Great great game 11 by Miami down the stretch, essentially sealed when Jayson Tatum went to the rack and was blocked by Bam.

If you're unfamiliar with Bam, Bam was actually the runner up for the most improved player award.

He lost out to Brandon, England, but he was top two in that category.

And after the game, the heart and soul of the heat on his thoughts on the guy that saved the game, Bam that, Yeah, that seals the game for us.

Uh, and I just I love how he does any and everything that you asked him to do it.

I really dio you.

Ask him to pass the ball.

Does that score?

He does that come up with a huge defensive stop block.

He does that.

He's a huge part of why we're winning.

I've been saying it all year long and I'll repeat it again.

I love the fact that he challenged that Tatum dunk.

A lot of times you see guys in those situations, they figure guys up that high, you know he's gonna flush it.

It's over with.

Let me just lived to get the ball and live to see another day in this situation.

He realized where they were at the magnitude of the playoffs.

He went up and rejected him, put it right back and then got the rebound.

I mean, that's, you know, that's just that goes to show you the hustle that he's put in the work that he's put in to become the player that he is.

1 17 1 14.

The final game to Thursday 7 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.

We'll get back to this throughout our four hours.

Bottom line when I got four hours with you.

Unfortunately, settle.

Settle in.

Um, can the heat win the whole thing?

You know, I don't want to say no.

Um, it's gonna be tough if if it's the Lakers, it's gonna be tough.

I mean, because of the you know you got Jimmy Butler.

There's bam This there.

There's not a whole lot of other stuff that you would be afraid of if you're the Lakers and a D and what we have in l.

A.

But they certainly could.

I mean, Jimmy Butler brings a certain type of attitude, and the rest of the team follows that attitude to the point that their hair is starting to look like he is.

I mean, you know, it's like it is like y'all gonna follow my personality in acting sound and do as I want you to do because I'm the leader of this team and we're gonna play a certain style in a certain way.

And when you have ah, player that's leading the charge like that, it's very dangerous because everybody's everybody's following their following that they're following that message.

And Spoelstra's a really good coach.

He really is.

He's one of, you know, he doesn't get a lot of the credit for what he does with such a light talent roster.

But at the same time, he continues to keep, you know, chipping away at showing that it wasn't just LeBron and Wade and Bosch and Ray and Ray Allen.

I actually can coach, and he has them in the Eastern Conference final up.

10 I would say that he was handpicked by Pat Riley was Erik Spoelstra, and Jimmy Butler matches the intensity of Pat Riley.
