  • “It took 73 games for the Miami Heat to move into 1st place in the Eastern Conference, now with the seasons last 2 weeks and 9 games, they hope to stay there.”
  • “Tonight inside the AAA, it’s the top of the East against the bottom of the league’s barrel, the Milwaukee Bucks. We hope you enjoy every bouncing basket with us.”
  • “Ka-Bosh! That always a good way to start the game.”
  • “This looks like a 3rd down and 1 from the goal-line, and there’s no way you’re stop that quarterback sneak [by LeBron]… how do you like those neon blue shoes for LeBron. They’re for autism awareness.”
  • “What a box-out by Haslem. He sent Pachulia to Broward County with that box-out.”
o  Tony Fio: “He should get an assist for that…”
  • “…And a hack and a wack by Udonis will send Pachulia to the line.”
  • “James Jones… Kaboom! Well he’s like the classic ‘pinch hitter’ in baseball. He can sit all night long, put him in the line up, he’s gonna hit the line-drive, or in his case, he’s going to ‘Kaboom’ you a few plays.”
o   Tony Fio: “He’s got a microwave J – it’s always ready.”
  • “LeBron going right at Middleton… Oh my, a LeBron James avalanche! … Miami attacking the paint relentlessly in this first quarter.”
  • “Kaboom! Well, shake, rattle, and roll in a 3 [for James Jones].”
  • “Anderson holding his stomach…”
o   Tony Fio: “it might be that hotdog he ate before the game.”
  • “Look out below!!”
o   Tony Fio: “Oh, you can see that coming, Eric… you can see it coming…”
o   Eric Reid: “That basket’s still shaking. That dunk registered an 8 on the slam-dunk scale…”
  Tony Fio: “…They felt that in Ft. Lauderdale.”
  • “If Chris Anderson was a goal tender, that was a mighty fine clear.”
  • “Birdman tips it to himself… the infectious energy of the Birdman of Miami.”
  • “Chalmers… Kaboom! A rainbow 3 for Mario… And there’s a new largest lead in town.”
  • “Bosh, trying to rip the rim down, but missed the dunk.”
  • “I like the way guys hold their hands up after they knock somebody down… As if holding your hands up somehow absolves.”
  • “LeBron with two amazing dunks in the first half. Is it the shoes? No, I think it’s the player in the shoes… Let’s see that again. Yup, not much need for a seat when you’re jumping out of it for LeBron James.”
  • “Adrien, blocked by LeBron… ‘Yo, Adrien, there was LeBron!’”
  • “Toney Douglas’ gonna get the ‘Black and Blue Award’ when this is done.”
  • “LeBron got it off… Kaboom!.. Sink a 3, strike a pose.”
  • “A rim-bending slam for Chris Anderson.”
  • “We’re in the runway to the post-season.”
  • “Unlike Saturday’s game at Milwaukee, this one is worth watching again.”
Final: Miami 96, Milwaukee 77
Miami is 52-22

  • “Well you think you have problems? Try out Larry Drew’s shoes, the head coach of Milwaukee bucks. What a miserable year they are suffering through. The bucks have the worst record in the NBA.”
  • “The Big Buick Mismatch… Jeff Adrien, you take off your jacket and get ready to jump into the shark tank with LeBron James.”
  • “Well the pitbull point guard [Toney Douglas], always relentless.”
  • “Well put on your shooting goggles at home – the Heat and Bucks both start shooting 1 for 9.”
  • “LeBron with a crusher!”
  • “Bosh’s shot trickles off…Is there saran wrap over both rims?”
  • “I am still not convinced there is not a lid on that basket!”
  • “Brandon Knight on the move, and he throws it into the seats. That even misses the fan it was intended for… I got a good idea what the promotion should have been tonight: blindfolds.”
  • “Birdman is the Heat’s best offensive rebounder, and he’s banging that offensive glass here in the first half.”
  • “Good ball movement… James Jones is open. Kaboom! … Kaboom, you former Miami Hurricane …we salute your professionalism.”
  • “Sort of a blue collar lunch pail here in the 2nd quarter.”
  • “So, Coach I gotta ask: is it the Heat’s defense, Milwaukee’s pathetic offense, or a combination of the two?”
  • “Battier from downtown, Kaboom!”
  • “Adrien, can you please get off James Jones?”
  • “The Bucks throw it into the seats again… I feel like we’re in County Stadium in Milwaukee. The Bucks’ passing is like foul balls going into the seats.”
Tony: “Gotta be careful if you’re sitting courtside…”
Eric: “They better put tops on all the soft drinks.”
Tony: “You don’t wanna get a concussion.”
  • “Third foul on Jeff Adrien and it looks like Adrien wants to have a talk with James, but James is not interested in that.”
  • “You’re taking a risk sitting courtside at the game. Tony, have a seat – a reclining seat. …That is a new definition of a courtside recliner.”
  • “U-donis, U-did-it on a bullet pass from Norris Cole.”
  • “Long hit ahead, nice catch, touchdown Miami! Udonis, U-did-it again.”
  • “You know what you gotta do with the game tape? Burn it… maybe it has something to do with the team they’re playing.”
  • “Another block party for Miami under the Bucks’ basket.”
  • “Tony, how about the Bucks with 46 through 3 quarters? Pedestrian.”
  • “‘Antetokounmpo.’ Try putting that name on your lunch box.”
  • “Rashard, nice lean back lay in.”
  • “Birdman with the block… Birdman with the rebound, but not for long… Birdman repels the shot… and the Birdman, protecting the nest.”
  • “Bird is the word on the glass tonight… the love affair [for Birdman] in Miami is growing and growing, just like his beard.”
  • “If you stay up past midnight to watch this game all over again, you need a note from your doctor.”
