JIMMY IN A F*CKIN' ZONE!

If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

For Jimmy to have help that people are happy with do we need 3 other guys to put up over 25-30 a night?

If Jimmy is Kobe then give him Gasol and Bynum, Fisher and Odom and get out the damn way

These bottom teams during this time have nothing to lose. They come in w/ no pressure, are loose and don't give a f*ck, esp having young inexperienced players to boot. They play the spoiler role. Basketball has ebbs and flows, momentum shifts etc. Jimmy flipped a switch at will and not only won us the game but also covered the spread for bettors like myself who took Miami to win by double digits. We got the dub & people still complain.

As always, if it’s not shown in a box score majority don’t understand it though

It is not that bam's work goes un notice, It's that we all know unconsciously that he shouldn't be doing it, the fault is bam's and spo

bam For not knowing that he should not get into that position And spo for not guiding him properly

I think even Jimmy, Hero and some of the other players recognize this

Yeah this is basketball and we no longer have Wade, Bosh and LeBron to blow teams out consistently like the old days

If you're going to win you need guys doing the small things. Period. It's the front office's job to value things correctly.

I understand what you're trying to say about bam... But well I'm trying to say Is that He should Prioritize And say internally "f-it Nobody is Superman And can do everything"... Let the team loose If they want to play this way And Force his uniqueness on spo And others!

Sometimes you have to be a little selfish And not give and give and give...

bam It's not the best talent in history, But we all agree he could be pretty special... Don't we?

Maybe even 'wade level special' if he got lucky?

Bam has the tools to be very special, especially considering he’s a top of the league level defender. Once he develops a 3 ball there will be nothing he can’t do.

Hell never be Wade though, Wades top 20 ever, better than Kobe if not for injury and having his meniscus removed.

Bam is great. Not many 20-10 bigs in the league, let alone ones that defend as well as he does. He’s in the top handful of bigs in the league.

He’s not the issue. The supporting cast is the issue.

Bam is a very good player having a great career. He's definitely a valuable asset.

I think you misunderstood

Right, it's doing the little things like blocking off defenders, Bam, Butler, and Lowry did this a ton last year to get Tucker open shots in the corner, sometimes there were 2 Heat players there making sure Tucker got an open shot. You'll still see Bam, Butler and sometimes Lowry doing it this year to get open lanes for drivers.
