How about we can just watch basketball?

Welcome to the Daily Ding.

I'm your host Andrew Schleck.

And with me tonight, first time guest on the ding, we have Wes Goldberg.

Wes, what's up, man? What's going's going on glad to be here thanks for having me yeah man i'm glad you could be here we have no time to waste because we have 13 games of pure mayhem tonight we start tonight in miami where the heat beat the bucks 113 to 104. No Bam, no Jimmy, and the heat still get this done. How did they do this, Wes? Yeah, I mean, they got it done with their depth. And this has been a heat team that's sort of been reeling a little bit with the losses of Jimmy and Bam. It's been several games now without both of them. And then they get Jimmy back for, you know, a quarter of the last game. And then he goes back out with the tailbone

contusion. So they've just been sort of trying to figure it out on the fly. And Eric's bolster said, like,

look, they need to be more organized. He needs to be more organized. And I think they went into a really,

you know, heavy film session on Tuesday. And then came back against the team that they always are pretty motivated to play in Milwaukee. So you get the typical contributions

from guys like Kyle Lowry, but you got really big contributions from these depth pieces. You got

Caleb Martin having 17 of his 28 points in the first half. He's basically carrying that offense

for the whole first half. And then in that second half, you're getting 16 points from Kyle Lowry in the third quarter, 16 points from Max Truce in the fourth quarter. They're running these dribble handoffs from Max Strues. They're getting Caleb Martin in these catch and go type of situations. It just felt like they were firing on all cylinders. and they got back to the basics of who they

want to be when which is you know good passing they assisted on 32 of their 40 uh made field goals

they won the rebounding battle for like the first time in what it feels like two weeks for them

uh over a big bucks team and you know they did what they had to do and they got the job done against a

you know a team with yannis yeah it was really interesting it was like all the unlikely

candidates and double figures you got double figures from struz and apala and Caleb martin

but then you have guys like tyler hero and duncan robinson and single figures it was just

it was just a weird game overall.

It's also weird seeing the Bucks lose when they have Chris Middleton, Yannis, and Drew Holiday in the

lineup, all of which played pretty well outside of Yonis. Janus really struggled, not only struggled
