Wtf is Bam doing? How can anyone still defend him at this point?

Spo also lets Bam guard the paint less every year.

Whatever virus Duncan has been suffering from all season, he seems to have recovered, but, unfortunately, he seemingly has passed it over to Bam.

Spo honestly should’ve challenged that, worst case it would’ve been a foul on Love but these refs are on some sketchy stuff early.


You don't use your challenge in the first quarter, especially in the playoffs.


Only on a rare occurrence when your 2nd best most impactful players gets called for a BS foul


Bam is our 8th most impactful player tonight. And not because of foul trouble. Still has 2 PF at the half.

Pretty much never, Spo just has him out there to provide space and shoot 3s.
Huh. Seems like if he's gonna be out there they might as well play through him a little since they are a team fully of great cutters. But that's just my two cents, thanks for the reply.

Melo and amare should thrive in this offense. If Jeremy Tyler and cole Aldridge looked that good in summer league then us knick fans have a lot to be excited about. Make room for all the bandwagoners when we take off

Bam is only super disappointing if you think he’s a superstar or something. He’s a top 25ish player (mostly because of his defense) and that’s good but he’s not someone who will consistently dominate a playoff game offensively by any means. I was hopeful Bam could become a legit superstar too but just because he’s not as good as we hoped doesn’t mean he stinks. He has been fine offensively in this series before today. Admittedly he’s been **** today

Bam needs to come out aggressive this half. He’s playing like that series a few years ago. Timid and passive.

Pat Riley and Micky Arison, you both should be ashamed of yourselves.

We’re not even asking Bam to play out of his mind, just win your matchup man

Yes. He’s battling cryptorchidism.

Bam got a max contract. It would seem that Grandpa Riley thought he was a superstar. Another overpaid Heat "lifer."
