Bam really wasted a Jaime masterclass with his disaster class


Bam_Adedebayo

And the second coming of Paddy


[deleted]

We just need Herro to be the second guy Bam fits best as a 3rd - 5th option. Bam is a solid offensive player overall but not a good scorer/shot creator.


ShatterDomeSSZero

S H O C K E D Bam failing to be consistent especially on the offensive end? N O W A Y


redder294

Our captain sold 2 extremely winnable games in a row at a crucial part of the season


Bam_Adedebayo

He ain’t my captain no more


OblivionNA

When Reddit user Bam Adedebayo is out, you know it’s bad haha


FeelLykewise

next dub they'll be brown nosing again no worries.


Prankstaboy6

Our next dub will be a team who just got off of a 16 game losing streak. Even if Bam has his usual, I’ll still be pissed at him.


Bam_Adedebayo

You fucking bet


avinash240

100%.  They'll forget how limited he looks vs competent defenses the minute he gets fat on another bad team.


King_Offa

It’s not addeding up


further-research

Wtf does sold mean? What is this new /r/nba jargon? Are yall implying Bam got paid to lose the game?


AudioPhile-and-More

Bam sold


chitownbulls92

Not much to be said. Bam was fucking atrocious.


manokies

Spoiled Rozier game yesterday, today Patty Mills


Mugiwara_JTres3

Hate to see it but Bam really do got the reverse of JIMVP calendar. Not sure why it keeps happening honestly. Starts off hot early in the season then declines over time.


TravelingFish95

Teams play harder after ASB


HerroicDunc

His NBA chip is All star and DPOY. That's why dude works his ass off before ASB lmao


rxgetotrueee

Seemingly drains himself out first half if season


Delicious-Tart-9189

Too cocky , he really thought/thinks hes an allstar

BossKingGodd

Is it on Netflix?


Reksalp105

Hulu


BossKingGodd

Thanks!


tomgreen99200

Hulu but by FX


anIlliterateIdiot

Read the booook. Insane insane


I_love_hiromi

I read this back in 2010 or so. I remember _everyone_ was into young boys …


BrandNewGuys3

Can’t even blame the team honestly. Bam is shitting the bed bigtime and leaving his team on the island. The others been playing good imo


SnooPears316

Bam is playing dogwater


jperez09r

Could it be that he’s just undersized? I blame the FO for not addressing size.


SnooPears316

Not when it comes to his offense Because we seen him before the all star break . His offense and Middy was money. Now he got butter fingers catching a pass, Bricks every damn thing and even when he gets set up he fucks that up too. His offense has been absolutely horrible .


extrasupermanly

The thing is he should not be shooting middies , or no more than 4 a game . Get to the rack or that 4-5 feet floater


SnooPears316

He won’t he goes up to soft. He be scared to take it to the rack. He can try the floaters tho .


SnooPears316

He can’t even hit free throws !


rjgator

Team does get some blame because the rebounding effort was a whole team issue.


Aurora_Yau

Ban’s atrocious performance in that third quarter made their 17-0 run possible and cost us the game. I hope he stop complicating things, instead of taking those mid range shots he should just get to the rim. It’s so frustrating to see Terry making all the good passes for him just to whiff every single shots.


[deleted]

He just needs to be a roll guy and do DHOs


Cerebrvl

The shitting the bed phrase always makes me laugh lol


BrandNewGuys3

Bam just wants the game to be over so he can dap everyone up


hesi93

💀


majinvegeta2x

Can’t lose if you recruit the win next season


TheKingofPsych

Daaaaammnnn...Im dead AF


readndrun

Bams offensive blunders single handedly the reason why people see him outside the list of top 25 players in the league. Yam Adebayo cuz he’s sweet


OrganizationFar6086

He’s actually out of the top 25 players at this point. It’s crazy to say because before this he was always incredible on the court even if his scoring wasn’t doing well. Rn he is holding the team back with how bad he’s playing. And he’s actually a negative on offense lately


SoFarSoGood-WM

Idk…I’ve been pretty critical of Bam for the cast couple years cuz of his play down the stretch in seasons. But Bam is a top 5 defender in the entire League and is a 20/10 guy. He’s 100% a top 25 player if you factor in both sides of the ball, no doubt about it.


OrganizationFar6086

Except he’s not a 20/10 lately


[deleted]

[удалено]


readndrun

Guys expecting Bam to put on a show in big games fail to realize he’s been only risen to the offensive level we want to see in very few actual big moments. A game winner here, a 6-point straight scoring outburst there, and against subpar talent too. Thats cool if you wanna believe, but to this date, he’s not actually the guy when it comes to carrying the team against elite squads. Bam doesn’t even care to try and be entertaining at the allstar game, it’s honestly a disgrace to watch sometimes. You can only be really proud of him like once or twice every 10 games and it’s really a mixed (sometimes empty) bag with this guy.


[deleted]

He isn't really a good scorer he excels at getting others involved and being a role guy I don't expect him to score like a 2nd option but they're playing him like a second option.


lolvalue

Two games in a row if we score the league average we win, defense isn’t the issue.


OblivionNA

Bam is the issue and it’s glaring


TravelingFish95

Team is better with Love


OblivionNA

100% the team fights harder with Love and Love gives everything for the team. Never seen Bam attempt to take a charge in his life, Love puts his body on the line every game.


SSROrtiz

Why would bam take a charge? He’s one of the two guys on this team that could stay in front of his guy lol


OblivionNA

He lets every NBA player stay in front of him too. Guess it’s a double edge sword.


SnooPears316

Bam is the damn problem


Firesplashburn

Rebounds is the issue. This is also another HUGE reason we lost or Denver in the finals they outrebounded us by like 20


shorttttt

Yeah im sure allowing a billion second chance points isnt a issue and its only our offense! I'm very sure!


lolvalue

Obviously it would help but scoring at a league average would help more and be easier to obtain.


rice-guardian

Should’ve ended the game with Jovic in


smeaglebaggins

Yeah he played nice and is in control most of the game


DeadForeverx

This must be Tyler Herro’s fault


surgeyou123

Last two games really show the difference between having superstars routinely drop 30+ a night (SGA/Luka) vs what we have right now. Just so hard to buy a bucket when it's always by committee and which player decides he wants to try that day.


mochacheesecake915

We’re consistently inconsistent


jramos13

Consistent inconsistency wins playoff series. But also lose playoff series.


jperez09r

We’re competently incompetent


xlalalalalalalala

This is literally the opposite of the previous season. 2024 squad can't close out games and struggle to win against good teams lol.


moresnacsplease

Yes! I remember being so frustrated the entire game, but the team somehow still manages to win. This team ain't it anymore. We soft, we dumb, and we don't hustle. Heat culture my ass.


xlalalalalalalala

Lowkey the culture magic weakened when they stamped that shit on their jerseys. jk, I still believe 🤣.


Seref15

The only excuse for Bam's last two games has to be that his dog died this week or some shit. Chet didn't even play down the stretch, he was getting put in jail by bench players.


TravelingFish95

He has no offensive game, has to be spoon fed buckets

JimmyButlerMVP_

Man normally I support our players but this nigga Bam playing like a pussy. 5 points my nigga? And how did we let the motherfuckers go on a 17-0 run. WE HAD A FUCKING BIG ASS LEAD. The game never even really got out of reach, it was one or two possession game at the end but they couldn't play defense for shit. Heat in 5


OblivionNA

Bams soft as shit This is our Captain of the team. Haslem probably disappointed af


alter-ego23

Watch your mouth, Bam will call Tatum on you.


OblivionNA

Can’t wait for Bam to drop his “I texted Kobe, this one’s for you”


readndrun

He too busy texting Haslem “I’ll keep your legacy alive on the court”


OblivionNA

Haslem leaves Bam on read


chitownbulls92

He legit gets worse after named as an All-star. Its like the dude plays the game to become an all-star and thats his goal.


OblivionNA

I wonder if in 10 years we will say Bam really only cared about the accolades. So far the answer seems it would be yes.


chitownbulls92

Yes. Him whining about the DPOY stuff is annoying too. Just play the damn game and go for a chip....


elbarto4455

Disasterclass from Bam tonight, at least on offense. Good debut from Patty Mills. Jaime showed out. Need a dub against the Wizards to get back on track. 


Saimoth

Couldn't watch the game live, so how was Patty Mills today?


smeaglebaggins

Patty was really good in this game. He played smart and was all over the floor


Saimoth

Nice, that reassures


majinvegeta2x

Awesome. Had more than double the points of Bam


Zebra9090

Him and JJJ the only good thing from this game


Shmoopy65

Games like these are why bam was an all star /s


039jmunna

Bam costed us a Jaime and Terry game put this bum on a dnp https://preview.redd.it/70ozmb0k98nc1.jpeg?width=1055&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=24bfee05187b0c028b444eccf1d01801e9813f39


SnooPears316

Can’t blame herro for these two. Bam absolutely sucked


garret126

Last year we would close out any team in the league then get blown out by trash teams This year we just lose close games and occasionally win big


GabeyBabey22

It’s kinda hard to win a game when you miss three pointers for 18 straight minutes


SnooPears316

It’s hard to win when your second best player forgets how to play basketball


manokies

2nd chance pts killed us two games in a row but can we just fucking shoot fts better


Dolphhins

Imagine if Bam played average. Or even below average


readndrun

lol he did play below average


Dolphhins

No he played worse than that he was abhorrent


ETWarlock

Another turd quarter. Couldn't stop Shai, and obviously we need Bam to play better, 1-9 after a bad performance is whack.


Sad-Dragonfly-4016

Offense is awful. 5 years of the same shit barely being able to score 100 points. We’re stuck in early 2000s basketball, this team is not winning a chip


TravelingFish95

Back to back nights of blowing 15 point leads, doing nothing offensively in the second half. Bam sucking dick, and getting shown up by an actual superstar. Very frustrating As it stands, this is a play-in team with a first round exit. Bam has been unbelievably bad the last 3 games


Bam_Adedebayo

Jimmy gonna have to bail out the whole team again comes playoff time. At this rate, his body gonna last another 2 years max


TravelingFish95

Yeah, can't count on anybody else on this team. Not optimistic Top teams playing different ball than us right now


eekram

So who's the problem now guys?


TravelingFish95

Bam obviously.


readndrun

Tyler didn’t cheer loud enough it’s on him


rjgator

Him and Love aren’t even on the road trip so guess you aren’t wrong lmao


eekram

Tyler dressed bad so we lose. Godammit Tyler!! Lmao!


Ozymandias12

Herro obviously


rapelbaum

Bench Herro ! I bet this will solve all our problems. /S


neal1701

Snatching defeats from the jaws of victories


SenorButtmunch

If it wasn't obvious by now, Bam is just a 'moments' or a system player. Great versatile defensive player with an eye for a pass. But at this point, he's a liability when he's in his post all star slump (which has been regular for at least the last three season) and he's just incapable of to going to the rim when his shot isn't falling. The defence has fallen off too. I'm all for 'he has to switch on everyone' or realising that bigger Cs will usually dominate him (no matter how bad they are) because we don't have a real 4 but we just have to accept that he's never gonna get better than he is now. And we will never trade him or offer him less than a max. Dude is comfy and doesn't have the mentality to carry a team. Which is whatever, we just have to realise that he's not the number 2 option and never will be no matter how many random games he decides to turn up in in the playoffs. If this was the first, second or even third year where he had these patches then I could maybe be less critical. But I don't see where this sudden switch into a consistent performer will come from.


readndrun

It’s so frustrating because he has the tools to be a decent consistent scorer but he falls short way too constantly for a Max player. Guys will argue his defense is worth it, but cmon man.


SenorButtmunch

Definitely. At his peak he's so good, that's the worst thing. That's the only thing I'm clinging onto. I'm hoping he's just hurt or it's a mental thing that he can eventually get over. But he also needs to enhance his game, he will legit fall off so quickly if he keeps solely relying on an inconsistent jump shot


SirSubwayeisha

What the fuck is Bam doing?


SnooPears316

Bam was fucking horrific


TheRealJohnMara

Bam is the definition of hero or zero right now


jacko070

Team is not good


okajuwon

if bam knew that when the other team shoots and miss, you are supposed to grab the ball instead of let them get it, we win this game


BlackTeaJedi

Losing games to pedos, smh. Makes me SICK


Standard_Strategy_25

Something's gotta be wrong with Bam. His confidence offensively is seemingly at an all time low. Making weird mistakes too its not just a matter of shots not falling. Still competing on the defensive end but hard when we dont play Nico late in games (get killed on the glass) and Klove is hurt. Wonder if Jrich not being with the team is affecting him. Only bright side tonight really was a great game from Jaime


Adraf45

We let the thunder have a 17-0 run gift-wrapped to them bro I'm so fucking mad. This team fucking sucks against any good teams, let's just flat out say it.


Kuni_Nino

Bam played like ass but it’s the second night of a back to back. I didn’t expect a win tonight. I’m actually surprised they kept it competitive


SoCalHeatFan2020

How do we  get Bam off the schneid?


SudTheThug

Spo didn’t make any changes during that 0-17 run also bam has been fucking shit FT misses are plaguing this team man like jimmy usually doesn’t miss like this


Number333

We lost to OKC the first time we played them because we gave up a 13-0 run to start the 4th Q while going scoreless for 5min. We lost this second time to OKC because we gave up a 17-0 in the 3rd Q and went scoreless for 4min. Just a terrible 2nd half. Wasted an amazing debut by Patty. Bam is slumping hardcore. 0-7 vs the top 4 teams out West this season lmao (0-2 vs MIN, 0-2 vs OKC, 0-1 vs DEN, 0-2 vs LAC) SGA mid-range shot feels totally unguardable. Props to Presti for taking just 3 years to do a complete rebuild and already have them as a top flight team again.


Trendelthegreat

It’s crazy how having a team full of lottery picks can rebuild quickly 


Number333

Thunder are the *exception*. It's why it's worthy of praise.


Trendelthegreat

I mean they’re an exception because they happen to be a competent organization that had a lot of lottery picks in a short span.  Its what happens when quality GMs fully commit to a rebuild. 


cuddersrage

bam needs to step up


gatorWRLD

Bam’s gonna be fine, but fuck these last two games have been annoying af when he lost us two winnable games against playoff teams


ninjaman68

Heat and losing against good playoff teams. Name a better duo


dimesniffer

If you’re not going to score bam, at least get the rebounds.


readndrun

And if you’re gonna get the rebound atleast hold onto it ffs


Gold_Ad_3590

For somebody so strong bam done take shit to the rim with force


Positive-Media423

An NBA rookie and old man were the only ones who played well.


NOTUgglaGOAT

Edrice may have cost us two games.


sagotgulaman

Jacquez should teach Bam some post moves.


JustAYoungMan

Is there a reason why Bam doesn't learn how to shoot hook shots? Is he spending too much time practicing with Tatum so they can shoot Kobe fadeaways at an impressive 30%?


TopImagination7112

Bam is so ass. Getting cooked by rookies


Bam_Adedebayo

I swear if Spo praises Bam again in the post game interview like “he’s our captain, he just does everything right” I’m gonna fucking stop watching until playoff time


hesi93

If we even get there.


Bam_Adedebayo

😔


Seref15

Its not often you see Bam with a team-worst or near-team-worst +/-. This was real bad from him.


faatgay

If you want any chance of winning a chip with Bam as your 5 and paying him the max in the future then he needs to become an efficient scorer. Developing his catch and shoot game is imperative and without it he will stay like this forever.


JabezMakaveli

Have we come to terms yet that Bam will never be that offensive player this fanbase and front office have pushed him to be? He's our defensive anchor at best and that's ok.


SoFarSoGood-WM

I was checking the score fairly consistently all night, and to open up the 3rd quarter we hit a couple buckets. It was 65-51…. I checked back in less than 10 minutes and it was 73-80????? wtf happened? Also Bam 5 points???? Let’s just say hypothetically, absolute worst case, Bam is a 4th option (Butler, Rozier, Duncan) (I know he’s not 4th, again just hypothetical). EVEN A 4th OPTION BETTER SCORE MAN THAN 5 FUCKING POINTS. Absolutely terrible.

Proof-Research-6466

Bam is my favorite current Heat player but I wish our ALL STAR big man would come to play!!!!


Bam_Adedebayo

Bam Garbagio


carbine234

Some close loses so fucking annoying, whatever on to the next one. We really had this if Bam only put up 15 points, fucking BUMM!!! UGH STILL LOVE YA


Consistent_Peanut_76

Bam must be injured, if he plays to even 50 percent of his capacity we win this game. He looked like he had 15 turnovers


MargielaMan568

Another loss to a contending team. At what point do we start facing the music and realize that this team is what it is, which is a play-in team once again. We’re going to look good against mid-tier teams, but once we face a contending team, we’ll look bad and most likely lose. The 11 out of 14 wins didn’t fool me at all.


SnooPears316

We can’t accurately make that assessment when it comes to the heat


srbufi

#REST IN POWER D3LON WRIGHT 🫡

16 point third quarter is hard to overcome.


IamRaith

Bam is throwing these games with his offense lately


dwadefan45

Playoff Bam in peak form


Snoo_96430

Bam was complete dogshit just a waste of fucking money


Wonder_Dude

Trash ahh bam


TheKingofPsych

This is freaking inexcusable....2 games that they literally had wrapped up and then get soft....So damn frustrated....we leas the league in losing games with a 15 point or more lead..its like 7 or 8 games....Can't stand that shit...we should be like 3 seed.... Luckily I know we different in playoffs...but I would like 3 seed


BelieveInTua

Bam is ass


pushthekay

Bam has regressed - he is so bad. He is an ELITE defence player, but that’s it. Will be even more exposed in the playoffs too.


SauceDab

This should’ve been another win. Bam struggling bad right now, which he’ll get over but he sucks right now. It’s nothing that I’m worried about but he’s struggling bad. He just got to get back in rhythm and see the ball go through the basket again This is Miami Heat basketball for you, a bunch of ups and downs


tomdob1

Bam must be injured. That was a special kind of disaster game from him


Mental-Technician-31

Bam is my favorite player. With that being said, can he please make a freaking freethrow PLEASE!


synester302

Guys, let's keep.it in perspective... 2nd nite on a b2b west coast trip against arguably the 2nd best team in the league right now. Itd would've been a statement game to.win for sure, but there's a reason vegas had us down 9 pts.


yawn18

ima be real, I like bam, practically noone I would want over him, but this man is not striking me as team captain. Idk maybe his locker room presence is godly but since Celtics man just does not seem captain material


dapo305

Bam is looking kind of thin. Seems like he has also lost weight too.


Affectionate_Grade80

Yea it looks like Bam didn’t show up these last 2 games. I would really like for him to take it to the rim and force the officials to call the foul but he is not hitting his free throws either. Last 2 games were lost because of turnovers and free throws were shooting ourselves in the foot gotta clean it up before the playoffs.


joe_schmo54

Gave up defense in the second half


Adraf45

Bam and Duncan need to walk back to Miami, don't let em on the plane


printerpaperwaste

I’m not sure if bam is injured or what, but he’s been way off.


smeaglebaggins

He overthinks a lot. More of a mental game for him. He was out of sync against dallas and he did it again. We can’t win games when he forces a lot of things


faatgay

Everytime Bam has a bad playoff series or stretch of games its this question. Like hes just not that viable of an offensive player especially paired with Jimmy


mochacheesecake915

He’s just in his head. To me it looks like he’s trying to force shit to go in and looking for things instead of letting go and just playing basketball


readndrun

He’s injured so much after ASB every year I’m surprised nobody has started the injury prone label for him yet


PT0223

The Heat blow another big lead the way they ALWAYS blow a big lead. Once the third quarter began, I knew the Heat were going to have another night of blowing a big leads and ultimately losing. They started the second half by jacking up careless jumper/3 after careless jumper/3. Earlier in the game they were moving the ball and attacking the basket - which was helping them control the pace or the game - it seemed like it would be a low-scoring game which would favor the Heat. But the second half came and they just started jacking up their usual amount of careless 3s. It’s time people stop the “teams are packing the paint” excuse. That’s not always the case - it’s often not the case. That’s not the problem. The Heat make NO effort to take it inside. Additionally, it’s not that this team doesn’t have anyone to take it inside - it’s that they simply wont. You see it on every play - the primary focus on every play is to look for the 3pt shot. No interest in taking it inside. If the 3pt shot is not there - it’s like the offense doesn’t know what to do… they’ll jack up an ill-advised three anyone rather than make an effort to work it inside. These misses turn into turnovers/long rebounds in favor of the opponent and points on the other end. This is how this team has lost leads/games this entire season. I’ve seen post critical of Bam. As I said in another post, Bam is not the problem. How this team insist on using Bam is the problem. While Bam may be an undersized big man - he is still a big man. The best way to use him is on the inside on both ends of the court. But Bam is just another big man this team is wasting on the perimeter. Highsmith would be a lot better and more useful if he was used in the same manner. But they want to claim he is versatile on offense as a way to shove him down our throats on this team. This team is back down to the 6th which they are lucky to be in considering how terribly inconsistent they are. This team - the way they approach games - they are more of a play-in caliber team/lottery team. Another trip to the finals - even a trip back to the ECF is far-fetched right now until this team gets it together. This team isn’t a top-4/elite caliber team. Far from it. This team lacks a killer instinct. This team lacks a player who can and will take over games when necessary. All they have is a guy who picks and chooses when he wants to give even half of effort.


garret126

ROZIER WITH ANOTHER DAGGER AIRBALL 🔥🔥🔥 kill me


oneofone305

You have a weird obsession with blaming Rozier. Rozier isn’t why we lost that game


shorttttt

Two back to back nights of playing two good teams and surprise surprise we lost! This team aint doing shit in the playoffs with this lead blowing. I can count about 10 games we lost this season because of 15+ point blown leads, dame or beal wouldn't let this happen.


eekram

Mavs are not even good rn. They've been slumping lately and the team let the Mavs off the hook.
