00:00Let's you hear a little bit of what Jimmy Butler had to say after practice today because obviously as we move toward
00:06The the second half of our show tonight. We're we're we're exactly 24 hours away
00:11from this highly highly
00:14Anticipated national television basketball game tomorrow night. Jimmy butler is going back to miami. So
00:22Um, everybody caught up with him after practice today to to kind of go through
00:27The ins and outs of this situation he was asked if he's going to have thoughts
00:32About when he sees pat riley tomorrow. I don't got no thoughts. That's it, man
00:37I don't got nothing to say to nobody. I don't know hard feelings. Uh, i'm in a better place now for me
00:42and uh
00:44Continued success to those guys
00:47I love him. I got no thoughts. I got no thoughts. Jimmy. What are your thoughts on uh, seeing pat right tomorrow?
00:53I got no thoughts no thoughts
00:55I love that the two senses like I got no hard feelings and also got no thoughts, right?
01:00Like it kind of sounds like hard feelings actually
01:02Well a little bit. I mean there are let's be real there are there are thoughts and there are hard feelings. Absolutely and his thoughts are
01:09probably
01:10Such that he doesn't want to put them into a microphone
01:13His thoughts are i'm sure of a personal and acrimonious nature. I got no thoughts
01:19Here's what he said when he was asked what playing against the heat will be like
01:24This is basketball. This is very simple
01:27I don't have all the emotions that everybody thinks that i'm gonna have like it is what it is
01:31I realized that I had some great years here. I've built some incredible bonds with some individuals in the organization in the city
01:39hell in the state of florida, um
01:41But i'm going in there to hoop i'm going there to play basketball. Ain't nothing nobody say nothing
01:45Nobody do it's gonna get me out of character. Nobody got me out of character whenever I was going through what I was going
01:50Through this entire season with the suspension
01:53It's another day for me. Okay, I mean
01:57I don't buy it, but I also buy that part. I like okay i'm a hoop
02:01Right. I buy basketball by the part of it. I think we do this in the media for sure
02:06we build things up to be uh, maybe bigger than they are because
02:11Once the game starts like you're just playing basketball and oh, by the way, I don't think jimmy butler hates tyler hero
02:19Like I don't he's gonna have a problem with these guys
02:21He's just gonna try to play basketball now the idea that it's another day for me. No, it's not
02:27No, it's not. I'm, sorry, dude
02:29You're a human being and there's gonna be some emotions when you walk into that building
02:32If it was just another day, you probably wouldn't have requested to fly out a day early
02:37To see some of the people he talked about in the first answer like you know
02:41I got friends inside the organization in the city hell in the state. Yep
02:45So yeah, there's a lot of emotions coming back to a place where you were for five years and you made relationships
02:52Not only the bad ones that everyone wants to highlight but the good ones. So yeah, there's gonna be a lot of emotions
02:56Uh, he was asked about people that think he's the sole reason everything went south in miami
03:02I wonder if they look at the heat the same way and like I was the one that was doing everything
03:05So, uh, it's got to be 50 50 maybe 51 49 49 towards them 51 towards me
03:12But there's no way that I was a cause of all of this. Okay
03:15I actually you want to know what I love about that answer
03:19is
03:20First of all, I think it's factual almost nothing not everything but almost nothing is like a hundred percent
03:27One person's fault very very few things I think in life are you could think of some excessive things and i'll agree with you
03:33But very few
03:34But jimmy is also taking some accountability in there. He's like, yeah, i'll put 50 on me
03:38In fact, he's like how about if I put 51 on me i'll take the i'll take the majority share
03:44But not all my fault and he's got to be right on that. He has to be
03:48There's no way that this is all on jimmy. No, of course not and if you look at what they did
03:54After jimmy got suspended for the first time they went out and they won basketball games
03:58And so they actually were still a competitive team
04:02With without jimmy butler when he was suspended and then you went about losing nine of your last ten. I know they beat charlotte
04:09Yesterday to end a actually a 10 game losing skid they had so good on you
04:14Miami, you got back in the win column
04:16But I don't know if you could put all that on jimmy and you look at those games mark
04:21They lost by five two five three
04:24Four three. No, they're competitive. I mean super competitive. Yeah, they're competitive though
04:29They'll play and they'll they will play tomorrow night and the warriors are gonna have to be on one and we don't really even know
04:34Yet if steph curry's gonna play one more from jimmy butler
04:37Um this on being portrayed as the quote bad guy
04:42Every time he leaves a place i'm always painted as the bad guy like everywhere i've been i've always been a problem
04:48We'll take it. I don't got nothing to say. Um, i'm not i'm not mad at being a bad guy
04:52Um, it's all the way that everything gets portrayed
04:55Some people talk to the media some people don't i've never been one to tell my side of the story to almost anybody, uh
05:01Let everybody think that this is what happened and uh, we'll ride with it and then in like a year's time
05:06It's gonna be somebody else's fault besides mine. Did you catch that?
05:09Did you catch that in that in that sound clip catch what?
05:13The guru sniff. Oh, yeah
05:16Yeah guru sniff in there. Yeah
05:18Right here about halfway through
05:21I'm always painted as the bad guy like everywhere i've been i've always been a problem. We'll take it
05:25I don't got nothing to say. I don't i'm not i'm not mad at being a bad guy
05:29Um, it's all the way that everything gets portrayed
05:32Some people talk to the media some people don't i've never been one to tell my side of the story to almost anybody. Uh,
05:38Let everybody think that this is what happened and uh, we'll ride with it and then in like a year's time
05:43It's gonna be somebody else's fault besides mine
05:47Yeah, I mean look
05:48You're not going to get many many uh much of an argument from anybody around here right now
05:53I I this has blended perfectly
05:56Yeah on the court and off I think and I do like what he said at the end like
06:00I'm, not one to really say my side a lot
06:02But we'll sit back in a year and then we can talk about whose fault it was
06:05Yeah, I mean and and most sports fans will just look at it and go
06:08What's the heat record since he left and what's the warriors record since he left speaks for itself
06:13We're brought to you by fremont bank here for you here for good
06:16Uh plenty more of your phone calls still ahead eight at eight nine five seven nine five seventy you have any reservations
06:22About pushing steph and jimmy as hard as possible the rest of the regular season
