Well, what about this other part of it, though? Like, Tyler Hero's been the screener defender on 50 pick and rolls through two games, and the Cavs are generating 1.2 points per possession.

Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Wiggins was three for 10, 10 points in 28 minutes. Doesn't look anything like the champion contributor that he was for the Warriors. He helped win the Warriors a title. He was that kind of important. Bam had 11 points on nine shot attempts. But let's hear from Darius Garland here. Again, Tyler Hero has been the screener defender on 50 pick and rolls through two games.

You guys think what of that? Because when the Heat lose, they've lost more games this season than they've won. They don't belong on the floor with that team. That team has been exceptional all season, is better than them in every way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
The real only advantage that you have in that series is that you hope that over seven games, Spolster can figure out playing the same team again and again and again, that he's got something for them later in the series. Well, he was tweaking with the lineup a little bit.

I do worry about you every time that you're in because you tend to derail things with the way that you don't do things according to protocol.

It was 101-99 late in the fourth.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
It's one of the reasons that Zazz has been... Zazz and Dominique, I think, are perpetual... I don't want to speak for them, but they're perpetually... They've said on this show that they're frustrated that some basic things that could be easily learned around here are things you refuse to learn. Yeah, like what? Radio. The doing of... Broadcast.

Jessica thinks you're pathetic. I saw the look on her face. It can never be the lane to victory math.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
They do know what they have. They know it's not good enough. And so they try a bunch of other things that they don't know. No, that's right. Because what they do know is that what they have will not work in the formations that they've been using them.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Very often that mic is not in front of your face.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
There's been some overreaction around here. Zaslow stormed in today saying that Joe Missoula should be in prison. He should! He should!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Let's play that sound here of a Joe Missoula that Zaslow says should be imprisoned.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Zazz believes he's every bit the journalist you are.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Can we just look at the end at Missoula?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Freeze frame on Missoula here because the difference in the eyes makes him, when he's saying that he likes to see his players bleed, that just objectively, empirically doesn't look sane. I want to ask the group here, do you have a lot of other settings where a 7'3 man is getting elbowed in the head?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Like physically, it seems like outside of wrestling, something falling out of the sky, it seems like it's a little difficult to elbow somebody who's seven foot three in the head.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Out of the context of basketball— Because he's feeling pretty confident that he shouldn't be imprisoned for what he said. I think he's feeling good about his point, so he's winding up here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
How'd that work out? I told you there was tension here, and you guys said there's not. It's friendly disagreement. About you guys being the same kind of journalist, the two of you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Yeah, you mentioned that. I'm not wearing a heat hat, by the way. hat. Backwards. You're not wearing a heat hat backwards. Why do you think you're a better journalist than Zaslow is?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Barks. Very dismissive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
That is an offense. Like, I'm a dog. When you said barks and you made him not human, yeah, that's a little offensive.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Yeah, but just because you say no offense, hey, Greg, you're an asshole. No offense. Yeah. Thank you. Like, that's... You can't just throw in a no offense after you've offended to exonerate your offense.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
What's inaccurate? Hold on. What's the fake news? Where's the journalism? He went to Santa Fe. He did, but that's not where he got the TV. No, I didn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Why, speaking to the mic like a professional journalist and broadcaster, why do we think that you went to Santa Fe? I don't know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
I want to play some sound here from yesterday of Greg Cody when he wasn't killing Marv Levy. He was also taking a colleague, Andrew Hawkins, and for some reason calling him, I believe it was Walter Hawkins. Great name. Let's hear that sound, please.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
He played in the NFL and works with us at Meadowlark.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Now, you guys accused me of calling him Walter Goggins.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
It was an accusation. I referred to him as Goggins, and you guys said I was afraid of his first name. I never called him Walter. That's not something that happened.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
That's great. By the way, The Last of Us. I'm not going to spoil it, even though it's right around spoiler alert Wednesday. But The Last of Us caught me very much off guard in the last episode. I was not expecting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
You can spoil it, whatever. No, no, I'm not going to spoil this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
No, that's why I'm not going to spoil it. You missed your chance. I did. I was going to spoil it yesterday, but I didn't. So now here we are.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
That is Chris Cody's daughter. She came in here today and called me a doo-doo head. I don't know, that runs in the family, I guess. The Codys pass that down. I am being told by producers that everyone is enjoying the tension between Zaslow and Greg Cody. I've been enjoying it for many years. They have both come up in this market and...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
I don't believe that Zaslow looks down on Greg Cody, but I do know, and I'm not saying Greg Cody looks down on Zas, but I do know that print journalists generally look down their nose at radio guys. That's a pretty common affliction in my history in this business. For some reason, the print guys think they're more noble than the radio guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Oh, but I do believe you think that that's also superior. It doesn't mean that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Which one do you think is more admirable if you were just looking at it from afar? Who do you respect or admire more, the person who has a print journalist's resume or the person who has a radio person's resume?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
But that's not the question I was asking you. Like, which one do you respect more? Like, just if I put in front of you a great radio broadcaster and a great print journalist, who gets more respect from you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
In journalism. Wow. I went to the University of Florida. Yours is from FAU, correct? Yeah. Actually, empirically speaking, he's got the better journalism degree. Like, that's a fact.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
He will be full for weeks off of this. I'll give him that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Yeah, and that's right. And what's at the end of it? A beautiful artistic tapestry for everyone to enjoy because we need more sparks around here because this is an echo chamber. This is not an echo chamber. You guys saw some of the numbers on Vasilevsky because... This is something in this Tampa, Florida series. He's allowed six goals in Tampa five times in his career.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Three times it's been done by the Panthers. In the last game, the Panthers scored, I think, five goals on 11 shots or something absurd. And Roy, Mike, and Zaslow came in here, Chris less so, expecting that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
So expecting that, because if you've done it three times to him, it's only happened to him five times at home, and you get six goals against a goalkeeper I've seen win the championship by being a hot goalkeeper. Tender. To see what it is. Yeah, sorry.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
I do love those tenders.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Jessica, you have no interest tonight in anything but the draft, correct? Correct. You are zoned in and you're not someone who's going, Greg Cody's trying to break last year's record of nine exactos. He's feeling very confident that his mock draft is going to be successful. Have you done any mock drafts?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Zaslow, as a journalist, did you learn at the University of Florida to consult an imaginary bird when making your weekly picks on the NFL?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
I begin with an apology to the audience that I missed this yesterday. Many of you rushed into the breach to say that Greg Cody owes $50 because yesterday he killed Marv Levy on the air very early in the show. Nobody here corrected him. I don't know how old Marv Levy is, but he is still with us. 99%. That means that Greg Cody owes $50, $50, and also he owes $5 because his phone went off.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
So he owes $55. Can we get the sound here of Greg Cody with all of his hair disheveled from traffic? Greg Cody yesterday on the show killing Marv Levy. When the anonymous quotes come flying from the people who still admire Robert De Niro as a marquee movie star. The old coaches are speaking anonymously. I hate this. One of the many reasons I hate this time of year.

none of you are allowed to be in charge of the fine bucket none of you respect the fine bucket and this is a hard and fast rule no need for dilution or nuance if someone's alive and you say they're dead fifty dollars that's like there's no no we don't need any judges we don't need any we don't need to to do any gerrymandering here in order to get the right uh votes that we want it's hard and fast he killed somebody who's not dead fifty dollars
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
If the person is alive and you make them dead, you owe $50.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
No, Chris, come in here and make sure your father pays this, please. Grab his phone.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
That's fine. I know what the passcode is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
This one promises to be interesting because Greg Cody and Zaslow are sitting across from each other. There is a history of something, something, a history of something there. Greg is pointing at me right now, but the reason this also has the possibility of being a cantankerous day is because you just muttered, I heard you right before we started, bleeping traffic, pain in the ass. Well,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
I'm tired of him. Do you have cash? I can spot you. paying any of the fines. We're going to put an end to that. We're going to get back to the assortment of things to talk about today. I'm guessing Zaslow and Heat fans enjoyed last night simply because... Jimmy Butler got hurt?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
I'm bummed about that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
I don't believe any of you. I know that you guys will say publicly whatever it is that you want to say. I believe the fact that Jimmy Butler left the game, and then champion Steve Kerr says, well, once that happens, we don't know what we're doing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
hurt oh that's the nice thing to say Jeremy Jeremy you don't know Miami or Miami fans very well if you think you're speaking for all Miami fans I don't think I'm speaking for all Miami fans I'm thinking I think I'm speaking for more Miami fans than not though I don't think anybody wants I got so many texts last night hey can't believe Jimmy got hurt two games in like my phone just filled up that's how I got the news don't tell me that everyone's being nice about this I didn't say
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
I have found very little around here pleases people more consistently than being able to say, I told you so.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
And so all of these things get muddled. Like you can sit here and say, I have a soul because I feel bad secretly, but also I told you so. Those things don't go together. Like there's some happiness involved with just being able to not be miserable because the Warriors are 17 and one in their last 18 games.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Yeah, you just agreed with everything I said. Thank you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Why do you guys think that Heat fans would be nicer about this than people were when Anthony Davis limped off the court? And everyone took a certain glee in, ah, see?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Let's not oversell the fact. Well, but by local homers, he'll be considered that. But that's not the national reputation of Jimmy Butler. Jimmy Butler is now golden forever based on what we've already seen. The surprise we've already seen makes him golden forever as one of the most surprising things seen in the history of the NBA postseason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Are they? I'm not totally sure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Is David Mitchell good? Let's explore last night's game. Finish your thought. I didn't mean to put a pause on your thoughts there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
He didn't quite get the team that he wanted.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
greg by you the noise of the moment with real legacy the noise of the moment isn't something that echoes okay this is this is 15 years of career and draymond green punched a teammate not how he'll be remembered like that's the noise of the noise of the moment is not the thing that sticks i
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Let's talk about the specifics of last night's game. Cleveland, extraordinary at threes. The way that Cleveland can beat Boston is by being better than threes. Better at threes than Boston. In last night's game, the Heat put together offensively a second quarter they kind of want to put together. Six threes in a second quarter. You do that over the course of the game. You've made 24 threes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
That's kind of what it is that you want to do. However, they're down 17 because Cleveland's made five more threes than them in the second period. It's the most ever in a quarter in an NBA season. postseason, and the Heat just basically trailed the entire game. And then late in the game, they got close. I'm curious how the rest of you feel about this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
The Heat have only two players who are All-Stars. And one of them that they need to be huge in this series is floating around the perimeter and assists and taking three-pointers and trying to out-three the Cavs by Bam's taking threes on the perimeter. And they're also down 17 at the half because they're getting nothing at the rim. Nothing is happening at the rim.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
You do seem, Chris, you've been laughing at him. His hair's a little discombobulated. He seems frazzled. He sounds frazzled. He's rushing in three minutes beforehand. Doesn't draft day's hell week for him? Sure.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: Don't Disparage The Upset Bird
And Cleveland's saying, go ahead, Bam. We'll let Davion Mitchell and Tyler Hero try to take their chances. We're not going to let you beat us. And Bam's like, okay, I won't be the one who beats you. You guys as Heat fans, how do you feel when you've got your dream team guy, your all-star, floating around the perimeter as a non-factor all game? And I'm saying this even though he had nine assists.
