- Duncan is back! The boys sit down for a very open and honest conversation about the Heat's run to the Eastern Conference Finals and Duncan’s playing time in the playoffs.
They discuss his historic shooting game against Atlanta, the national media attention on not playing in Philly, and what made the Boston series so interesting.
They also touch on summer plans and their takeaways from Games 1 & 2 in the NBA Finals. - Sport
Davis did a great job holding the podcast down, showed he can do it on his own. But it’s good to have Duncan back
When Duncan goes crazy again this is gonna be a legendary episode
TO ALL REMEMBER HE IS HUMAN DONT BE RUDE
You got the shooting part down packed. You now need to work on your defense. You got this, Duncan!
Two things I’m gonna pretend Duncan’s gonna read lol. First, I’m a high school aau coach and I use you (and kieff) as an example to my kids about playing time constantly. How much of a pro you were throughout this run while not playing and being one of the best shooters on the earth and how great a teammate you were throughout. Second, I’ve defended you non stop this whole year (mostly because a lot of heat fans are emotional and think a month long shooting slump means you suck) but man I can’t wait till you’re ripping off 3 after 3 next year and just demolishing defenses the way you do. Not having you out there turned the heat offense into one of the worst I’ve seen in recent playoffs (Tyler being injured and underperforming influenced that as well) but I know you’re gonna prove the whole world wrong next year and the long shotters? Will be here to support you no matter what
Yes we will! Liked what you said!
I was a huge fan of the Heat's offense until it became like watching paint dry with Duncan on the bench. So much for Spo being a "genius" coach - at least in my opinion. To watch your team shoot for complete shit and not find a way to get Duncan involved was inexcusable.
@@garyweglarz you guys realize he was such a liability on defense that he was unplayable seeing as he was shooting well below his season average from 3. there is absolutely no reason to have duncan playing when he isnt shooting well as teams just constantly put him in pick and roll situations and hunt him.
@@caspianpink311 they did the same thing to strus and strus was getting scored on regularly. Duncan is taller and a better proven shooter.. Who's strus again? We were stagnant the entire ecf so to put trust in strus who missed his shots consistently most of the playoffs you ride or die with your best players and sir DR is one of our best and one the leagues bes shooters...
@@caspianpink311 you stop the hunting by doubling the ball and we were doing that on a consistent basis. They do the same thing for steph curry he's not gonna body anyone so they double the ball when curry gets switched on ball
Key take aways :
1. It was a shock to Duncan that he wasn’t in the rotation during the playoffs and wants to make sure it doesn’t happen again. He’s not blaming anyone because he knows he’s responsible for whatever happened.
2.Duncan didn’t want to be disruptive and disrespectful towards his teammates but at the same time he didn’t want people in the organization to see that’s he’s satisfied about what’s happening, but in the end Duncan the nice dude prevailed.
3.Davis is a true friend ( pod would’ve exploded if Davis did a pod episode and just said a bunch of shit)
Really enjoyed this one, hearing more about Duncan’s thoughts on the playoffs and his lack of minutes can’t wait for more content
I love the new intro! You guys are stepping it up a little 🤣
Duncan'is one of my favorite heat players ever...I hope that if he does stay or get traded that he finds success he's one of the most fun players to watch even when he isn't shooting, his style embodies his entire career every single chance he gets is from hard work never takes possessions off and goes through every adversity just to get even the smallest of chances to prove his worth, keep your head up bro
But you don’t shoot the ball. You run around the screen wide open and hesitate. That’s why Strus took your spot. He shoots when open
Great to see the pod back and you back on it Dunc. I might fly out to vegas for summer league and see if i can run into you guys. The Wynn is one of the best poker rooms in Vegas so I'll be there anyway if im in town. Been here since day one. Can't wait to see what you have planned for the summer. GL with the nose
This seemed like a whole therapy session hahaha but Duncan I can't wait until you come back them boys in trouble!!! You and bunch of the other boys should've been out there contributing to the wins every night we should've skunked everyone of those teams as we rightfully had the skills to do but we're gonna be back and like you said they won't have the option to question playing you or not
hes gonna look good in Utah
An interesting and so honest conversation. Thank you guys.
Ah, an empty comment section with no hate comments about the 90 mil Duncan’s getting over the next few years. It’s kind of beautiful
is it really hate if it's true? dunc is a great shooter but needs to work on his def
@@biggestbullsfan8569 I agree. I’m not referring to the legit criticisms about his defence and lack of all-around game, I’m talking about the vitriol I’ve seen everywhere. I’m not a Heat fan so I can’t relate to the pain they must feel, but it’s always better to be civil about it especially since Duncan seems like such a cool dude
Suggestion alert: A boss, bring on some friends of the program during the finals & talk about each game. Breakdown some of the cat & mouse games each team is playing.
I live in NH too...I consider myself your biggest fan because I was born in Maine and grew up in NH, yet I'm a giant Heat fan. You're my favorite player. You're gonna do great next season!!! Keep breaking records! Hope they keep you next season and beyond... Lmk if you're in the North Conway area haha I'm always shooting hoops
Huge W to help me get through work
603 All day man
love that theres a NH boy out there in the league
Love. Duncan
Well said, Duncan! I hope next year you can find your way. Maybe a team that needs a shooter can give you a bigger role. Living the dream either way. Love the podcast!
I give props to Duncan for handling the situation the way he did and really admire his mentality when it comes to supporting his teammates and not letting his ego get in the way. However, I feel like Duncan did get opportunities to prove himself and needed to hit the shots he usually makes. I know he didn’t get a ton of minutes but the shots were there and he needed to hit them so that he can get his minutes back. We all know his defence was always the problem but the shots were just not going in and they needed to. That lowry and Duncan connection was something we really missed and I hope we get to see it again.
Hope Duncan can have a bigger role next playoffs you are such a hard working person !
Sounds like Duncan has a good way of comprehending his situation. Much respect 💪🏽
I like the honest energy 🙏✊
always enjoying hearing Duncan’s insight, especially during this part of his career and this scenario specifically. if every player could be as professional and competitive it would generally help any team rather than having a huge ego and making being on the bench just about you. If every young player could have this mentality we would see a lot more players have longevity in any team/ league.
You are an inspiration keep on working hard. Just stay ready!
I got Duncans rookie card at the start of the season and while I like him as a person, it was extremely tough to watch Duncan play when his shots weren’t falling (which was a lot). Duncan has talent but we can’t deny he looks like a boy amongst men on the defensive end. This was his most memorable pose after getting called on fouls 🤷🏼♂️
It’s great how Duncan opened up! I thought he was gonna avoid talking about it .
...It'd be more awkward than if he didn't. Everyone knows Spo kept him out of the rotation. Refusing to talk about the situation adds a bad connotation and leaves things up for speculation.
I think the best way to describe the end-of-bench guys' enthusiasm (or buy-in) is ceiling rising. Not going to put you over a hump that you couldn't already push through but it may ease/help on-court players to be their best via Callouts, def rotations, cheering/celebrating/gen. excitement
Great to have Duncan back.
I felt like he should of been playing especially with how bad the heat were shooting.
It was defense the reason watch Pat Riley’s exit Interview
@@luissolares7007 But defense wasnt their problem, offense was.
Well he would’ve single handedly turned the defense into an issue without making up enough of it on the offensive end. If I’m the Heat coaching staff I ain’t playing a dude who hasn’t achieved shit as a player but trying to be a podcaster, either. Should focus on his real job
@@jonathankim4892 you a real hater, just hate on someone else cause honestly he’s doing more than you probably ever could 💯
Dont listen to the haters Duncan, we still want you here in Miami, you already proved you’re one of the greatest shooters ever just go prove them wrong again and continue to get better🔥.
That was a very challenging playoff series for DR. Let’s see how you come back from this adversity which we all know you will. Things happen for a reason. I wish all the best!!!
Preciate you dunc! A pro’s pro!
This is the side of pro sports we do not get to hear. How do you handle it when things do not go your way. You were riding high last year and now maybe not so much. Incredible composure for Duncan. Rooting for him
THANK YOU DUNCAN. From a diehard Heat Fan. Thank you so much. I know that couldn’t have been easy. You stayed professional in the most difficult time. You continued to stay bought in to the mission. Heat fans should appreciate it because we had a player that was supposed to be our leader that lost his spot a few years ago and did the total opposite of what you did. He lost a starting spot and totally crashed out instead of staying ready to compete for his spot back. Can anyone guess the player I’m talking about?
I can't guess. Who is it?
@@hilarytinomiti Dion Waiters. He came to camp expecting to be given the starting job. Got on the team plane high as hell on edibles. Got suspended and eventually traded. Most ppl forgot about that situation
the bromance between them mad cute 😂 it legit feels like brothers
Spos a great coach and I’m not gonna act like I know more than him, but there was a quote when he said he looked at the shooting percentages after the gsme and said yeah I probably should’ve played Duncan. Like yeah obviously, did you really have to look at the stats to tell that? Like no one was making shots the whole first half, I think anyone would’ve thought to put Duncan in before seeing the stats. Idk how he missed that
ngl listening to this ep made me realize I missed these two together
BOSTON OWNS YOU
Spo said that there was communication with the players around lineup adjustments when they decided to shift things. Seems like either that didn't happen with Duncan or it wasn't conveyed at the magnitude of what ended up happening.
A superb insight 👏🏼 Anyone with half a brain knows Duncan should have played significantly more than he did. Looking forward to the bounce back next season!
@Aaron Oladipo was one of our best players in the playoffs... Namely his defense. Herro was out and he was the only guy who could somewhat create his own shot. He had less than a dozen games to play before the playoffs started.
@Aaron they should have played Duncan : the streaky defensive liability???? He’s got some annoying fans I’ll give him that
One last thing.
When Boston put two bigs on the floor and Spo went with Tucker as the big was one of many Red Flags 🚩 that unless we shot lights out and by some miracle shot or moment we would not win.
Stay focused and work on defense and ball handling. Creating your own Shot 🙏🏽💪🏽
He's a 28 year old specialist. Idk what kind of development you expect out of a guy with slow feet and middling frame.
You should contact Matisse and swap tips
This was amazing I’m glad we got to hear Duncan reflect on the adversity he dealt with this playoff run and I can’t wait to see the improvements he makes from this off season as he is still one of the great shooters in this league. I just wish they would’ve mentioned the Max Strus overturned 3 in game 7. I would’ve loved to hear Duncan’s thoughts on wether of not he was out of bounds. (In my opinion it wasn’t)
agreed, and how rare it is to take the points off there in review vs. just ruling it a 2 or a 3. and also why he thought the Heat offense had no punch (or even aggressiveness) in games 4 and 5.
Duncan great series man. You didn’t play much but I’m sure when you did play you were locked in, was rooting for y’all although I am a Nets fan and would have loved to see KD and Kyrie cook yall lol, but woulda rooted for y’all if you beat them tho
Duncan will be starting next season.....
For the Sioux Falls SkyForce! 🧱
Utah?
I hope that Robinson can get over his mental block on playing good defense. He sync's up his defense in a way that does nothing to alter the rhythm of the man he is defending. His is mimicking good defense without committing to do what ever it takes to making good defensive plays. Offense is a dance and defense is a battle.
How do we not have a golfing video? Get on it. It could network into other opportunities.
Duncan should go to Milwaukee and get revenge against the Heat
Duncan was a defensive target and easy to make it difficult to get clean looks due to the way he was used. Who’s on the floor with him, how they’re playing and game plan usually dictates Duncan’s success.
Stop swiping at the ball, and instead think of defending the ball on it’s way to the rim or just making a shot difficult.
first. DR gotta work on his defense if he wants more playing time
Will Duncan go to DBC Fit in Miami to train? Like Donovan Mitchell and .....
I cant believe Miami isn’t in the finals. Boston doesn’t deserve it . Heat need to stay healthy
45:48 the reason Duncan was thinking of Jason Mraz is because Jason and Colbie made a popular song together
In my eyes, Duncan’s not amazing level of defence does not outweigh his value as a shooter, which is something they lacked massively, he has the same sorta gravitational effect as someone like a Klay Thompson, how many more opportunities would be there if Jimmy iso at the elbow with an off ball screen with Duncan and Bam, Jimmy can pass to the right option or have more space to get his own shot off
Facts facts facts!!! I say this exact thing all the time. Duncan’s gravity is just so impactful and game planning is so easy without him. It was hard watching how bad the half court offense got without him
i just don’t see how strus is that much more of a defensive player when robinson is taller and mobile and they can both shoot the ball well
Jimmy butler. Go back and watch interviews with Jimmy they bring up Duncan and he shuts down that conversation and brings up struss this was towards the playoffs kinda feels like Jimmy screwed him on this one. Jimmy and tucker both said in an interview that spo allows input and i think spo trusted Jimmy's "if we just focus on defense". I truly believe spo wanted him out there based off his interviews. I was watching this weirdness happen in interviews then to see it actually happen in the playoffs. This was just my feeling based on the interviews as I was watching them at the beginning of the playoffs
The issue is that for most of this season Duncan struggled to make 3s at the clip he’s known to. I know him being on the floor changes the way the other team defends the heat but he still has to knock his looks down which he wasn’t doing outside of that great hawks game
@@gators9570 you ride and die with core players man. We did the ride or die with struss instead of Duncan man and we died.... What if he catches fire and dominates? And every person they played instead of him was missing most they shots and they would hit a big one to keep us in it. I could understand if these cats came in and dominated that's a different story
Duncan Robinson to Orlando would be sick
i almost turned it off in the beginning when they started at most efficient game of all playoffs
I assume he’s just being humble about the efficiency stat and he actually knows how he was more efficient.
It’s more efficient than 100% because 3s are worth more than 2s. As in if there was a such thing as a point scoring factory and they were looking to buy a point scoring robot and there were 2 available, one that gets 2 points every time you pull its lever and another that gets 3 points every time only that 1 out of 10 times you pull the lever you don’t get any points then the 3pt robot that works 9 out of 10 times is still more efficient than a 2pt robot that works every time.
So if he went 9 for 10 from 3 then he got 27 points in 10 shots whereas the guy going 13 for 13 only got 26 points and it took him 3 more shots. Sorry I know it’s common sense but some people might really not know how you can be more efficient than 100%
The decision is easy when the person is stubborn to change how they want to do things. They do what they want.
I used to give Spo credit at least for inbound plays, but now the best he could come with is a WR jump pass to Jimmy. Now besides handling a team and the media I don’t know what he does well.
If the focus is Defense then leads shouldn’t be blown and getting blown out during times of not scoring shouldn’t happen as easy. Might beat the best, but will lose to the worst. That’s been his M.O. even back before and during the “Big 3”.
I really hope we trade him so he can get his stats somewhere else
Can we say it's time for a change in the Heat's coaching staff?
No stupid . Spo is a top 3 coach in the league
You’ve gotta get your cardio up and do nothing but weight training, defense exercises and shoot 3s. Every day or you’ll get traded with a first or two for Myles turner or jerami grant
Herro and Duncan and a first for Donovan Mitchell
Duncan, let me say this: as a fellow 603 who lives elsewhere also (except I’m an old lady) the very 1st observation was the sweater! 😂🤣😂🤣 I’m still laughing. I was shocked & disappointed that you didn’t play in all the games and you were the starter. For whatever the reason is, it was a disappointment. Davis did a wonderful job, so glad your back too. I guess you got your kick in the ass, I have no doubt all will be well on the court next season.
Eventhough Max strus probably isn't as good of a shooter as Duncan. He's more versatile as he can attack a closeout and is a better defender than Duncan. It's hard to play Duncan when u play Herro 30+ mins a night as that probably hurts your team defense a lot
Im getting a lot of coaching shade lmao
Duncan basically saying he’s going to be in the lab working on that defense.
Utah is a nice place
Duncan to the trailblazers?
Miami didn’t have enough offense regardless to be having any type of defensive liability’s with Duncan out there , your 6”7 you have the tools to a good defender just get your weight up become a better defender they won’t have any choice but To play you
" just get your weight up become a better defender"
Spoken like a true casual.
What runs you pulling up to this summer?
get kenny beacham on the pod
get Kyle Guy on the podcast
Why? He was cut ages ago.
@@zigguratjones6458 seems like a cool inspiring guy. NCAA tournament MOP 2019
Big fan of Duncan but by the standards he put up for himself the previous two seasons that earned him that big contract, he was very inconsistent. Take into account that defensively he is a tier below Max Strus you understand why his playing time was limited. If your shot is not falling consistently & defensively you constantly get into foul trouble quickly you had to go with Strus. He may not be as great of a shooter but he was more consistent.
thing is it's hard to go for 3/6, 4/8 or something like that when you're practically running sprints every single possession and has someone on his hip 24/7, Duncan is still a consistent shooter just hard to go 50/50 when your only shots are when your teammates can't find a drive and has to pass it out or he has to run through 2-3 screens just to get open for half a second it's not that easy...Strus is a better one on one defender but he's definitely not a tier above Robinson a lot of times he's actually making the same mistakes as Duncan it's just that Duncan gets called for almost every contact he makes
@@noelbate505 I agree it is not easy to shoot with that kind of efficiency but Duncan made those same difficult shots two seasons in a row. He was given that contract because he can make those insanely difficult shots from beyond the perimeter. Defensively Duncan has the body and makeup to be very good but has not gotten there yet. In my book while Strus and Duncan are close defensively I give the edge to Strus. Mind you this discussion is a mute point if Duncan can get back to his shot from two seasons ago.
Work on that D and lateral agility you should be in there. Y’all were Struggling to get up good shots to many times at crustal point. I’d be hitting agility work every morning if I was him. I’m sure he is too
He's 28, Idk what kind of lateral agility you want him to work on at this point in his career lol.
They give way more weight to a 3 then a 2 so taking the 3 rather then moving in for the 2 gets more Weight
...What?
The heat should've played Duncan in those final minutes
Y’all have to name this the Long Shot Podcast instead of Duncan Robinson. Change the channel name
Plz fake heat fans no duncan hate
Got to get better on defense and add more layers to your offensive game. Try to become a version of Klay Thompson. 🔑💡
"The onus of sacrifice fell on my shoulders" --- Jesus of Nazareth
Davis throwing shots lol
Hire Tim Grover Kobe and Michael’s trainer!
Love the podcast but dude sounds like such a yes man lol
yooooo whose kobe 8s are those?? i know those aint yours duncan cuz u only wear kds.
Duncan "granite" Robinson
Davis came out with all the elephants 🐘
I hope they trade him
Erick doesn't need him, he should obviously moves on
improve your dfefense and your good
You can it bothers Duncan. He kept rubbing his head. It’s sad. This is his summer though if he wants to be great! This shows that Money doesn’t buy happiness. He’s obviously not happy.
You can tell how his play bothered us. He’ll be gone hopefully this summer
Hassan robinson
Nah its Jimmy’s fault. He emphasises in game 1 post game that he like Straus than Duncan and coach Spo adjusted to satisfy Jimmy’s ego. Both Bam and Duncan game suffers becoz of it.
First off the team had a meeting. They don't sugarcoat one's player decision. Second Pat didn't blame Bam cause he was doing his job defending unlike Herro, Duncan, and Struss. Lastly, how does it effect Duncan if Jimmy likes Struss more than him?
strus is a 2 way player duncan is not
Max Strus is a great solid 3 & D player, you're the best shooter on the team you just have Pepsi cans for ankles and no handles.
why did you get so trigger shy? why don't you even fake to get more open looks? where is the duncan of old who shot the lights out without conscience? you were one the fortunate few to get the green light dude and quite frankly i think you overthought it and hence blew it. have been a huge fan of yours, but to say this year has been very disappointing and frustrating from a fan perspective is an huge understatement. truth, you are a liability when you can't make 3s. but the heat have even accepted your defensive flaws AS LONG AS you make those shots or even just take those shots. i honestly cannot blame the heat from changing up the line. i think they may have even waited too long. still a fan of yours and i sincerely hope you can get your mojo back.
The sixers need you
no thanks, the heat are keeping him
@@fadedchipgod1112 heat dont need him doe
please get better on defense Dunc… i am pretty sure thats the reason u were pulled in the offs and although i didnt agree with it at first the difference in our defense with Duncan on and off the floor was STARK… they would constantly expose him and its been like that all year. if u get signed to a 5 year 90 milly dollar deal from the MIAMI HEAT your first job is defense, everything else is extra.. Spo Knows
Who the f-
Hope you enjoyed your time in Miami because you ain't going to be back next year
