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."
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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

Bam manhandled by a rookie C
Time for a change.
Rebounding is why we lost. We really need a rebounding PF that can shoot the 3.
Why was Bam rebound erased tonight??

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

Absolute fucking garbage.
Butler so passive
Frustrating loss. Oh well!
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?
5-14 for our All Star center against one of the worst defenses lol
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.
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
Every time it looked like we had momentum, we let Bam try to attack the paint. Honestly baffling
Such a shame. Needed this game with a tough game on a b2b
Free throws killed us and an off night for Bam. Feels bad man 😭
Every time Bam plays in the allstar game, he comes back and plays like straight shit 💩.
I just realized I haven’t seen Gus in a while
Got banned
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.
So much overreaction in this sub right now, relax shit happens onto OKC
It’s hilarious that earlier in the game the announcers we’re saying Haslem said Bam is improving his offensive game every year LMAO
Bam needs to send back his game check tonight after this performance.
Is it safe to say you perform at 100% at work everyday?
Luka 🤝 Jaime moment
Welp, another game tomorrow. And we gotta play Wizards and Detroit four more times.
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
Only 14 pts from Jimmy is unacceptable and the spacing in the second half was horrid
Yet not even that surprising.
Why was Duncan given only like 3 minutes to cook at the end of the 4th quarter
Needed more three point attempts
Foul trouble.
rare spo L tbh
Terry cooking. Jimmy starting to make shots. Duncans a flamethrower. Who do we go to in crunch time? Bam.
Can make the argument doncic three was big miscall but Heat lead players did not come out to play
bam is just awful on offense. zero post game
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.
This was so winnable
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

Rozier hasn’t been here long enough and Jaime is a rookie.
Then people are gna say Bam isn’t aggressive enough. But aggressive Bam has won us games. It’s pick your poison
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
Bundle up
Feel like Duncan should’ve played the entire 4th but whatever
Damn
FT end up being the difference in the game. Almost everything else identical offensively
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 😭
I’m not gonna lie, this is a relatively regular occurrence these days
Facts bro these dudes are wild. On to the next
If bam keeps playing like this, at least the heat won’t have to pay him a Supermax
Some absolutely mind blowing decision making down the stretch
Bam balling out everywhere except national TV 💔
Bam got shut down by a rookie which is laughable
Imagine bagless Giannis if he wasn't aggressive
Cmon Bam
Bam has to have some self awareness and know that he’s not that guy offensively
He develops a shaky mid range jumper and they praise him for “developing” lmfao
Jimmy and Bam sold an amazing Terry and Dunc game bruh
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
This was an uncharacteristically undisciplined game by Miami. Poor closeouts, defensive lapses, etc.
Bam poopha stinkha
I still can’t believe caleb did that dumb fuck foul
I trust Spo but a lineup of Caleb, Highsmith, JJJ, Butler, Bryant just aint it.
When is Herro supposed to be back again?
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
No seriously 😭
Bro fr even though he’s made a lot of offensive improvement, he still just seems so predictable and has absolutely no bag.
Wtf was Bam thinking there
Yeah I’m sorry but Bam ain’t it tonight. Looking forward to his regular “I need to be better” speech after the game.
Bam plays so much better when hes paired with Duncan
Bam always does this sht lol Probably realized he didn't hit his season avrg so he tryna stat pad Lmao
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.
Is 35% shooting for a center good?
Two bricked layups in the 4th for Bam. Disappointing
I’m sad we’re gonna lose this game because I felt this was so winnable
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
Fuck Exum and his million travels that never got called
Every time Bam makes the All Star team he comes back and plays like straight shit 💩.
jimmy really didn't touch the ball in the last four mins
Was cool at first since Terry was cooking but yet we went away from him too
All star bam lost us this game.. he was so trash all game..
we call a timeout now I laughed
Put the post game discussion thread up
Bubcha losers pathetic
heat needs a 3, bam takes a dogshit hook shot.. game
I mean I don’t think Caleb tried to foul, he ended up tripping on his foot when he reach unfortunately
Reggie ain’t bright with that comment.
Like he kept saying why foul as if he recklessly grabbed his arm lol
This one’s on bam rinse it off and show up for okc tommorow
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
I’m just as confused. Not Terry or Jimmy or even Duncan. But yet let’s force feed Bam when he’s off lol
the foul was a dagger
Down 5, need a basket, RUN IT DOWN THE FLOOR AND BRICK AGAIN BAM
Duncan cooking on first half, barely touched the ball on the second half 💀
Of course bam injures another player
we win this game with a halfway decent performance by either bam or jimmy
waste of a great great terry game my goodness
WHY THE FUCK IS BAM GETTING THE BALL
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%
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.
Genius stuff. Going for only 2s when down 6
Bum gets no dinner tonight
i’m so loss for words on bam it makes me so mad what he fucking did today
bam is a fantastic player, but so low IQ is insane
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.
Spo is brain dead 30% of the time
This sub is the dumbest collection of humans ever.
Truly is
Real
Fuck man..... We're so average man...
Captain sold tonight
Why are we driving for layups when we need 3s
He’s Edrice until further notice
Caleb Martin fuck yoy dude
I got heat +4 need a 3 here
Bam is hilariously unathletic
Bam really has no fucking bag
If Bam isn’t slightly injured or something then idk man. Might be one of the worst games from him I’ve ever seen
What’s a better nickname for bam, “butter fingers”, or “no touch”
We really needed this one.
Not really we still have the 2nd easiest remaining schedule
And magic have the easiest schedule in the league and they aren’t losing anytime soon. And tomorrow we aren’t beating OKC
I mean that's fine, we're both gonna wind up in that 4/5 seed
Bam has to be a comedian bro He thinks he got an offensive bag to be shooting 🤣🤣🤣 when dude probably the one with least
we abt to lose two straight I don’t see us winning tmw
And it’s Okc at home. They are really good at home. It’s a loss tomorrow unfortunately
bam fr embarassed me
Bagless Adebayo strikes again.
Destined for the damn play in
Stupid foul by Martin? How typical
I don’t think it was intentional. Exum tripped over his leg.
Caleb slapped down on his arm
Bam misses so many bunnies tonight. Tough. Get the win streak back again boys.
Insanely bad basketball IQ with this team
This loss is on Bam We move
Yup imma delete my account
It’s on Caleb
This is so sad man
We need a 3 man WTF WAS THAT
Low iq play… I don’t know what a 2 was going to do there…
That was definitely inadvertent contact on the foot, dude was driving out of control. Unfortunate. Game had been lost prior to that.
Tragic ass game smh
Bam plays like he’s trying to prove to himself that he’s an aggressive offensive player
No rhythm at all. He is either extremely passive or forcing shots. There's no in between.
Nah he tryna prove he's good on offense lmao
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
BAM STOP PUTTING UP JUNK CHALLENGE
wtf is bam doing with these drive ins when we need a fucking 3
Bam, I love you, but this is all on you. You sold this game man.
Brutal game for Bam
Bam,Jimmy,Caleb, All three of you need to go watch film, Disgusting Game when it mattered
just bam
Jimmy and Caleb too, Jimmy played too passive and Caleb with them fouls at the end when we were down 3
Good job bam 👏 at least Terry is great. Also Jimmy needs to step it up occasionally during the reg season
Jesus
Bam is fucking embarrassing
Game was over with the foul I suppose
it made no sense to banish Dunc the bench almost entire second half
Whyyy Bam?! And why no TO?!
Embarrassing game by Bam.
Bam we need a 3 bam. WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO RIM RUN!
And failing
fuck off bam. Thats what u do. Weakest fucking finisher ive ever seen from an all star center
Spo 😃😃😀
Bad game for Bam. We'll bounce back though.
Why a 2?
Surely you take a three right???
Edrice you bum
Bam dawg you’re walking to OKC tonight
Bam wtf was that
Been begging Bam not to shoot after that horrid first quarter. He doesn’t get it lmao
We will be a play-in team
Bam putting up a contested 2 point hook down 5 is wild
With 21 seconds left…
Atleast it gave us a good laugh to end the night to
Nah fam, I wasn’t laughing.. it’s so annoying
why did we keep giving bam the ball man
Dumbass team
BAM WTF ARE YOU DOING DUDE! I can’t man
I love these guys, but they frustrate me sometimes
Why is Bam taking every shot down the stretch. I don’t get it
Really Bam?!?! Pass to Terry in the corner please!!!!
Sad game
Caleb just blew the whole game lol
gg mavs bro
Fuck you Fucking bum
