the interview Jazz Chism loves skip shoe Mar yeah I’m not speaking on the other relationship but he

Loves his career is now in his mind you go listen you can listen to him say it his career is now better that skip is that skip is the skipper other than the past regime and and and and Jazz he held no punches saying that talking about I

Hope jazz can stay healthy this season he a do I hope he can stay healthy and he’s not that big he didn’t look like it in the he’s not a big dude like I’m not I’m not gigantic but I was at least four inches taller than him

I probably had him by 60 pounds like he’s not a big guy but he is solid as a rock like like giving him da and slapping his back it’s like slapping a piece of cement like he is solid as a damn Rock I was like damn y’all BAS

Players work out yeah yeah yeah yeah we do a little something we do a little something it was cool solid as a piece of glass maybe this dude will be on the iil by April 15th trust me stop it don’t talk that into existence leave my Chaz alone I

Told you friend don’t put that out there in the universe I love no I love jazz I love I happen to watch a bit of the interview today I thought he was excellent I thought he was phenomenal I thought he was inspiring see you on the

I can’t wait till you’re back in why are you talking that why are you putting that out there in the universe I told you we’re friends I don’t say that about everybody yeah no the 38 games he plays this season really all right knock it off Lana I’m gonna smack that little

Snapback off your head you don’t seem to mind Jimmy Butler missing every other game yeah he loves Tyler hero Tyler hero hadn’t played in seven months want to hear a question from ask I was gonna save it for 15 minutes of heat but as long as salana is going in on jezz Chism

Ira that’s 21 Miss gamees by Jimmy Butler without a serious major injury how does that happen was this planned out ahead of time Iris says for all Adam Silver has attempted to do regarding getting players on the court including the 65 game requirement for postseason Awards it simply is a different era the

Reality is that players prioritize certain games as in playoff games at this point you accept that Jimmy Butler will be a 75% of the time player during the regular season with the hope that he will be a 125% of the time player during the playoffs is it optimal on the face of it

No but based on the playoff results in three of the past four years it has proven to be a successful formula for both Jimmy and the heat so the consternation about the absences essentially gets put on hold until the final game is played then the venting could be more Justified or forgotten

From an athletes perspective Hulk I know a lot of I want to use myself I know a lot of guys that went on the field not 100% just to go on the field and play but if we were a playoff team and that player took off so 20 he

Missed 20 games out of 82 that’s damn near 20% of the time 25% of the time a qu a quarter of the game Jimmy’s going to miss he he will have missed more yeah cuz it’s at 21 now and there’s still what like 12 13 14 games

Left so if you put that into an NFL schedule could a it’s Toronto Armstead could a Toronto Armstead it’s not based on real major injury like toron Armstead is it’s maintenance but Jimmy Butler is trying to extend his career I don’t I don’t blame him as Iris says it actually

It works out well for the Heat and Jimmy Butler but there’s like there’s got to be a ring at the end of it let’s go back when Dan was here Dan or OJ McDuffy or you know or I say OG which is just funny but like think about that if when when

Dan Marino was taking the Dolphins to the playoffs if the top players could take off three games a year with those playoff outcomes been different it’s just different times like you just can’t even but you see what I’m saying H Dan Marino Dan Marino can stay healthy

Through a whole season take off the last three weeks of a season and go in 100% fresh to the playoffs those years that might be a different outcome in the playoffs fans don’t want to hear it but you have to really think about that and the NBA does it all the

Time I don’t think you can compare it though like this situation of football I get what you’re saying by the way but I I I think it’s comparing apples to oranges because in the NFL the the difference between one win and one loss could be the difference between you

Having a buy or you hosting three playoff games or hosting the first two playoff games or going out in the road like like the Dolphins had to this year we kind of the NBA though recently remember we saw that with the heat just a few seasons ago where one win was a

Big difference yeah and I understand that one win here could be the difference between being a playing seed or even being the four seed potentially but you have to play more than one game come playoff time you have to play these long drawn out series and you need to be

Healthy and it’s different between playing one game for a week and then getting a week off I mean you’re going to play every other day hopefully for two and a half three months so I I think that’s why I I don’t like the comparison but man imagine bamama bio I I wanted to

Play some sound for you I’ll do it during 50 minutes of heat where he’s asked yesterday hey like are you tired of being healthy and you don’t have the other best players on the team and he had to pause and he he kind of sighed

He’s like how do I frame this the right way and he said the right answer right that I’m sure everybody would have wanted him to say from the Heat’s perspective but you’re telling me bam is not frustrated where it was LeBron with Wade at the end like there’s certain guys who are just

Built to play and not take maintenance days or Miss games that other players might miss and Bam’s one of those guys LeBron is one of those guys and it got a frustrate them when they’re playing with people who aren’t like that but it is advantageous it’s what papovich used to

Do we laughed at it before but now the NBA won’t let it when he used to put old on injury report like papovich no Hall of Fame coach he knew Tony Parker and these they can’t play 82 give them a week off and they’re G to be better when

They come back and I need to rest them for this playoff run like it’s legit Adam Silver doesn’t want to them to do it because of the fact that these damn tickets are so high and everybody comes to watch stars but it’s advantageous not to play for the player s though it

Stinks as a fan if you’re go who’s out for the heat Cavs game tomorrow Donovan Mitchell is gonna be out they’re missing a lot of guys but is Jimmy extend Jimmy can play to 2026 or if he takes time off I bought my tickets in 202 he can play to

2029 so you might catch him in 2028 but if he played every game like Jordan them boys back in the day he wouldn’t play that long H it’s advant you have to admit it’s advantageous to a player’s career you’re saying quantity over quality I’m saying quality over quantity

Of course I don’t have money in the mix I was gonna say Jimmy might make $70 million in those three extra years no that’s I actually why I replay an interview in the five o’clock hour it’ll extend my career because I’m tired of

Talking but if I can ex if I can if I can narrow an hour every day that’ll keep me on the air for another three four years I mean that’s that’s what 30 grand I’m all in baby let’s get this car payment it is a strategy though I’m with you Crowder and

It’s proven to be successful for some teams I don’t believe Jimmy missing Sunday and yesterday in Philadelphia especially yesterday is maintenance program for him I I I don’t because at this point of the season I mean he’s done his maintenance right he didn’t play back toback earlier in the

Season um and if you were going to miss a game during this back-to-back stretch it would have been the first one against Detroit which you ended up winning anyways I think he’s hurt right now I think he had a foot injury earlier this season and it never fully healed he went

On a stretch of about two and a half three weeks where he played like he was playoff Jimmy we talked about it and after that you kind of saw him decline just a little bit not only in his numbers but also clearly in his uh energy levels late in games which is

What led to a couple B losses at Oklahoma City at at Dallas and against Denver we talked about it on the show what the hell happened to the heat here against Washington what the hell happened to the heat here why is Jimmy deferring in these moments of the games

And then now he misses two straight they talk about the foot injury being the issue for him missing um he tried to play Yesterday couldn’t get through the workout without pain I don’t think he’s missing games right now based on hey they want to keep him healthy for the

Playoffs I don’t think he’s healthy and I don’t think the heat are going to be healthy come playoff time this idea that we have that hey they’ll be fine come playoff time maybe not right because injuries are clearly a huge issue all throughout the season and you wanted

Them to get healthy at this point and there’s 14 games left and the most important game of the season to the point was yesterday and you’re closing with Patty Mills on the floor I mean that’s not ideal for this team to that point salana I’ve told the story before

George Edwards who’s still coaching the league he asked me before one of the games on like a Saturday he was like Crowder how you feel and I like coach I’m about 80% he said you need to play because your 80% is better than all your backups 100% so you can make those play

So Jimmy with a sore foot is better than Patty Mills with no sord and if it was the playoffs he’d have been playing that’s my guess no h and that’s the point it’s like okay no I take it easy I think that NBA players which NFL players

Don’t do I think NBA players will look and be like okay we’re still the fifth seed I’m good oh we slipped into the seven SE I think Jimmy the playing team I think that his mentality is yeah get me to the postseason and and they’ll see so that last month stretch you’re

Talking about I think they started slipping and Jimmy said okay let me jump us back into the top five real quick and then I’m gonna I’m gonna chill out get playoff and we G and we gonna ball like I really do believe NBA players can do the math on that but you’re risking

Being the a situation like last year where you were better than the Hawks you torched them all of last season but for whatever reason that one playing Tournament game the Hawks beat you they were the better team that night there’s no doubt about it and you had to go and

Play another playing game against Chicago 90 seconds away from being eliminated and they squeaked it out you want to be in that same situation again this season and have to play Boston in the first round I’m with you man I have the guts I don’t Boston doesn’t scare me

Milwaukee they don’t scare me but those teams have continuity this season those teams have time on the floor together this season and the heat don’t at no point this year other than a seven game losing skid did you have roier hero bam and Jimmy all on the floor together and

Now you know Tyler hero there’s major concerns there whether he’s going to be healthy come playoff time you have zero continuity with this group

After a disappointing loss to the Sixers last night, we discuss the ongoing injury issues to Tyler Herro, Kevin Love and Jimmy Butler and how it’s derailed the point of the season Miami usually kicks into “playoff mode”.
