Here’s the quote (with video) from Tyreek Hill on Mike McDaniel going for it on 4th and 7: “McDaniel’s gonna need a wheel barrow for his nuts to carry them around.”
Butler on spoiling the Lakers party: “I’m sure they (Lakers) wanted to win. Thought they were going to win going into it....I think it’s going to be even harder the next game (for us). And I like our chances <smiles>.”
Jimmy Butler on the Heat: "You've got a group that's a lot like me. The fan base is incredible...This is what makes me smile...I wish I could have done it for the city."
Jimmy Butler says he won’t wear anything on the back of his jersey. Not even his name. Wants it blank as his own social justice message. He feels like it represents who he would be if he weren’t a basketball player.

for seeing this first, but how about Christian Wilkins laughing at the entire Eagles team after that Dolphins trick play TD? 🤣🤣
Jimmy Butler on the Chris Paul/Duncan Robinson altercation: “you’re not gonna throw the ball at my teammate like that...you mess with one of my guys? Especially one of my shooters? Then you gotta deal with me and everybody else.”
Meyers Leonard on hearing people complain about being in the bubble: “we’re getting paid millions of dollars to play basketball for crying out loud...we’re going to be okay.” Adds perspective w family who are in military and also why the Heat are built for this.
So Cronin asked Lillard to sit to actively tank. Then out of spite, took a deal way below what he could’ve gotten from Miami.
Somehow this is okay with the league office? Man, I feel bad for Blazers fans.
Hate that the narrative after tonight will be about the Heat getting run off the floor.
This team is gassed and two of their three best players suffered brutal injuries at the worst time.
Magic Johnson says this year's Heat team is "awesome," but he says they're going to be even better in the future thanks to the moves Pat Riley has made to get under the cap.
Early injury report for the Dolphins: TD and Chris Grier are doubtful vs Buffalo after getting planted by Jevon Holland and Christian Wilkins during postgame celebrations 😂.
More fun postgame video here.
More Fitzpatrick: "I basically got fired yesterday and then my day at work today consisted of me in zoom meetings listening to the guy who fired me & then locked in a spaced out room with my replacement for four hours."
Stresses that he will help Tua in every way moving forward.
NBA rules that this was the correct no-call. Strus stayed within the legal area.
Only incorrect call was the foul on Vincent. Should have been a no-call.
Full two minute report here:
By the way, when you hear people say “the Heat don’t leak anything,” it’s true. With one exception.
Once Dan starts talking, it’s because the Heat are fed up, IMO.
Official response from the NBA on this shot to the face of
@CJC9BOSS
from Davis: “We review every play in the games from all angles and there was nothing further to do with this.”
Tua says he's excited, but also feels badly for Fitz.
Laughs about his relationship with Fitzpatrick "I hate to say it, but it's kinda like a father and son thing."
Contrast how the Blazers are handling Dame vs how the Wizards handled Beal.
Washington had the honest talk with Beal that it was time to move on and they seamlessly found him a good spot.
Blazers wanted Dame to be the bad guy and then dictate the deal.
Tyreek Hill: “I’ve never seen a butt punt…but next time (Sherfield’s) gonna catch it with his butt cheeks. Because he’s got strong butt cheeks.”
(Now with video)
On CBS broadcast,
@AKinkhabwala
says Tua told them multiple times last year he looked in the mirror and asked himself “do I suck?” Because of how critical fans and coaches had been.
Butler: “Goran was stinky in the first half.” 😂
Also says that Bam Adebayo is the heart and soul of this team. “When he’s playing at a high level, it’s gonna be tough for anybody to beat us.”
The scariest thing about UM getting Mario is that they’re not just adding Mario. They’re adding Mario and a new level of commitment to football.
They just hired a football coach before hiring an AD. Seems pretty telling.
