the night and I'm gonna set this up here Eternal I'm coming to you here in a minute so they celebrate Dwayne Wade and him being inducted into the Hall of Fame this is customary they add an extra piece to the banner where your jerseys retired when you reached the Hall of Fame this was now done for Dwayne the play of the night was Pat Riley came out onto the court to make an announcement amongst the um interview that was happening between Jason Jackson and Dwayne Wade awesome stuff especially when they're showing the Montage going all the way back and Jax is like there from the start super cool so the fields are in are activated right and then and Pat Riley walks out with a bobblehead and says what else could we put up around here what else could we put up around here let's put up a statue and announces that they're going to put up a statue we went crazy on playback the fan base went crazy super cool announcement that is the play of the night Pat Riley it goes to you and here's a really cool little sidebar to this before the game even started during pregame on playback uh our friend Eternal who's with with he with me on the show uh he said y'all know Pat or somebody's going to come out and and announce that they're going to do the statue and I shot it down so quickly I minimized it I said that's crazy they would have had a press release they would have done a whole campaign around it we would have heard about it da d d d da hashtag Eternal was right Eternal what did you think about this statue announcement because it was really it stole the show on what was a nondescript game otherwise although we are going to dive into it but just initial thoughts on the Statue going up for Dwayne Wade first from Eternal uh and then we'll go to you G I don't think you can ask for a better way to announce it like no one had any kind of intel on if they were thinking about it if they were going to do it like the fans the media we've all been asking for way statue for the last few seasons and so I just can't think of any better uh opportunity which is why I was like man I feel like if they're going to announce it they're going to do it right at halftime you know they're going to come out and going to surprise everybody and you know I think that Not only was a testament of just wanting to do right by way but I think that's also a testament of like the Miami Heat just being very very tight lipped so it's not surprising that they like didn't tell a soul that that's what they were going to do um but when you look at when you step back and look at the the fors and you know beyond the tree it makes sense like we didn't hear anything over the last couple of Seasons went so they had to know he's going to get inducted into the Hall of Fame and so when we raise that Banner when we add that patch on that Banner we'll announce it then and I just think chef's kiss indeed Gad what pose should the statue be what what Dwayne Wade is it that this is my house on the scoreboard is it the dunk in Dallas uh from the finals wh which one is it that's tough um I think you probably go with this is my house and then if you can possibly because when I think of Dwayne Wade I think of like a couple key moments you think of like that game three in Dallas right and then you think of him throwing that ball up as well after winning that series but what I think of is that this is my house and I would love for him to have those shoes on that he had when he was playing those finals in Dallas like the the the black with the white sneaker like the white toe box just so clean for and foremost that's one of the things that just always struck me about way is those shoes are super cool saw them all throughout travel basketball growing up I think I want them to do this as my house though it's just one of the most iconic celebrations we've had for any star ever in NBA history and for that to be ours in Miami huge 8ot statue outside of the Arena which has desperately been needing some sort of like commemoration of the winning that they have for it to be dewed for it to go up it's going to be awesome man like that's going to be a special day for the Miami Heat it really is um some Renovations that would come along with this with the Statue would be super dope as well and who knows maybe we're going to start to see those uh you know get get going and come to completion eventually as well um but this was a super cool night I was completely taken back and offg guard by it uh just because I didn't expect them to announce it this way I thought it would have been a planned out campaign where they do a bunch of marketing behind it and this and that and I should have known better it should have been um as clear as day we all kind of thought eventually the statue would happen but we didn't know exactly how it would happen and when it would happen and eternal you called it and so hash Eternal was right lives on but let's dive into the game the Miami Heat won 10487 this is a Charlotte Hornets team that's just bad I mean like I don't think we're gonna overdo what the impact of this game was but the heat took care of business um particularly they shot well from three they held uh Charlotte to bad percentages across the board they out uh hustled Charlotte in the first half considerably the second half was a lot closer um and they actually even turned they so they lost the rebounding battle 17 offensive rebounds for uh Charlotte and they lost a turnover battle but I think a lot of that that was them just getting a little sloppy in the second half so this was a game that ultimately they they got the victory uh Eternal I'll come back to you on this one as we look at this game what was the biggest thing that jumped out at you I kind of want to save the hakz stuff uh for the injury report but just overall as we look at the minut distribution uh the way the guys played what we saw from both teams uh anything re really stick to your gut on this game or is this one of those that we're kind of every everyone's focused on football well I think if anything everybody was focused on well I don't think everybody was focused on a w statue and just a beautiful night of w but one of the surprising things of the night is that the heat had 25 plus points transition points whoa so I mean that listen it's there something that's um to be surprised about but uh it's the Charlotte Hornets man um you know they they scored 31 points in the first half and then they scored third1 in the third quarter and then just you know kind of fizzled out in the fourth but uh Miami was kind of was able to write the ship in the fourth quarter um Tyler you had Tyler herro back you had Kyle lar back tonight um even though you know he didn't play the second half because of uh haime had 15 points in the first quarter and I caught myself I call myself I didn't spoil it but H had 15 points in the first quarter I'm going to pass the ball again let's just dive into the injury report and now it's time for the official five on the floor injury report sponsored by our friend Eric Rubinstein 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 he 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 decom or ask about me I got you on Instagram and now the injury report we do not have to hold back any longer haime haak has played the first half balded his ass off that dude was just killing folks out there did not return in the second half it appears to be a groin strain there was no word as to how he was doing but that's not a good sign and it's just it's uh a bummer that the team continues to get guys back and someone else gets hurt and maybe that's just the nature of the game but it shouldn't be the nature of the game this damn often so I definitely am in a uh little bit of a if we're coming off of this game with anything negative it's just the somber idea that haime would miss any extended time with said grin strain I will tell you that Jimmy Butler's expected back tomorrow in Brooklyn so that is a good sign uh and then as well as uh Kevin Love I think you'll probably see him out again on Monday but you will have Tyler herro and Kyle Lowry back so you'll be almost whole but I wouldn't expect to see Hai hwz probably won't travel uh that is again speculation on my part now let's go to the gamer of the night and now on five on the floor it's time for the gamer of the night sponsored by Rock Esports Center the place to eat drink and play all day host your next birthday party with them located at 15305 South Dixie

surprise anybody I think there are players who played well right Tyler and Duncan played well bam aobo played really well in my opinion and understandably so he's going against what is weak competition in the Charlotte Hornets this game was more a testament of Charlotte just being flat out bad and the Miami Heat taking care of business but I either way after a what I believe to be a pivotal moment a pivotal shot for bam last game where he gets the gamewinner the follow-up performance tonight very impressive 24 points 10 rebounds I believe and seven assists on nine of 17 from the field efficient effective got the job done led the team in a game where they once again needed a leader he he just continues to get the job done so credit to Bam he's been pretty consistent in terms of his impact and and I like the fact that he's being used as a hub as well seven assists you look at I mean they had their quote unquote traditional point guard back in Kyle Lowry tonight they don't have a deao point guard but bam is the Hub of the offense he's the engine of the offense up until Jimmy Butler decides to go Mecca Godzilla mode but until then it's gonna be bam they run offense through Bam Bam makes things happen bam made things happen tonight and they took care of business simple as that love the Godzilla reference Eternal uh final thoughts on tonight's game we are not going to dissect Hornets heat on a Sunday at 6 pm. uh when the heat took care of business the focus was on the Wade statue others are distracted by NFL playoff football your final takeaways from tonight's Miami Heat Victory you know who earned uh some RIS hameh Haw is so so H getting this R kind of saves him a little bit from hitting the proverbial rookie wall so I mean he get some time off hopefully it's a week or so you know where he not saying I want the injury to be bad but just like hopefully they give him time to rest and get his legs under him because you could see the last couple of games that he was starting to tire out um as the game went on and so he came out really really really aggressive and assertive in the first quarter so um I guess my thoughts would just be like give him some rest and obviously it's good to have Jimmy back tomorrow hopefully you have Jimmy back for a prolong time again we've we've only seen um Jimmy Tyler and Bam finished six games this season so you want to see more of them together regardless of us being excited about H made Nico some other guys on the team you want to see more of them together especially um as things are getting closer to the deadline and you start getting closer to us the playoffs so that's my takeaway from tonight so hopefully they finish the game tomorrow that's a really good point in terms of getting those three guys that it's more important that those three guys get reps together than basically any of these other guys we're excited about and all the different lineup combinations and fiveman Combos and fourman Combos and who's going to close and who who should start and all this it's really about getting Tyler bam and Jimmy minutes together I think we're going to see that starting in Brooklyn
