Hey guys, it's JJ. If you're a basketball diehard like me, then you know there's always something spicy to talk about when it comes to the NBA.

That's why I'm excited to play this week's episode of the old man and the three things for you.

Normally this shows available exclusively on Amazon Music, but I wanted to give you a preview of what it's about so you can join us every week.

In the show, Tommy and I covered the hottest topics in the league, but without the outlandish takes, we unpack top stats, trends and preview big games.

So if you don't do it now, I'll keep reminding you to follow us on the Amazon Music app where you can listen to this and all our content, add free.

Welcome to the old man and the three things with JJ Reddick and Tommy Alter available exclusively on Amazon Music.

Tommy, we've got ourselves a series here.

One one headed back to Miami. I thought just a gutsy gutsy performance from the Miami Heat.

Yeah, I think if you had told heat, you don't heat fans, they'd get up 40 to 14 run and win on the road in a game two against a team like this in a place where they haven't won since November 2016.

I think a lot of people would have been surprised yet they did it.

The word I used earlier today on first take was resiliency and to me, it started from the jump.

Max Truce coming off an offer just an historically poor shooting performance.

There's some level of resiliency and mental toughness to come out and hit four threes in the first quarter. Denver responds.

They're bench to start the second quarter, just phenomenal. They get up 15 and then Kevin Love hits a three gave Vincent hits a three Jimmy gets a couple of tough buckets.

It's a six point game at halftime and Yokech goes nuts in the third quarter and then to start the fourth they go on a big run and we'll get into some of that in a bit.

But it was just throughout the game every time Denver made a push Miami had an answer and just that's why I say it's gutsy like you're on the road your backs against the wall.

You needed to make plays and be at your best and I thought they were phenomenal last night.

I thought you said something interesting last I don't want to ask you about in the in the post game live about how the heat or not hierarchy.

And that's clearly been true. We'll get into some of the bench numbers and I think that it's clearly been true throughout the playoffs, even though Jimmy has had these games where he's gone completely insane.

It's like they've had different guys step up. What's the last team I'm trying to think about the last team that has either won a finals or gotten to a finals that's been like this because there's been good teams that have been like this.

But I usually it's like we always talk about the player with the team with the best player or the best players usually wins.

And I'm trying to just remember if there is a you know there's a recent conference where there's a team where it's like it does feel like you don't know with them when they win who's going to sort of go off the who stepping up very different teams.
