  1. Seems to imply showing up is 99% of winning – i.e. play the games and don't call in sick during the regular season

  2. heat is out of playoffs but for some reason i still love watching what pat has to say. it will be interesting to see what they do, jimmy is great in playoffs but team lacks some firepower to put points against some of these teams.

  3. I listened to Pat, I am a Heat fan for 21 years, I saw him dancing in 06 in front of the arena, I was behind them, I like him, but I have some questions with my answers: 1-Do we need to trade Jimmy and Bam?..Answer: I believe , yes. Two finals and 5 year run, were the peak for this guys…it is not enough in 2025 the power of these 2 players to lead the heat. Thank you.

  4. 2-Do we see a trend in the games, with coaching?…I believe yes, there are always lost leads, we were up by 15 or 12 to finally goind down, do not make time outs after see the team going without scoring for 3 minutes, or the other team doing a 8 pts run, do not make challenge calls (none, almost never), the team was playing better with Love, instead of Adebayo, even with that, the coaching sat down Love. Thank you

  5. wow really threw the great Jimmy Butler under the bus with harsh words…without Jimmy we saw how bad this team is…Jimmy should take his talents elsewhere

  6. If you think about it, it is true that superteams don’t always work out. The nets big three, the Suns Big three, the thunder big three with Durant, Westbrook, Harden, the 76ers big three Maxey, embiid, Harden. The lakers big three Westbrook, Lebron, Ad. In a way the thing they need is more depth on the bench cause the Heat already have Rosier and Tyler for scoring and then aren’t even the main two guys with Jimmy and Bam there. Sure Tyler didn’t perform as they wanted him to but he basically got the Trae young treatment when the Heat vs the Hawks in 2022 playoffs. They probably need more depth and a few pieces here and there but most of all availability.

  7. 👀👀👀👀👀 damn pat went in on the whole team

  8. Somewhere along the way the Heat lost their culture, I respect Pat and what he said. The team hustles and always shows up to play the hardest and physical. That’s gone, need that back! #heatculture

  9. Jimmy is great #2 for a championship team. Bam and Tyler peaked in the bubble . And I don’t see any superstars becoming available anytime soon . We are becoming the Chicago bulls of the south .

  10. Every NBA team needs a Pat Riley running their team with his no nonsense approach you wanna get paid then play.

  11. Lmaoo Pat wanted to call this era soft like 100 times in this interview but restrained himself every time😂

  12. "He's a shot taker and maker." How about the majority of the games he played in he shot something like 8-23, 7-22, 9-27, 4-14 over and over…. We have bigger problems than just one guy, but, Tyler running our offense is not the answer. Need better spacing, need a real point guard, need consistency. Even when guys weren't hurt, the lineup changed constantly. I hate hearing post-game interviews and shit when they talk about that makes them stronger for the playoffs. It doesn't. Need to make some trades, pick a lineup and stick with it. Can't build good habits and consistency for the postseason if you're constantly changing the lineups and the approach. That's why they look so fucking lost all the time out there the moment chucking up threes fails them, they don't have any confidence in themselves from the look of it and they never adjust. Just keep chucking… I've been watching the team throw away leads and make the same mistakes for 2 whole seasons. Something's gotta give…

  13. Idk about y’all but it’s pretty obvious the big acquisition this off season will be LeBron James. Pat Riley is obviously hesitant on making a big change and I believe he will heavily entertain a D Mitch trade but he won’t include both Jaime & Jovic one will stay. If trade doesn’t fall through he’s running it back with Bron + same roster. As long as the roster stays healthy that’ll bring major change without subtraction. And this roster is tailored to all of LeBron’s strengths and we hold the 15th pick which can possibly be used for Bronny James.

  14. Pat Riley: 42minutes 50sec of implying that this team needs a better bench/role players
    Media and fans: Yooo, yall heard what he said to Jimmy?! That's crazy! 🤯
