It's crunch time here on the jump.

One night after getting blown out by 47 points by the Bucks, the Heat came back and beat Milwaukee last night.

Nick, what was your biggest take away from the heats?

Rebound win?

This is a team that knows how to bounce back.

George.

They're mentally strong.

They've proven time and time again, and there's no debating when they need to find a way to win.

No matter who's on the floor, Erik Spoelstra is gonna get that team to play at a different level.

I would have to go with Bam bam!

Out of the by you.

And yes, I know I say his last name wrong, but I don't care, George.

I know what I mean, but we have to start giving him credit.

He's elevated his play making ability.

He's elevated his leadership.

What I'm seeing out of him, he's gonna put up the stats.

I think he almost nice to triple double last night.

I think he was almost two assists away from having a triple double, but with you when I'm looking at Bam and I'm watching them dive on the floor for loose balls and setting the tone, being more active for speaking the others and encouraging and holding guys accountable.

He is a special player.

He's a top five big in the league.

Yeah, no doubt about it, all right.

Speaking of the heat are Brian Wynne, horse mentioned on the hoop Collective podcast.

That's his podcast.

Subscribe, uh, to Brian's podcast, of course, that the Heat would probably need to trade Tyler Hero and Duncan Robinson and any potential Harden trade.

Brian also kind of said that the Heat basically took themselves out of the running, perhaps to cool off the market a little bit.

They have to throw in more assets, obviously, than just those two.

But what do you think about the Heat Trying to acquire hearted?

Let's start with you, Nic.

If it's May, I'm making that deal.

George.

What's the one thing that Miami needs one Mawr off in the playoffs in the finals?

It's the guy to hand the ball off to and say, Go score and make this happen at the end of the game is great.

Is Jimmy is and its greatest bam is and is going to be.

They need that one extra star if hardens the guy in the deals there.

If I'm Pat Riley, I'm making it well, it's hard to just jump the gun and pass up on the M V P Candidate, but I'm not making the deal and his wife.

When you look at the heat, they have a thing called culture, one of the best, one of the best organizations that have established culture.

They know they have identity, and it's been around for a long period of time.

I wouldn't give up to guys that I built to player development and Tyler Hero and Duncan Robinson.

Two guys that can shoot the lights out.

One thing that you need in the NBA is you need space and you need shooting and the way that their offense is constructed.

Ran through Bam.

Him being the facilitator, a lot of dribble handoffs.

Ah, lot of pick the pick actions.

They fit well in that.

I don't know how James Harden would fit in that Miami system.

Would he take away from band?

Would he take away from Jimmy?

I know one thing.

All these guys in the with the Miami Heat right now complement each other very, very nicely you guys make great points, but I'm with Nick.

Bring me the beard.

I love guys with beards.

Perk.

That's why you and I get along so well.

All right.

Next.

No New Year's Eve off for the MBA.

Let's see today seven games slate in our league pass game of the night, the last n BA unbeaten.

The Orlando Magic will host the 70 Sixers on NBA TV, but on league has our choices.

Kings Rockets, My pal Mark Jones on the call there for the Kings.

That's at seven Eastern, where John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and Eric Gordon are cleared from quarantine for the Rockets and expected to play wall and boogie.

Couldn't wait to be cleared.

Take a listen.

Well, I didn't do anything wrong.

All I did was get a haircut in my apartment, and somebody one of my teammates had tested positive the next day.

And then the next six or seven I'm in the next, like four or five tests I had all came back negative, so I was like, Oh, I was with me and three people getting a haircut like I can't get a haircut.

I'd rather cut in my apartment and be in the barbershop somewhere where random people was coming in constantly.

And then even the barber tested negative.

So I was excited.

I loved it.

I had a blast at home.

Uh huh.

Perk.

How do you expect wall in boogie to fit with Harden?

I think that if it just perfect with Harden and and Christian Woods, I'm excited to see it.

And it's gonna be a great test because the King's heir playing inspired basketball.

So I'm looking forward to watching this game tonight.

Georgia got the Kentucky connection.

It's gonna work really quickly with Harden.

All right, so let's close.

I think they're gonna fit fine.

Like you put a lot of stars together.

You're good.

So all right, as we close our last jump of 2020 I want to hear what, 2021 New Year's resolution you guys have?

Nick, let's start with you.

I want to see the Clippers do what they were supposed to do last year.

George, this is a team that could win the title.

Let's see if they could make it work.

I want to see a big man win the MVP award.

A really Big five.

I think that league needs LeBron vs KD They need a rivalry.

Let's do it, gentlemen.

Fist bump, virtual fist bump.

All right way.
