That hasn't changed when asked about next season following the heats lost last night.

Well, let's just say he was confident about the Heat returning to the finals.

Take a listen, training in the right direction.

Way we're gonna learn from this.

We're gonna get better.

Um, we're gonna come back.

We're gonna come back.

We'll be back as we were all saying in that locker room, Um, but we just got guys that want to do it.

We got guys that already want to get back in the gym and get toe working at this thing.

So let's look ahead to next season.

Caesar's William Hill released their 2021 MBA title favorites.

Remember, this is for gambling purposes.

Not necessarily MBA experts, but they say the Lakers are favorites to repeat, followed by the Clippers, Bucks, Warriors and Nets to round out the top five.

Miami has the seventh best odds on that list.

Richard, I am interested in who you think has the tougher road back to the finals next year, the Lakers or the Heat?

Oh, I think it's the Miami Heat without a doubt, but I also look at their roster and and I believe if they add some, you know, one or two pieces and again we're talking about a team that wasn't entirely healthy.

But they dominated the Eastern Conference and Tyler hero Duncan Robinson bam out of by all of these guys, they're gonna be one of the tougher road.

But I still think that they're gonna be have a tougher road back then the Lakers.

But I'm talking about the Miami Heat really dominated the Eastern Conference, but it's still going to be a tougher road back for them.

In my opinion, I think they both have incredible.

I think the Lakers probably have the tougher road, but they also have LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

So by definition that road isn't is tough.

I think is Miami's.

But the story is with the Warriors and then that's we just get these microwaved out of nowhere.

Championship contenders back Luca Don t which is going to get even better next year.

The end is going to be absolutely loaded, the Clippers going another year of seasoning after whenever the heck happened to them in the bubble, both conferences air absolutely loaded.

Both teams are gonna have to fight, like all heck to get out of their conferences.

No, I'm super interested in what happens with the bucks next year.

Obviously, they know that Yannis and Jacopo will be on the show me kind of situation, right?

We don't know for sure that he should be going to show me the way.

Don't know for sure he won't pick up that Supermax.

But it certainly would seem that a good idea for him would be to make the bucks prove it to him one more season.

So they will be in a more desperate situation.

And I think you guys are right about the Clippers.

Just I mean, just cause it doesn't work the first year doesn't mean it's not gonna work.

LeBron and the heat.

Well, Richard, the Cavaliers did not win a title in 2015.

They want a title in 2000 and 13.

That's what you're Well, obviously they waited for me to get there, which is smart.

I don't know about all of that.
