Wild this was his last points of the night, figured it would’ve had him fired up the rest of the way.


Dude is getting trapped/blitz in every possession. Some other max players need to carry the load offensively.

Bam gets some grief because of his funk, but we desperately need some sort of playmaker.

The issues are that much more pronounced because Jimmy is at home right now. We might mess around and beat The Warriors, though.

Max Offense only players shouldn’t be able to adjust to their coverages and score, especially when they’re running off screens non stop? Our other max guy was essentially 1 made shot away from basically matching Herros scoring efficiency on the night while leading a league best defense and rebounding team when he was on the court. I wasn’t dogging the dude lol just figured that would’ve got him fired up to close out the game but he was non existent from that point.

$75M in dead weight with Terry and Jimmy, $110M if you want to count Duncan but he played well when he was starting. Spo should’ve never changed the lineup

The fragile mind stuff is hilarious :lol: you fickle ass fans watched him have several massive playoff games and moment over the years in elimination games and all that but I guess you block it out because it’s Bam and for whatever reason are livid that your late lottery pick Turned into the best defender in the world who usually gives you 20-10-5 a night.

If we’re being real, we should be bullying everybody for those late-game free throws. :nonono:

Watched him melt in the playoffs plenty times too


You saw him anchor 3 very elite defensive teams 2 of which went to the finals and 1 one one shot away from another finals trip. You saw him step up several times in many elimination games and big games. You watched him completely erase arguably the 2 most physically dominant players in the world (Embiid for an entire series and giannis in the 4th quarter of games 4 and 5 to help our comebacks) Watched him dominate the Celtics in Boston last finals runs games 1 and 2 to help us jump out to a huge series lead etc.

You’ve seen Jimmy **** all over himself in the playoffs too but you fickle ass fans live in the moment and only understand PPG so you have agendas to push

Wasn't sure if Ware or Bam was the most steady play to end the game, need some new leaders.

Hope Bam is okay
Long Live Winnie. Mamba siempre

Bam is one of the best defenders in the league, no doubt about it. However, his defense alone does not translate into wins because they rest of the team is not so good one defense. In fact, we can argue that the rest of the team is average with one or two players below average. Having said that, right now, the only way to compensate this, is with scoring and this where Bam needs to be better. Can he be do it?

Considering we’re consistently a top 10 defensive team because of Bam it definitely translates to wins lol. Yes he can but he needs a playmaker to consistently have a 2 man game with him, we just spam isos when we want to get him a look

Stopped watching when it hit overtime. I know Spo would make zero adjustments and I didn't want to watch an exhausted lineup struggle in overtime. Why does Spo think s lineup that hasn't worked all game is the key to close out games.
1. Herro 2. Bol Bol 3. Seko 4. Bruno
unless we trade up for Barrett or trade down for PJ Washington

You watched him melt in game five of the finals in the second half of an elimination game.

You'll never bring that up nor will you ever proactively bring up any of his many shortcomings as a player; one who is making the max btw.

He was easily our best player that series and we lost game 5 literally because Spo took him out of the game for 1 minute to start the 4th and the nuggets stole all momentum instantly, but let’s just ignore that I guess?

You want to ignore that nonsense you were talking about defensive rebounding yesterday as well? Because that was heavily debunked in the regular season thread today. You just talk out your ass tbh
