Barry Jackson : Riley, asked about Butler trolling Celtics when he couldn’t play in the series: “If you’re not on the court playing, you should keep your mouth shut.”

    Oh man he’s absolutely fed up with jimmy lol

  2. oneofone305

    Yeah we might’ve been coping when we said the rumors were smoke. He’s smoking Jimmy in this conference and hasn’t said a single bad thing about Herro. This isn’t it

  3. Ngl, I love it. As a fan, I love seeing Jimmy troll. It’s funny as hell. But Pat’s tough and old school which is a big reason for his success. I’m glad to see he still has that edge.

    Is Pat trying to get Jimmy fired up by calling him out or trying to piss him off to ask for a trade? 🤔

    Riles definitely knows what he’s doing here. He’s challenging Jimmy because that’s how Jimmy gets motivated. Jimmy ain’t a type to request a trade after quotes like this.

    And at the end of the day, he’s right. We’re all fed up with Jimmy’s availability during the season.

    Lol. I don’t think Pat likes the premature declarations of victory either.

  7. You can be right but it doesn’t mean you have to say it.

  8. Nuclearsunburn

    I think Pat knows how to light that fire in his players, I don’t see this as anything but him doing that.

  9. SpotLightGuy

    THANK GOD. Jimmy talks too much and always has.

    This shouldn’t come of as a surprise around here. Goran just said the other day on The OGs how blunt Pat was with him, and we know how blunt Pat is going back to his Laker days. I would assume and hope Jimmy doesn’t take offense to it.

    I think Pat knows that he was trolling. Anyone with half a brain that saw the video KNOWS that Jimmy was trolling.

    But it still speaks volumes that he felt the need to say this in his exit interview. I know he’s always harsh with his comments but I think there’s a veiled message here for Jimmy to stop taking everything so lightly.

    Hold up a min

  13. I mean, was there ever really a season of actual Heat basketball?

    – Herro, love or hate him, played only half the season

    – Robinson got derailed with a back injury he didn’t seem to actually recover from properly, after playing so well before

    – Butler played the second most games he has for the Heat this season. (58 (Covid season tho), 52, 57, 64, 60.) We definitely needed more out of him this season either playing more or playing a bit better, avoiding the play-in would of been huge for us and we likely are still in the playoffs.

    – Rozier missed a few on/off to start, then missed everything in the post-season

    – Richardson gets injured and misses half the season

    – Kevin Love was injured for a solid stretch

    – Dru Smith freak injury before the season even starts

    Heat only had 2 lineups clear 100 min for the season:

    Rozier/Robinson/Butler/Jovic Bam at 181 min (-6.8 net) &

    Herro/Martin/Butler/Jovic/Bam at 109 min (+1.9 net)

    I don’t know how to fix the health, but we never got to see what this team actually looks like, at all, this season. It needs to be examined, there are way too many injuries to call it freak luck and is an underlying issue.

    People are ovearreacting. Pat isn’t just up there shooting the shit. His comments about Jimmy have been very pointed. He’s clearly sending a message and trying to motivate Jimmy.

    We all know Jimmy is a mf’er. This shit will fuel him all offseason.

  15. blknproud

    I don’t agree with saying it on that platform, but he’s right. But also maybe if the front office got him some actual help …
