TV and check out five reasons and there was a lot of times where you were like all right Caleb has a hand on him but like come on that's not a foul and and the one time on the sideline where like Tyler didn't even touch him and he flailed his arms and got a foul like he's just that level of star that he gets that call but you have to be disciplined with your hands you have to take good angles you have to really get out there you know like bogdanovich got us in transition a couple times but like Trey is that guy that can pull up from anywhere um you just you just have to be smart about what you do and and I think Caleb did a good job I think the secondary guys that you don't really think about when they got switched on to him they did a good job and and you just seal him off from the the lane and force him to be a passer yes it produces what 13 assists as you said but if you get six turnovers and you get subpar shooting at the end it's kind of a win for the heat you're right and I also I wna before we skip too far ahead stop on Bama bio for a minute because there's been I think a um as he's getting re acclimated and you know there were 10 turnovers between Tyler hero and Bam a bio so when we talk about them getting re acclimated with this team we we're seeing them have to deal with some of that live and in color but uh people talked about bam maybe looking labored because of his HIIT I don't necessarily buy into that Matt is that something that you think we should be thinking about or do you see anything that would indicate to you to me bam aabo just had a a sloppier night with six turnover tonight I don't think that it's any indication of him being labored from an injured perspect or hurt perspective I don't want to call it injured it would be more banged up hurt wise Matt do you think that's something we should be watching I'm not I mean like maybe there's a little bit of a decline and lack of explosiveness but then again like it was in the third or fourth quarter where Duncan threw really a Pitch Perfect no look lob to him and he was Above the Rim he jumped fairly high he just couldn't convert um and that was really the struggle with him tonight is he just couldn't convert like within 5 to 10 feet and I don't necessarily want to point that to a lack of I don't I don't want to necessarily point that just being like hurt or banged up because there's way many there there's way too many factors that we don't take into account when it comes to that type of stuff like how the defense is playing him um and how him how he himself is operating like it could be a combination of things I don't want it to just point and circle in on one thing and so it could be part of it I still think again like as you mentioned he's trying to get re acclimated and so sometimes you're just not that efficient it happens it's basketball like guys aren't going to be perfect for 82 games like it's it's it's just that's just the reality of the sport you're going to be banged up at certain points of the Season anyways um and so I don't want to I don't want to focus in on it just being one thing it could be I think it's a combination of things but um it certainly was an oddly inefficient night for B but that's just going to happen that's just how the NBA works sometimes oddly inefficient for bam but very efficient for Duncan Robinson that'll kick off our

very specific moment Heat fans who watched the game will remember it because this was really great stuff um and then I'm going to plug something before we dive into Duncan Robinson and what we saw off the bench so it was it was like 720 left uh in the fourth quarter Duncan Robinson's above the break he has bdon bogdanovich on him he bam out of Bio goes to set a screen it was it was an empty corner pick and roll but uh there was bam was rolling towards the middle Duncan drives left with his with his left hand takes a few dribbles Ona is kind of playing in between and then he just kind of floats it up like near the Baseline um draws the foul and one something that if you would have showed me two years ago two three years ago from Duncan Robinson I would have just said you're like a witchcraft or whatever um it was just it was a great play from Duncan there's nothing much that you can say about it at this point this has become the norm for him and the fact that we're saying this is it it it just feels mindboggling just because of how he's played throughout his career but n he he did it again man he made another spectacular play off the dribble uh and one he converted the N1 I believe he converted the N1 um I could be wrong on that but yeah it was just a great play from bu nothing much you could really say about it I'm I'm really lost forwards with that it he really was beautiful eight of 11 from the field four of seven from three three rebounds three assists but this is all what we expect from him he got to the line seven times what was our shot diet looking like I want you to get your Duncan um you get to wax poetic on Duncan Sean of course but also um and any other bench hot takes you got I'm interested to listen to them particularly hey with heith only nine minutes wow but yes the shot diet from cleaning the glass would definitely help us continue to track that yeah obviously like Matt said Duncan was great um 27 points the heater now seven-0 when Duncan scores more than 20 points they are 11-2 when he scores more than 15 points so nice barometer there uh in terms of the shot diet as you talked about um only 15% at The Rim which is interesting because the Hawks coming in were the second worst team in terms of allowing opponents to get to the rim and take shot attempts and I really thought going into the game that was going to be the key and we've seen this season that when the heat get above 25% at The Rim they generally have success now tonight it's one of those interesting things that I you know without looking at the film and just you know you're watching it live Rim attempts versus Rim pressure do you get to the rim and it's sprays out to a shot like could those have been attempts that led to Duncan threes where you broke down the defense and you sprayed it out it might not be in that Rim attempt percent but the pressure that you put created a shot somewhere else 15% of the rim 42% of the mid-range 42% from three um those percentages are not generally what you want looking back um as I said at The Rim when it's below 25% they have not won a game 0 and six so this would be now one and six wow at that percentage which is interesting right like and there's a lot of things that go into that so sometimes you know I think we get too caught up in spreadsheets too caught up in data but at the same time it's it's generally something you can point to but that being said you know if you shoot the ball well they shot 43% from behind the arc that usually leads off to good things too you know when they're above 40% they are eight and now nine and four so I mean you know it's it's a it's a balancing act right like you can you can look at these numbers all you want but tonight the way that they played generally speaking without the exception of maybe a little bit of the third quarter in second quarter they they dominated that game and I think you know good things are happening even though Jimmy's not there yeah and despite the turnovers despite some of the sloppy moves here there I feel like haime hakz um and the turnovers came from everybody but I'm just them using this as a way to segue to him for a moment I just want to say that he continues to find his way even as the rookie that is getting thrown in the Jimmy rooll and um I'm seeing him kind of learning on the Fly and he's making mistakes at times but they're sticking with them and I like that uh I I really think that that is a a unique situation to watch he and Duncan play uh they are a particularly fun tandem um together but also just their stories of the way that this season is coming together to me like that's just super fun to watch so that is what we'll continue to watch for this uh Miami Heat team along with bam adabo and Tyler her are leading them let's get into the Eric Rubenstein injury report before we close with final thoughts and now it's time for the official five on the floor injury report sponsored by our friend Eric Rubenstein the personal injury attorney born and raised in Lauderdale Florida lives in Miami went to St Thomas he's a South Florida guy and a huge Miami Heat fan but the important thing is can help you get your money that you deserve when something happens to you so reach out to our guy Eric Rubenstein again Eric Rubenstein doccom or ask about me I got you on Instagram and now the injury report injury report Jammy Butler continued to be out uh they're still labeling it a calf strain uh we think he's really resting for the most part Kyle Lowry played tonight but did get injured looked like he rolled an ankle uh came back ended up being able to play but that's something we're going to need to watch and monitor going forward Haywood heith again was back but did not play the amount of minutes that maybe folks were expecting we'll see going forward I have a feeling for Christmas day you're going to see the full compliment of Mii Heat players that will be your gift from the team Jimmy Butler included but we shall see um I do think that this is a game that they other than Kyle they uh got through it relatively unscathed so that is a good thing Tyler and Bam um contrary to what people were saying about Bam's hip I think he'll continue to ramp up and Tyler looks like he never took a day off um Sean final thoughts here yeah going into Christmas um obviously you have a team in Philadelphia that's playing very well you're going to have to be able to take down that monster Duo right now of MB Maxi and yeah you know you look at what Trey did tonight you look at what dejonte did tonight Maxi in my opinion might be better than both of them I mean he he's kind of a mix of both so what do you do with him it's almost like I'm more afraid of what can he do rather than embiid and I know embiid is you know arguably the MVP right now but I I I feel confident in bam and I feel confident in the game plan um it's going to be a tough task on Christmas I mean Philly has been playing well they've been playing a lot of bad teams um but and I know they got a win tonight I believe against the Raptors so it's going to be a good matchup um and then you know my only other closing thought because I feel like we have to talk about this heck of a halftime show for the Miami Heat tonight if anybody watched a game on league pass or you were there hopefully you enjoyed it as much as we did yes that was great stuff Matt final thoughts and uh Christmas Day thoughts I didn't even think that we should go there just for a moment but yes it would love love to hear your Christmas Day thoughts ahead of that game the Heat won a fourth quarter I don't think good call the Heat won a fourth quarter like had we finished this show and not said that that would have been sacriligious thank you very much for bringing that up they won a fourth quarter continue I think when I looked at it last night my memory's foggy so I beg your Parton but I think heading into tonight the heat were I think minus 15.2 net rating in fourth quarters this season which is the worst in the league behind Phoenix um yeah the Heat won a fourth quarter but most importantly the Heat have won now five of their last seven games um despite some inj I mean injuries have been a part of the season so far with Myriad players but recent most recently it being Jimmy Butler um and like this is just a good like another good win like I know the Hawks have been struggling this year I think they're now 12 and 16 after tonight's loss but like the fact that Miami was able to close out that game the way they did Even though Atlanta wasn't making some of those momentum shots that especially in the fourth quarter that teams have been hitting this season against Miami um and doing it without doing it without their best player it's it's like just another Testament that like this how the season has gone um it it's just I think it's a good win for Miami obviously what we've seen with Tyler obviously what we've seen with Duncan obviously who Duncan by the way had I think what 24 second half points 22 in the fourth quarter I don't really think we mentioned that that's huge he was insane in the fourth quarter he could have been gamer of the night he was a huge reason why they won that fourth quarter um but I think that I think this is a good win for Miami despite the opponent but uh yeah those are my final thoughts that's what's up we are looking forward to Christmas day we'll have you covered uh from head to toe um on Christmas day with all of the uh pregame postgame in-game coverage so definitely find us uh be be safe for the holidays thank you to our sponsors thank you to Sean and Matt for joining us and the Miami Heat get another Victory Moving up on moving on up in the standings let's get to that four seed that's the goal to get to the four seed by New Year's Day that that's that's my little uh beag uh between now and then good night thank you for listening to the five on the floor on the fireing sports network after all some one needs to listen to my dad
