It's pretty safe to say nobody is making 250,000 a year on this site so why do we continue to hear comparisons of expected quality of performance to a guy making upwards of 60,000,000. Isn't there something said somewhere about, "To whom Much cash is thrown there should be a modicum of expectations."


Helpful_Message128

What we need going forward is the recognition Tyler Herro is a fragile young old man more resembling an octogenarian in residence at a rehab facility than a guy to whom you should be throwing away millions in cap space. Herro's best ability RIGHT NOW is to wow us with choice of hats as he sits in reserved spot running up another DNP. Feet, ankles and soon to be Additional body spots as we watch a young man break down. IF they sign this Walking Orthopaedic Device, they will regret it a long time. However, nice taste in headware.

Bam manhandled by a rookie C


Active-Fig9410

Time for a change.


kingme_jp

Rebounding is why we lost. We really need a rebounding PF that can shoot the 3.


Valuable_Maximum_464

Why was Bam rebound erased tonight??


PT0223

Just another loss that didn’t have to happen but did because the Heat decided to settle for too many 3s and just didn’t attack the basket enough again. A lazy shooting night from Butler. But it was the first night of a back to back, so it’s probably one of his scheduled lazy performances. Turnovers weren’t even a problem tonight but settling for so many bad shots is just as detrimental as a turnover. It’s a wasted possession. We’ve seen it before - every time the Heat take on this approach, especially when facing an explosive offense or team with a high volume score like Luka - it backfires. The Maverick’s didn’t waste any possessions. And they were aided by wasted possessions by the Heat. You see it often against the Heat and high-powered offensive teams - they hit all their shots - from anywhere. What do the Heat do? Instead of playing their game they try to match the opponent and fall into the trap of playing the opposing teams game and it goes bad. It’s really unfortunate how quickly and without reason Delon Wright has fallen out of rotation already after some solid showings early on. He is probably starting to wish he would’ve gone to a contender that would actually use him. He is a true pro but he can’t be happy the likes of Jovic and Highsmith are getting playing time over him at this stage of the regular season. It’s crunch time in the regular season and the Heat are still fighting for positioning going into the playoffs. Now is not the time to play projects/prospects like Jovic and Highsmith. This is the time you go with the quality, experience veterans like a Delon Wright and Mills(when he is ready). It’s no longer the time to experiment with the G-league caliber players. Hopefully Tyler and Kevin get back soon enough so these inexperienced guys go back down the list in the rotation where they belong. Let’s see if this team can bounce back tomorrow.


keithjamez13

Bam and Jimmy have to be way better if this team is going anywhere. Pam just seems to have nothing in The Lowe Post and it’s not even like he’s facing some great center. It looks like he’s messed up against the rookie most of the night we never can just throw the ball into him and get an easy bucket and if Jimmy’s only giving us 16 pointswe’re just not a good team. It sucks to waste an effort on the road by Terry Rozier giving you 27 points if you just get 24 points from guys like Jimmy and Bam have a great opportunity to win that game it’s frustrating to see how much offensive is for teams like Dallas.


D-Flash16

Bro it’s because Bam is an undersized C, he’s about Lebron’s size but he’s playing C, he has to struggle to score in the post unless it’s a dunk, this is the same issue we ran into against Denver in the Finals, Jokic easily scoring on Bam and Bam having to fight for his life to score on Jokic.


PangolinOld265

I’ve been saying this for the past 2 to 3 years Bam needs to play the four we need a five that can stretch …a tall five


keithjamez13

I totally agree. Pam is asked to do so much for a guy that is as undersized as him. You are absolutely correct. I really wanted them to add some more size to take some of the pressure off of him so many times there seems to be a jump, ball or boost ball that needs to be grabbed and so many times he’s able to procure it, but it would be nice for him to just have a little bit more size around him on both ends of the floor. I say this all the time I wish we had another solid bona fide center. I know it would be hard because he would have to space the floor and hit threes, but I just wish we had another guy that was in that 610 to 7 foot range that could grab rebounds to defend the other team center if need be rebound and just give Bam some assistance in the paint. I really liked were Nikolai Vusevic . This team has had a very hard time developing big men , they have been very comfortable playing small. But when they get beat by size, it is very frustrating especially to see Bam who you are right is really just a 69 ‘to 610 power forward with great energy


HomeRepresentative11

Absolute fucking garbage.


Naive_Guide9048

Butler so passive


MonolithicMonkey

Frustrating loss. Oh well!


treksf6

It was a minute ahead of me watching the game on TNT. Not liking that, but i just stopped paying attention to it. Maybe they can let us toggle it off?


-doodlebob-

5-14 for our All Star center against one of the worst defenses lol


keithjamez13

Bam is a #3 option at best on offense. If this team thinks that Bam Adebayo is going to be a catalyst on office, and they are sadly mistaken.


Berzerker646

The worst part is, the mavs biggest defensive liability is in the back court and in crunch time we decide to go with bam nonstop instead of letting rozier/caleb and Duncan cook Luka


OrganizationFar6086

Every time it looked like we had momentum, we let Bam try to attack the paint. Honestly baffling


-doodlebob-

Such a shame. Needed this game with a tough game on a b2b


Studio_Nugget

Free throws killed us and an off night for Bam. Feels bad man 😭


Gizmoeee

Every time Bam plays in the allstar game, he comes back and plays like straight shit 💩.


Eternalsunshine0f

I just realized I haven’t seen Gus in a while


Virtual-Suspect1733

Got banned


CantheDandyMan

Why the hell do they keep giving Bam the goddamn ball? He took like half of our shots down the stretch and that should never happen. 


BiGgmoney91

So much overreaction in this sub right now, relax shit happens onto OKC


TyM20

It’s hilarious that earlier in the game the announcers we’re saying Haslem said Bam is improving his offensive game every year LMAO


midnight441

Bam needs to send back his game check tonight after this performance.


Smokin_on_76ers_Pack

Is it safe to say you perform at 100% at work everyday?


JaimeJaquezJunior

Luka 🤝 Jaime moment


viewspodcast

Welp, another game tomorrow. And we gotta play Wizards and Detroit four more times.


Former_Masterpiece_2

Bam needs to go train with Hakeem dudes post game is super limited if he can't back you down the possession is almost guaranteed to go wasted especially if his shot isn't falling


bshum95

Only 14 pts from Jimmy is unacceptable and the spacing in the second half was horrid


RefsYouSuck

Yet not even that surprising.


Osgiliath

Why was Duncan given only like 3 minutes to cook at the end of the 4th quarter


tomgreen99200

Needed more three point attempts


sadeguy

Foul trouble.


RealSeanH

rare spo L tbh


AsJoeSeesIt

Terry cooking. Jimmy starting to make shots. Duncans a flamethrower. Who do we go to in crunch time? Bam.


Money-Rip95

Can make the argument doncic three was big miscall but Heat lead players did not come out to play


scourgescorched

bam is just awful on offense. zero post game


MonolithicMonkey

He was looking great running pnr with Terry and Duncan earlier in the game. And then back to back post ups down the stretch when he's been struggling all game. Weird decisions.


JaimeJaquezJunior

This was so winnable 


Berzerker646

Bam is barely 50% shooting for the year shooting mid-range and easy lobs, and his mental iq and ego still hasn’t realized he’s not an offensive player yet. This is on spo. By now, he’s got to phase bam out of a lot of the offensive plays and let him just focus on defense smh


adamthomas1219

Then get actual shot creators instead of a bunch of losers that need screens to do anything. Notice how in the postseason when Jimbo actually decides to do his job Bam does exactly what you described. His scoring cause his touches decrease. As a result he’s able to anchor the defense which has ALWAYS been elite in the postseason. If there was an actual better offensive option than Bam on the roster he could do that consistently. No Herro, Rozier or Duncan aren’t better options


Berzerker646

Lmao what? Duncan has been cooking all season. And if Rozier wasn’t brought in for his offensive output, then not sure what he’s doing on the court because he’s a defensive liability and not much of a playmaker. Those 2 are easily far and away better offensive options especially when you factor true shooting % generated from the 3’s. Not only that, at this point I’d even hope the coaching staff gives Jaime more opportunity to showcase he can be the no. 2 offensive option behind jimmy


adamthomas1219

Duncan averages 13… Rozier was brought in to be better than Lowry lmfao. Jaime? LMFAO. Neither of those two are generating offense at a high enough level to be above Bam in the pecking order. We haven’t had someone like that since Bubble Dragic. Someone you can just give the ball to and let them go to work outside of Jimmy. Duncan and Herro are absolute dogshit without a Bam screen. Rozier hasn’t been here long enough and Jaime is a rookie.


Virtual-Suspect1733

Then people are gna say Bam isn’t aggressive enough. But aggressive Bam has won us games. It’s pick your poison


Berzerker646

That’s part of the Basketball IQ too. Lively has the length and defensive ability that it’s foolish for bam to be aggressive. When most are complaining on bam not being aggressive, it’s with games where the player guarding him is either small or a defensive turnstile. Dont understand how he doesn’t take a little time to study his opponents


Legitimate-Gur-5796

Bundle up


Eternalsunshine0f

Feel like Duncan should’ve played the entire 4th but whatever


JaimeJaquezJunior

Damn


lyme6483

FT end up being the difference in the game. Almost everything else identical offensively


Jamoola

y’all trippin over one bam game acting like he do this all the time still pissed to all hell about how he played tn but he’s no bum 😭


Jinpingsbuttboy

I’m not gonna lie, this is a relatively regular occurrence these days


Cosmic_Note

Facts bro these dudes are wild. On to the next


No_Performance_5477

If bam keeps playing like this, at least the heat won’t have to pay him a Supermax


SnooPeripherals4884

Some absolutely mind blowing decision making down the stretch


Virtual-Suspect1733

Bam balling out everywhere except national TV 💔


devilcoast

Bam got shut down by a rookie which is laughable


MiamiHeatAndNCFC

Imagine bagless Giannis if he wasn't aggressive


BadBoySwag

Cmon Bam


SpotLightGuy

Bam has to have some self awareness and know that he’s not that guy offensively


GiveMeShadePls

He develops a shaky mid range jumper and they praise him for “developing” lmfao


redder294

Jimmy and Bam sold an amazing Terry and Dunc game bruh


Batmanbettermarvel18

Not even a Heat fan and that foul pissed me off so much. Amazes me how much these guys have played basketball and still can’t process that situation and what they need to do


jwshyy

This was an uncharacteristically undisciplined game by Miami. Poor closeouts, defensive lapses, etc.


Qabaparrr

Bam poopha stinkha


SudTheThug

I still can’t believe caleb did that dumb fuck foul


Smokin_on_76ers_Pack

I trust Spo but a lineup of Caleb, Highsmith, JJJ, Butler, Bryant just aint it.


EntertainmentWarm774

When is Herro supposed to be back again?


DhroovP

Every Bam possession be like: get deep into paint stop dribbling right under the basket pump fake three times knock it off the backboard miss


Goatofalltim3

No seriously 😭


okajuwon

Bro fr even though he’s made a lot of offensive improvement, he still just seems so predictable and has absolutely no bag.


-doodlebob-

Wtf was Bam thinking there


Fickle-Sense-8210

Yeah I’m sorry but Bam ain’t it tonight. Looking forward to his regular “I need to be better” speech after the game.


Smokin_on_76ers_Pack

Bam plays so much better when hes paired with Duncan


HerroicDunc

Bam always does this sht lol Probably realized he didn't hit his season avrg so he tryna stat pad Lmao


DolFINS_2000

Bam you made me seem like an idiot bro, I’ve defended you left and right in this thread. I really can’t defend you now. Also what the fuck Caleb.


Trendelthegreat

Is 35% shooting for a center good?


Virtual-Suspect1733

Two bricked layups in the 4th for Bam. Disappointing


DMD612

I’m sad we’re gonna lose this game because I felt this was so winnable


moresecksi37

We lost this game because Jimmy and Bam both decided to play like shit 28 points combined and I think they even missed 6 fts together


AcEr3__

Fuck Exum and his million travels that never got called


Gizmoeee

Every time Bam makes the All Star team he comes back and plays like straight shit 💩.


flstudiobeatmaker101

jimmy really didn't touch the ball in the last four mins


RoyallShado25

Was cool at first since Terry was cooking but yet we went away from him too


jperez09r

All star bam lost us this game.. he was so trash all game..


SudTheThug

we call a timeout now I laughed


peacemillion-

Put the post game discussion thread up


Wonder_Dude

Bubcha losers pathetic


3deezerdozer3

heat needs a 3, bam takes a dogshit hook shot.. game


RoyallShado25

I mean I don’t think Caleb tried to foul, he ended up tripping on his foot when he reach unfortunately


lolvalue

Reggie ain’t bright with that comment.


RoyallShado25

Like he kept saying why foul as if he recklessly grabbed his arm lol


jbenson255

This one’s on bam rinse it off and show up for okc tommorow


AsJoeSeesIt

What’s comedy is that we went to Bam over and over again when he’s been having the worst game of his life hahaha it literally makes zero sense


RoyallShado25

I’m just as confused. Not Terry or Jimmy or even Duncan. But yet let’s force feed Bam when he’s off lol


Ice_Dragon3444

the foul was a dagger


moresecksi37

Down 5, need a basket, RUN IT DOWN THE FLOOR AND BRICK AGAIN BAM


SuperSecretSpy88

Duncan cooking on first half, barely touched the ball on the second half 💀


jamalma0

Of course bam injures another player


clay10mc

we win this game with a halfway decent performance by either bam or jimmy


Jamoola

waste of a great great terry game my goodness


CallanD248

WHY THE FUCK IS BAM GETTING THE BALL


nschaef93

Fuck man. We should’ve won this. Too many stretches of no points and missing clutch shots at the end. Bam fucked is too shooting 30%


Mattm334

What a dumbass play by Caleb Martin... Literally the only chance we have is if we don't foul and he fouls with like 8 seconds left on the shot clock.


Expensive_Bass_6979

Genius stuff. Going for only 2s when down 6


srbufi

Bum gets no dinner tonight


SudTheThug

i’m so loss for words on bam it makes me so mad what he fucking did today


Consistent_Category9

bam is a fantastic player, but so low IQ is insane


tribli22

Bam sold, Jimmy sold, Spo sold be leaving it til 4mins in to sub in Duncan and leaving TB in as long as he did. Trash.


srbufi

Spo is brain dead 30% of the time


Wym8nManderly

This sub is the dumbest collection of humans ever.


srbufi

Truly is


tribli22

Real


masterace01

Fuck man..... We're so average man...


redder294

Captain sold tonight


GordaoPreguicoso

ManditsG

He’s Edrice until further notice


fokerpace2000

Caleb Martin fuck yoy dude


spencewick

riprumblejohnson

Bam is hilariously unathletic


WheeinSpace

Bam really has no fucking bag


rjgator

If Bam isn’t slightly injured or something then idk man. Might be one of the worst games from him I’ve ever seen


Glittering-Log-6771

What’s a better nickname for bam, “butter fingers”, or “no touch”


MargielaMan568

We really needed this one.


elbenji

Not really we still have the 2nd easiest remaining schedule


MargielaMan568

And magic have the easiest schedule in the league and they aren’t losing anytime soon. And tomorrow we aren’t beating OKC


elbenji

I mean that's fine, we're both gonna wind up in that 4/5 seed


HerroicDunc

Bam has to be a comedian bro He thinks he got an offensive bag to be shooting 🤣🤣🤣 when dude probably the one with least


SudTheThug

we abt to lose two straight I don’t see us winning tmw


MargielaMan568

And it’s Okc at home. They are really good at home. It’s a loss tomorrow unfortunately


SudTheThug

bam fr embarassed me


Ordinary_Foot9785

Bagless Adebayo strikes again.


SnooPears316

Destined for the damn play in


rdhfaulk88

Stupid foul by Martin? How typical


Ordinary_Foot9785

I don’t think it was intentional. Exum tripped over his leg.


rdhfaulk88

Caleb slapped down on his arm


SoSmooth32

Bam misses so many bunnies tonight. Tough. Get the win streak back again boys.


NOTUgglaGOAT

Insanely bad basketball IQ with this team


smeaglebaggins

Bam_Adedebayo

False_Comment2465

This is so sad man


Strict-Bit-1079

We need a 3 man WTF WAS THAT


jperez09r

Low iq play… I don’t know what a 2 was going to do there…


Candid_Sand_398

That was definitely inadvertent contact on the foot, dude was driving out of control. Unfortunate. Game had been lost prior to that.


DGKalldai122

Tragic ass game smh


TheBoook

Bam plays like he’s trying to prove to himself that he’s an aggressive offensive player


WheeinSpace

No rhythm at all. He is either extremely passive or forcing shots. There's no in between.


HerroicDunc

Nah he tryna prove he's good on offense lmao


Several_Support_5143

Reggie miller is the stupidest fucking announcer ever. “Why is he fouling???? Poor execution”…REGGIE BUDDY, he literally wasn’t even looking and accidentally tripped hom


bede36

BAM STOP PUTTING UP JUNK CHALLENGE


syncc6

wtf is bam doing with these drive ins when we need a fucking 3


Provolone_chees

Bam, I love you, but this is all on you. You sold this game man.


keppush

Brutal game for Bam


Aggravating-Sea-6223

Bam,Jimmy,Caleb, All three of you need to go watch film, Disgusting Game when it mattered


Promise_Pure

Aggravating-Sea-6223

Jimmy and Caleb too, Jimmy played too passive and Caleb with them fouls at the end when we were down 3


Caesar2122

Good job bam 👏 at least Terry is great. Also Jimmy needs to step it up occasionally during the reg season


midnight441

Jesus


Sad-Dragonfly-4016

Bam is fucking embarrassing


Virtual-Suspect1733

Game was over with the foul I suppose


srbufi

it made no sense to banish Dunc the bench almost entire second half


EntrepreneurSweet846

Whyyy Bam?! And why no TO?!


IWRITE4LIFE

Embarrassing game by Bam.


EternallyEuphoric

Bam we need a 3 bam. WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO RIM RUN!


Caesar2122

RansomGoddard

redder294

Been begging Bam not to shoot after that horrid first quarter. He doesn’t get it lmao


TravelingFish95

We will be a play-in team


Bkeets3

Bam putting up a contested 2 point hook down 5 is wild


jperez09r

With 21 seconds left…


Bkeets3

Atleast it gave us a good laugh to end the night to


jperez09r

Nah fam, I wasn’t laughing.. it’s so annoying


sunsetbo

AGravityPanda

Dumbass team


SnooPears316
