Speaker 1 (00:49):
We have Ja Glazer coming up in about twenty minutes,
all the big preview of the NFL Draft. What's gonna
happen at two? What are the Texans gonna do? Where's
Bijon Robinson going to go?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
All?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
We got so much drama from a guy who's gonna
be on the air right here tomorrow night on Fox
Sports Radio. But we still have to get into the
end of this heat Bucks game that absolute defies logic
with the amount of drama that it had in the
last six seconds of regulation and the final play of overtime.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
You know, first of all, a.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Game won by the Heat, the Heat move on to
the next round of the playoffs. It's gonna be the
Heat and the Knicks. And one of those teams is
in the Eastern Conference Finals, Manhattan, and it's gonna be
the Knicks. One of those teams, either an eight seed
or the Knicks are gonna be in the Eastern Conference Finals. Again,
an eight seed or the Knicks will be in the
(01:46):
Eastern Conference Finals. Just think about that. It's so giddy.
You had some very questionable calls at the end of
regulation that help this along towards the Bucks. The referees
make a really bad foul call on Kyle Lowry with
a couple of seconds left in regulation, a loose ball
(02:10):
that Lowry's going to get, but they blow the whistle.
Lowry stops chasing the ball because it goes out of bounds.
Really bad foul call. They go back and look at
it and say, oh, yeah, you know what, you're right,
no foul. But they put a jump ball at mid
court even though Lowry would have easily have gotten to
that basketball and the Heat would have had possession with
a few seconds left to go. So they run the
(02:31):
jump ball and Giannis almost throws it away. Chris Middleton
is able to save it to keep it from going
out of bounds.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
The Bucks get fouled.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
They go to the free throw line and they make
one out of two, so it's a two point game.
With two point one seconds left to go, the Heat
throw an inbound an alley oop to Jimmy Butler, who
gets away with not just a little bit of a
push off, quite a bit of a push off with
his left arm, but falling down with one hand.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
He catches the ball and and and.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Just chucks it up from right inside the elbow and swish,
and we go to overtime.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
I mean, look, that was about as egregious as a
sauce gardener holding non holding.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Call not holding if they don't call it.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
No.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
Likewise, here, it's not a foul.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
It's good physical contact as guys are going for a
loose basketball.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I mean, that's one of those, you know.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I forgive Jimmy Jimmy buckets for only scoring like twenty
a game in the regular season because he's this guy
in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I mean you talk. I mean.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
They got into the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You know, you have like playing Pat Bev and all that.
Now you got a playoff Jimmy man, and that's really
a thing. He makes a big I mean this hoop
that Jimmy Buckets makes, I mean the degree of difficulty
on it.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I mean you can see that play. How many times
you think a guy's.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Gonna make that play where you're chucking it in from
from from the side and Jimmy Butler is gonna push off,
grab it falling down and with one hand just continued
in one motion. Hey hey, Tom, he's going to create space.
How many creates space?
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Yeah, you make it sound like he just shoved him
to the deck leg he piled drove him and then
got up and caught the ball.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Let's hear how it.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Sounded on the Heat Radio network because game is stepping as.
Speaker 7 (04:22):
Far back as he can with three four in his face,
Simmy to the rim.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
The cats put up it.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
He caught it and made it twelve.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
He was straight.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
It's done with regulations. We're tired at one eighteen for
one reason.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Over Chits Buckets.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Jason Jackson Heat Radio Network on the call.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I mean the degree of difficulty on at one motion
catch falling down and throwing it. How many guys? I mean,
what do you think the percentage chance was he was
gonna make that shot?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Ten? Less than ten percent?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Five percent chance when you're talking about the pressure of
here's the play coming in. I gotta make sure I
get the ball. I gotta make sure I catch the ball.
But I catch it and I'm falling down and I'm
just chucking it up with one hand. I mean, really,
I think it's good with lesson, let maybe five percent
chance of making that shot.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I don't know about me. I'm just guessing what that
would be.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
How great was that? And you notice in that call
there's nothing about contact being made at all.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
No, No, well it's the Heat Radio Network. They're not
gonna call back. Come on, here's the throw in Jimmy
with the push off. They don't call it. Yes, we're
going overtime. No, not gonna do it that way.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
You might have been able to as the color analyst, Yeah,
you might have gotten away with a little bit of
a push there.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
But yeah, but let's ignore that. We're not gonna talk
about that right.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Now, sweet victory.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I mean really, he had maybe what a five percent chance?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
I don't know what the the advanced analytics will say
a degree of difficulty was quite high, except it's Jimmy.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
So you have the Jimmy Butler heroics and then we
go to overtime and overtime unfolds it's going the Heat way.
They had a big lead, the Bucks were able to
cut it down and they had a chance to tie
or win the game after they rebound a long three
with a little bit less than ten seconds left to go.
(06:28):
How did that final possession go for the Milwaukee Bucks.
This is how Jonas has it.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Eight seconds to go beat up two runs riding to
Jimmy's flocks, get to the Middleton back out to Allen two.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
What he didn't get that shot up?
Speaker 5 (06:44):
But Bamy Heat advanced to the second round. They are
just the sixth hate seat to defeat a number one
seat in the secondy sixties of the National Basketball Associations.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
In New York.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Here weee.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Start spreading the news.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
We'll be there on Saturday night to play poul on Sunday.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Hey, God plus America.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
See on Saturday. We have great hotels.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
We'll be waiting for you at MSG at home Court
advantage enjoy well waiting for you, Jason.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
We're waiting for you by say you're gonna be there. Wait.
I am part of the NYE. I've been trying to.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Driving the bucks on Nick's Nation for for you all year,
on this all year, and I've been waiting for a
second round of a playoff since twenty thirteen. Come on, man,
but look this final play, this final sequence, there's a
lot that's gonna go, that's gonna go. Why did Chris
Middleton pass right? Because it comes down you hear Jason
Jackson Giannis runs into Jimmy.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Butler and there's nothing he can do.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
He passes back to Chris Middleton and he falls down
at the side. Middleton looks doesn't like the look he has.
I don't know why. He's got a pretty decent look
at the free throw line. I don't think anybody's getting
in his face. But he gives it back to Grayson
Allen and then he's looking for the ball back. However,
the defender comes out and Grace Allen has no choice
with a couple of seconds left, but to take a shot.
(08:17):
He tries to drive to the hoop and then really
the big euro step.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Like, whoa Grayson Allen? He checked for Grayson Allen. Let
me see if I can take this euro step. But
he doesn't get the shot off in time. It doesn't
go and the heat win.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
And Grayson Allen's gonna get gonna get killed? Why does
Graceon Allen have the ball? Why does Grace Nowen not
make that decision? Chris Middleton's gonna get killed? Why does
Chris Middleton not take that shot? I don't know why.
I mean, this is a guy that's taken big shots before.
I don't know why he suddenly backed away from it.
But let's talk about Giannis, because this play starts to
(09:01):
break down because Jiannis doesn't get back up and get
back in the.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Play, right.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
This play breaks down when your number one option and
your biggest superstar, the best player in the game, suddenly
is out of the mix. Yeah, things are gonna get harry,
things are gonna get weird. And that's why I'm surprised
Middleton didn't. Because Middleton saw him go down. He's got
Middleton saw before the pass came back to him. Janna's
falled out. He's got to go Okay, Jannis is out
of this now, so I gotta figure something else out
(09:27):
and he doesn't, and a little bit of a panic
pass back to Allan looking for an open guy, because
I don't want to tell him looking for an open guy,
open guy, open guy. But this whole thing, really it
comes down to Giannis because he comes down the floor
and it looks like he's gonna try to dribble and
try to get by Jimmy Butler and he kind of
runs into Jimmy Butler and the way the play goes,
(09:49):
and I've seen this play now like fifty times, Yanni's
kind of he's running into Butler and he turns to
pass it because he's got nothing else to go because
he runs into Jimmy Butler and he's gonna fall down
lose the ball, so he turns to pass the ball
back to somebody, and he throws the ball back to
Middleton and he kind of jumps in the air and
(10:11):
goes down almost.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Like he thinks I can draw a foul here. I
mean watched the.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Play, watch it because he doesn't just Hey, I'm turning
and I'm passing you. When I'm falling down, he kind
of jumps, And I don't know why he kind of jumps,
because I don't. You don't really lose your balance and jump.
So I'm wondering, is he trying to cause a foul there?
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Thinks he's gonna get that Chris Paul call in?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Why don't I get those calls in the back court
when I pretend I'm shooting from my own free throw line?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
And you heard.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Jason Jackson say flop and I'm like, you know, watch,
I wonder if that's what he was trying to do,
which really, what does that tell you about Giannis and
the mental mindset? If that's what he was trying to do,
I'm trying to get a foul on this play where
we can either shoot for a win or get in
the lane for a layup and try to tie this game.
But not only does that happen, so now I question
(11:01):
what he was trying to do. But he does not
get back up right and watch how long it takes
him to get back up. He could if he could
have gotten back up faster again, And I don't want
to say.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
You know, look, Giannis may have been dinged up, may
have been shaken up a little bit. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
All I can do is say what I saw on
this play. And it takes Giannis a long time to
get back up, so much so that he's not in
the play.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
If he gets back up faster, he gets the ball
back and he maybe and he's the one taking the
last the last shot. Jimmy Butler is on him and something,
but he gets he doesn't get back up until there's
no chance for him to get in on this, and
he kind of lopes into the lane looking for a
potential rebound. The shot doesn't go, and he turns and
starts walking back up court. Now, I don't know. I
(11:44):
want to hear from Giannis what he has to say
after the game about that last play. But boy, those
two things, Mike, they really stand out to me. The
jump when he passed back and then hit the ground
like they're gonna blow the whistle. And then the fact
he doesn't get back up fast at all and doesn't
get back in the play really really weird.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Yeah, the contortionist attempt at at the body angle to
get the ball back to Middleton is odd. Look, he's
a seven foot guy crashing to the ground. It took
him three and a half seconds to get back up.
So based on the fact that there's only five seconds
left of it's an eternity, but in reality not a
huge deal. He also thought, hey, Middleton's a good number
(12:23):
two guy. He's got this. And then the ball goes
to Alan, It never goes up right, beats his man
off the dribble with the sides. You know what, I'm
gonna take that extra step instead of a little floater
in the lane, Middleton passing it to Alan, instead of
taking that shot at the free throw line, the heat
being dopey and taking a bad three point shot with
(12:45):
five seconds left on the shot class Clark, it's just
a comedy of errors all around.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Oh man, I'll tell you this is Mike Buttenholzer. Stay
off of social media. Stay off of social media for
a long long time. If they call you into the
office for a big post me If Mallory Eatons calls
you and says, coach, we got to talk and it's
her and Aaron Rodgers in there, yeah, blow off the
meeting like George Costanza.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
They can't fire. If they can't fight.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
Look, you know Joe Peshy Goodfellow's kind of moments.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
But boy, really, I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I look at that Giannis play and I go, what
was going through his head there? What was happening to
him right there? Those two things at the end, absolute
and sin.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Well, they call out the flop in the play by play,
as you alluded to, I think he just kind of
got caught in no man's land and just his feet
came out from under him, kind of the contact with Butler,
so as he contorts, instead of trying to re establish
a pivot for which would take more time to then
turn and pass to Middleton, who by then was going
to be doubled up, he just tried to get the
(13:45):
ball out of his hands.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Is he still the best player on the planet?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Seven? Jalen Brunson is the best. We know that. Now
we know Jalen Brunson's the best. Nicks Nix and the Eater, Come,
the Knicks and the Heat, Nix and the Heater.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
C gim me here it come.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
The play is Jimmy Buckets.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
With two seconds left in the game, he performs a
degree of difficulty that had to be ten thousand times
more difficult than almost anything he could possibly do on
the court at Jimmy Buckets sends the game to overtime.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
In the Play of the Night, Davis.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
Severing us far back he can with three four in
his face, Jimmy to the rim, the cats put.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Up it's.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
He caught it and.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Made it well, he was straight. It's done with regulations.
We're tied at on eighteen for one reason. Over simm
Chits Buckets.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Jason Jackson Heat Radio Network on the call, Jimmy Butler's shot,
his heroics, uh, unbelievable. And now we get to Gianni's
final play of the game in overtime with the Heat
protecting a two point lead. Giannis pushes the ball up court,
runs into Jimmy Butler, goes down, maybe tries to draw
a foul by going down, doesn't get back up and
(15:54):
get back into the play fast enough. As a result,
Chris Middleton panics passes the ball to Grace an Allen,
who doesn't get off a final shot, and the Bucks
go home like what are they doing? A lot of
questions for the Bucks? Why the Middleton not shoot? Why
did Grace and Allen take so long? What was up
with Jannis not getting up fast enough? Did he try
to draw a foul? Here's Jannis following the game. He
(16:17):
has asked a question by a by an athletic by
reporter from the Athletic who asks Jannis if this season
is a failure, And this is Jannis's response, Oh my.
Speaker 8 (16:32):
God, okay, because I'm not at all you asked me
the same question last year. Eric, Okay, Uh do you get?
Do you get the promotion? Every year on your job. No, right,
So every year you work, it's a failure, yes or no.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
No.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
Every every year you work, you work towards something to
ars ago, right, which is to get a promotion, to
be able, to take care of your family, to be able,
I don't know, provide the house for them, or take
care of your parents. You work towards ago. It's not
a failure. It steps to success, you know. And if
you've never I don't know. I don't want to. I
(17:11):
don't make it personal. So there's always steps to it,
you know. Michael Jordan played fifteen years, one six championship,
the other nine years was a failure. That's what you're
telling me. I'm asking you a question, yes or no? Okay, exactly,
So why you ask me that question? It's the wrong question.
(17:32):
There's no failure in sports, you know, there's good days,
bad days.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Some days, some.
Speaker 8 (17:37):
Days you are able to be successful, so that you're
not some days it's your turn. So this it's not
your turn. And that's what sports about. You don't always win.
Some other other people are gonna win.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
So that's like the nicest way to be really pissed off.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
He started to he's starting to go, I'm not gonna
make it personal.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
I think you did seen Talladega Knights. I know I
don't hear first.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
There's no failure in sports. Really, Oh that makes me
feel better about the Jets list. There's no failure in sports.
But that is like, that's the defen How is someone
quietly pissed?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
No, that's what that is right there? Like did you
get a promotion this year?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
The beginning of the video, when he's asked it the
seasons of failure, he covers his face and goes, oh
my god, Okay, you asked me the same question last year, Eric,
I do.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
That's my favorite part. Oh boy, ask me the same question.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Eric.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
Now let's go in on you a little bit.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Is this a fail Let's see about what what kind
of words did you write this year?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Eric? Did you do enough?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Did you get.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Did you get enough clicks to make sure it went forward?
You make sure you're getting you're taking care of your.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Family and buy the house.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I mean, look, I give Giannis a lot of credit
because that's a question, that's a it's a big trigger
kind of question, and he answers it in a way
where you could.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Tell how mad he is.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
But yet is his voice never get never raises above
just a normal level. Just hey, oh yeah, hey, you listen,
you don't do okay, okay, So that's it. I mean,
that's rere. I could never have answered that way.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
I could never well, especially when you remember that you
were asked the same question last year. Yeah, you allude
to it and it starts to get you. You can
feel like if he was on a blood pressure monitor
right there, it would have started to elevate Jason.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
The Jets got Aaron Rodgers and they won four games.
Was this season of failure?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Yes, it's the biggest bleeping failure in the world. There's
no bigger failure than what just.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
Happened of the snaps. So we got to give up
a first
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Coming up next, my buddy Ben Mallard draft us tomorrow

all the big preview of the NFL Draft. What's gonna
happen at two? What are the Texans gonna do? Where's
Bijon Robinson going to go?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
All?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
We got so much drama from a guy who's gonna
be on the air right here tomorrow night on Fox
Sports Radio. But we still have to get into the
end of this heat Bucks game that absolute defies logic
with the amount of drama that it had in the
last six seconds of regulation and the final play of overtime.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
You know, first of all, a.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Game won by the Heat, the Heat move on to
the next round of the playoffs. It's gonna be the
Heat and the Knicks. And one of those teams is
in the Eastern Conference Finals, Manhattan, and it's gonna be
the Knicks. One of those teams, either an eight seed
or the Knicks are gonna be in the Eastern Conference Finals. Again,
an eight seed or the Knicks will be in the
(01:46):
Eastern Conference Finals. Just think about that. It's so giddy.
You had some very questionable calls at the end of
regulation that help this along towards the Bucks. The referees
make a really bad foul call on Kyle Lowry with
a couple of seconds left in regulation, a loose ball
(02:10):
that Lowry's going to get, but they blow the whistle.
Lowry stops chasing the ball because it goes out of bounds.
Really bad foul call. They go back and look at
it and say, oh, yeah, you know what, you're right,
no foul. But they put a jump ball at mid
court even though Lowry would have easily have gotten to
that basketball and the Heat would have had possession with
a few seconds left to go. So they run the
(02:31):
jump ball and Giannis almost throws it away. Chris Middleton
is able to save it to keep it from going
out of bounds.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
The Bucks get fouled.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
They go to the free throw line and they make
one out of two, so it's a two point game.
With two point one seconds left to go, the Heat
throw an inbound an alley oop to Jimmy Butler, who
gets away with not just a little bit of a
push off, quite a bit of a push off with
his left arm, but falling down with one hand.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
He catches the ball and and and.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Just chucks it up from right inside the elbow and swish,
and we go to overtime.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
I mean, look, that was about as egregious as a
sauce gardener holding non holding.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Call not holding if they don't call it.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
No.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
Likewise, here, it's not a foul.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
It's good physical contact as guys are going for a
loose basketball.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I mean, that's one of those, you know.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I forgive Jimmy Jimmy buckets for only scoring like twenty
a game in the regular season because he's this guy
in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I mean you talk. I mean.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
They got into the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You know, you have like playing Pat Bev and all that.
Now you got a playoff Jimmy man, and that's really
a thing. He makes a big I mean this hoop
that Jimmy Buckets makes, I mean the degree of difficulty
on it.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I mean you can see that play. How many times
you think a guy's.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Gonna make that play where you're chucking it in from
from from the side and Jimmy Butler is gonna push off,
grab it falling down and with one hand just continued
in one motion. Hey hey, Tom, he's going to create space.
How many creates space?
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Yeah, you make it sound like he just shoved him
to the deck leg he piled drove him and then
got up and caught the ball.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Let's hear how it.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Sounded on the Heat Radio network because game is stepping as.
Speaker 7 (04:22):
Far back as he can with three four in his face,
Simmy to the rim.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
The cats put up it.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
He caught it and made it twelve.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
He was straight.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
It's done with regulations. We're tired at one eighteen for
one reason.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Over Chits Buckets.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Jason Jackson Heat Radio Network on the call.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I mean the degree of difficulty on at one motion
catch falling down and throwing it. How many guys? I mean,
what do you think the percentage chance was he was
gonna make that shot?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Ten? Less than ten percent?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Five percent chance when you're talking about the pressure of
here's the play coming in. I gotta make sure I
get the ball. I gotta make sure I catch the ball.
But I catch it and I'm falling down and I'm
just chucking it up with one hand. I mean, really,
I think it's good with lesson, let maybe five percent
chance of making that shot.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I don't know about me. I'm just guessing what that
would be.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
How great was that? And you notice in that call
there's nothing about contact being made at all.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
No, No, well it's the Heat Radio Network. They're not
gonna call back. Come on, here's the throw in Jimmy
with the push off. They don't call it. Yes, we're
going overtime. No, not gonna do it that way.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
You might have been able to as the color analyst, Yeah,
you might have gotten away with a little bit of
a push there.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
But yeah, but let's ignore that. We're not gonna talk
about that right.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Now, sweet victory.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I mean really, he had maybe what a five percent chance?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
I don't know what the the advanced analytics will say
a degree of difficulty was quite high, except it's Jimmy.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
So you have the Jimmy Butler heroics and then we
go to overtime and overtime unfolds it's going the Heat way.
They had a big lead, the Bucks were able to
cut it down and they had a chance to tie
or win the game after they rebound a long three
with a little bit less than ten seconds left to go.
(06:28):
How did that final possession go for the Milwaukee Bucks.
This is how Jonas has it.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Eight seconds to go beat up two runs riding to
Jimmy's flocks, get to the Middleton back out to Allen two.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
What he didn't get that shot up?
Speaker 5 (06:44):
But Bamy Heat advanced to the second round. They are
just the sixth hate seat to defeat a number one
seat in the secondy sixties of the National Basketball Associations.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
In New York.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Here weee.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Start spreading the news.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
We'll be there on Saturday night to play poul on Sunday.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Hey, God plus America.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
See on Saturday. We have great hotels.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
We'll be waiting for you at MSG at home Court
advantage enjoy well waiting for you, Jason.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
We're waiting for you by say you're gonna be there. Wait.
I am part of the NYE. I've been trying to.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Driving the bucks on Nick's Nation for for you all year,
on this all year, and I've been waiting for a
second round of a playoff since twenty thirteen. Come on, man,
but look this final play, this final sequence, there's a
lot that's gonna go, that's gonna go. Why did Chris
Middleton pass right? Because it comes down you hear Jason
Jackson Giannis runs into Jimmy.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Butler and there's nothing he can do.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
He passes back to Chris Middleton and he falls down
at the side. Middleton looks doesn't like the look he has.
I don't know why. He's got a pretty decent look
at the free throw line. I don't think anybody's getting
in his face. But he gives it back to Grayson
Allen and then he's looking for the ball back. However,
the defender comes out and Grace Allen has no choice
with a couple of seconds left, but to take a shot.
(08:17):
He tries to drive to the hoop and then really
the big euro step.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Like, whoa Grayson Allen? He checked for Grayson Allen. Let
me see if I can take this euro step. But
he doesn't get the shot off in time. It doesn't
go and the heat win.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
And Grayson Allen's gonna get gonna get killed? Why does
Graceon Allen have the ball? Why does Grace Nowen not
make that decision? Chris Middleton's gonna get killed? Why does
Chris Middleton not take that shot? I don't know why.
I mean, this is a guy that's taken big shots before.
I don't know why he suddenly backed away from it.
But let's talk about Giannis, because this play starts to
(09:01):
break down because Jiannis doesn't get back up and get
back in the.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Play, right.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
This play breaks down when your number one option and
your biggest superstar, the best player in the game, suddenly
is out of the mix. Yeah, things are gonna get harry,
things are gonna get weird. And that's why I'm surprised
Middleton didn't. Because Middleton saw him go down. He's got
Middleton saw before the pass came back to him. Janna's
falled out. He's got to go Okay, Jannis is out
of this now, so I gotta figure something else out
(09:27):
and he doesn't, and a little bit of a panic
pass back to Allan looking for an open guy, because
I don't want to tell him looking for an open guy,
open guy, open guy. But this whole thing, really it
comes down to Giannis because he comes down the floor
and it looks like he's gonna try to dribble and
try to get by Jimmy Butler and he kind of
runs into Jimmy Butler and the way the play goes,
(09:49):
and I've seen this play now like fifty times, Yanni's
kind of he's running into Butler and he turns to
pass it because he's got nothing else to go because
he runs into Jimmy Butler and he's gonna fall down
lose the ball, so he turns to pass the ball
back to somebody, and he throws the ball back to
Middleton and he kind of jumps in the air and
(10:11):
goes down almost.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Like he thinks I can draw a foul here. I
mean watched the.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Play, watch it because he doesn't just Hey, I'm turning
and I'm passing you. When I'm falling down, he kind
of jumps, And I don't know why he kind of jumps,
because I don't. You don't really lose your balance and jump.
So I'm wondering, is he trying to cause a foul there?
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Thinks he's gonna get that Chris Paul call in?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Why don't I get those calls in the back court
when I pretend I'm shooting from my own free throw line?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
And you heard.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Jason Jackson say flop and I'm like, you know, watch,
I wonder if that's what he was trying to do,
which really, what does that tell you about Giannis and
the mental mindset? If that's what he was trying to do,
I'm trying to get a foul on this play where
we can either shoot for a win or get in
the lane for a layup and try to tie this game.
But not only does that happen, so now I question
(11:01):
what he was trying to do. But he does not
get back up right and watch how long it takes
him to get back up. He could if he could
have gotten back up faster again, And I don't want
to say.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
You know, look, Giannis may have been dinged up, may
have been shaken up a little bit. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
All I can do is say what I saw on
this play. And it takes Giannis a long time to
get back up, so much so that he's not in
the play.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
If he gets back up faster, he gets the ball
back and he maybe and he's the one taking the
last the last shot. Jimmy Butler is on him and something,
but he gets he doesn't get back up until there's
no chance for him to get in on this, and
he kind of lopes into the lane looking for a
potential rebound. The shot doesn't go, and he turns and
starts walking back up court. Now, I don't know. I
(11:44):
want to hear from Giannis what he has to say
after the game about that last play. But boy, those
two things, Mike, they really stand out to me. The
jump when he passed back and then hit the ground
like they're gonna blow the whistle. And then the fact
he doesn't get back up fast at all and doesn't
get back in the play really really weird.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Yeah, the contortionist attempt at at the body angle to
get the ball back to Middleton is odd. Look, he's
a seven foot guy crashing to the ground. It took
him three and a half seconds to get back up.
So based on the fact that there's only five seconds
left of it's an eternity, but in reality not a
huge deal. He also thought, hey, Middleton's a good number
(12:23):
two guy. He's got this. And then the ball goes
to Alan, It never goes up right, beats his man
off the dribble with the sides. You know what, I'm
gonna take that extra step instead of a little floater
in the lane, Middleton passing it to Alan, instead of
taking that shot at the free throw line, the heat
being dopey and taking a bad three point shot with
(12:45):
five seconds left on the shot class Clark, it's just
a comedy of errors all around.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Oh man, I'll tell you this is Mike Buttenholzer. Stay
off of social media. Stay off of social media for
a long long time. If they call you into the
office for a big post me If Mallory Eatons calls
you and says, coach, we got to talk and it's
her and Aaron Rodgers in there, yeah, blow off the
meeting like George Costanza.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
They can't fire. If they can't fight.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
Look, you know Joe Peshy Goodfellow's kind of moments.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
But boy, really, I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I look at that Giannis play and I go, what
was going through his head there? What was happening to
him right there? Those two things at the end, absolute
and sin.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Well, they call out the flop in the play by play,
as you alluded to, I think he just kind of
got caught in no man's land and just his feet
came out from under him, kind of the contact with Butler,
so as he contorts, instead of trying to re establish
a pivot for which would take more time to then
turn and pass to Middleton, who by then was going
to be doubled up, he just tried to get the
(13:45):
ball out of his hands.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Is he still the best player on the planet?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Seven? Jalen Brunson is the best. We know that. Now
we know Jalen Brunson's the best. Nicks Nix and the Eater, Come,
the Knicks and the Heat, Nix and the Heater.
Speaker 6 (13:58):

Speaker 3 (14:40):
The play is Jimmy Buckets.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
With two seconds left in the game, he performs a
degree of difficulty that had to be ten thousand times
more difficult than almost anything he could possibly do on
the court at Jimmy Buckets sends the game to overtime.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
In the Play of the Night, Davis.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
Severing us far back he can with three four in
his face, Jimmy to the rim, the cats put.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Up it's.
Speaker 6 (15:11):
He caught it and.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Made it well, he was straight. It's done with regulations.
We're tied at on eighteen for one reason. Over simm
Chits Buckets.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Jason Jackson Heat Radio Network on the call, Jimmy Butler's shot,
his heroics, uh, unbelievable. And now we get to Gianni's
final play of the game in overtime with the Heat
protecting a two point lead. Giannis pushes the ball up court,
runs into Jimmy Butler, goes down, maybe tries to draw
a foul by going down, doesn't get back up and
(15:54):
get back into the play fast enough. As a result,
Chris Middleton panics passes the ball to Grace an Allen,
who doesn't get off a final shot, and the Bucks
go home like what are they doing? A lot of
questions for the Bucks? Why the Middleton not shoot? Why
did Grace and Allen take so long? What was up
with Jannis not getting up fast enough? Did he try
to draw a foul? Here's Jannis following the game. He
(16:17):
has asked a question by a by an athletic by
reporter from the Athletic who asks Jannis if this season
is a failure, And this is Jannis's response, Oh my.
Speaker 8 (16:32):
God, okay, because I'm not at all you asked me
the same question last year. Eric, Okay, Uh do you get?
Do you get the promotion? Every year on your job. No, right,
So every year you work, it's a failure, yes or no.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
No.
Speaker 8 (16:50):
Every every year you work, you work towards something to
ars ago, right, which is to get a promotion, to
be able, to take care of your family, to be able,
I don't know, provide the house for them, or take
care of your parents. You work towards ago. It's not
a failure. It steps to success, you know. And if
you've never I don't know. I don't want to. I
(17:11):
don't make it personal. So there's always steps to it,
you know. Michael Jordan played fifteen years, one six championship,
the other nine years was a failure. That's what you're
telling me. I'm asking you a question, yes or no? Okay, exactly,
So why you ask me that question? It's the wrong question.
(17:32):
There's no failure in sports, you know, there's good days,
bad days.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Some days, some.
Speaker 8 (17:37):
Days you are able to be successful, so that you're
not some days it's your turn. So this it's not
your turn. And that's what sports about. You don't always win.
Some other other people are gonna win.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
So that's like the nicest way to be really pissed off.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
He started to he's starting to go, I'm not gonna
make it personal.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
I think you did seen Talladega Knights. I know I
don't hear first.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
There's no failure in sports. Really, Oh that makes me
feel better about the Jets list. There's no failure in sports.
But that is like, that's the defen How is someone
quietly pissed?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
No, that's what that is right there? Like did you
get a promotion this year?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
The beginning of the video, when he's asked it the
seasons of failure, he covers his face and goes, oh
my god, Okay, you asked me the same question last year, Eric,
I do.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
That's my favorite part. Oh boy, ask me the same question.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Eric.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
Now let's go in on you a little bit.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Is this a fail Let's see about what what kind
of words did you write this year?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Eric? Did you do enough?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Did you get.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Did you get enough clicks to make sure it went forward?
You make sure you're getting you're taking care of your.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Family and buy the house.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I mean, look, I give Giannis a lot of credit
because that's a question, that's a it's a big trigger
kind of question, and he answers it in a way
where you could.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Tell how mad he is.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
But yet is his voice never get never raises above
just a normal level. Just hey, oh yeah, hey, you listen,
you don't do okay, okay, So that's it. I mean,
that's rere. I could never have answered that way.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
I could never well, especially when you remember that you
were asked the same question last year. Yeah, you allude
to it and it starts to get you. You can
feel like if he was on a blood pressure monitor
right there, it would have started to elevate Jason.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
The Jets got Aaron Rodgers and they won four games.
Was this season of failure?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Yes, it's the biggest bleeping failure in the world. There's
no bigger failure than what just.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
Happened of the snaps. So we got to give up
a first
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Coming up next, my buddy Ben Mallard draft us tomorrow
