Game 28: Heat @ Magic 12/26/2024 7:00PM ET

Jimmy should wear the culture blood red in his hair for team morale.

Those have to be hair extensions, not actual hair. How is it possible to get one color all the way out before you put in the next color? Isn't it hard to get hair dye out? Another thing is, that orange looks too vivid to be dye.

I think the jimmy situation must be having an effect

I think the Jimmy effect is bugging the entire team, including the coach.

I disagree. They are just a bad regular season team. They've only finished above 5th once in the past 8 seasons in the East. Which is crazy considering how many times they gotten to ECF.

It also helps to be in the weakest division in the league and in the weaker conference.

All jokes aside, putting Bam at the corners seems like the wrong offensive play. Getting him the ball on the block seems like a bad idea too. He seems to be most comfortable being at the top of the key, handing the ball over to one of the guards and screening for them. Herro throwing him a lob seems like a high percentage play, but then that gets broken up pretty easily by opposing centers with some length, who aren't actively trying to switch away from him.

I'd love for him to start driving with purpose and dunking or getting fouled any chance he gets. What ideas do y'all have in getting him going? As someone pointed out giving him the ball and asking him to iso or get a bucket is not going to bear much fruit especially in the 4th quarter when the opposition ups their defense.

Would just asking him to be a facilitator be enough?

Could he at least stop participating in the 3 point insanity? Why was he allowed to shoot 3's in the first place?

If these teams meet in the playoffs, it's gonna be alot of fun.

Should straighten his hair and slick it back to show solidarity with riles

Extension time

Get a real PG and a PF who can score 16-18 consistently

Yeah... on this roster who is he going to facilitate for?

Herro has hit some big shots over the last couple of weeks that haven't led to wins. Good to see him hit a game winner.

I agree with the guy who said Bam is more of a Draymond than AD type player. You need those guys to win. There's maybe 2-3 teams in NBA who wouldn't be better replacing their third best player with Bam. Heat just don't have a lot of scoring around him with Butler aging and Herro still being inconsistent. He's a good player and still young enough that he's got 5-6 more seasons of being great.

Bams worst scoring season as a starter would be Draymonds career high by a few points, and that’s without being a high priority to score in this offense. Spo tells you all all the time what he wants from Bam and you ignore it to push agendas lol. He is a defender, playmaker, rebounder, screen setter before everything else, then comes scorer. Trust me, I’d love to see it based on his 25-13-5 averages on 60% shooting last season when Tyler and Jimmy were out (bad offensive players don’t do that) and he was moved up as our top scoring option but Spo has his ways.

Having a scoring PF like Collins next to him could alleviate a lot of pressure but life will have to continue with Haywood Highsmith and whatever 6’5 wing we have on the roster Spo can throw next to him.

Don’t forget the 0 playmaking PGs lol
