no surprise here, we have always been undersized, and now Boston is playing two bigs at the same time.

Stifling Yurts developent by benching him will bite us in our royal a ss. He could be really helping at least with the rebounding in this series, i mean he can not be worse than Dedmond. Dont judge him by how he looked at the end of the season, he regressed a mile after Spo gave him the pine.

If we’re relying on a 3rd string center to fix things and win us a championship we’re in trouble anyways.

Literally just come out locked in and play to our season averages in game 4 and we win the game. Just an embarrassing effort from the entire group outside of Dipo

Is Bam afraid of Robert Williams?

It’s easy, they don’t believe Miami has another game 1 or 3 performance in them. 2nd Boston with their full roster specifically Williams at center has dominate he expected to continue to play moving forward. Lastly Jimmy, PJ, Lowry, Herro are looking banged up.

I think this may be the end of the rope for us. If Boston blows out of the water on Wednesday we just don’t have the horse to make this a series. We may be looking at Boston in 6 like most analyst predicted, and all their sht talking would have been proven right. Jimmy doesn’t look right, he is hurt, and without him at 100% we’re not doing anything.

We should just say **** it and start Morris next game at center. As long as Robert Williams is playing, Bam is just going to be a non factor offensively. I still have hope in this team, but we’re simply not going to win if Bam, Lowry, and Herro aren’t contributing

Start Jimmy, Dipo, PJ, Morris, Bam. Or Lowry, Jimmy, PJ, Morris, Bam go big on the wings always have grit and defense on switches throw something different at them.

Agreed. Can’t go into the next game with the same lineups even if Herro is back. No more Funcan Robinson either. As long as time lord is playing Celtics are a fundamentally much better team than Miami. Spo needs to be saved from himself sometimes and this is one of those times

Bams touches in game 3: 82

Bams touched in game 4: 46

We have to get him the touches as a team and then he has to take it upon himself to score. This can not keep getting lost, it could literally be the difference in a championship or not. This is on Bam, the coaches, and the players. It’s easy to forget about your big man when it’s a 3 point heavy league.

They’re not even “that” big. Williams is 6’8, Horford is 6’9.

We’re not going against some absolute giants. We just have to stay locked in at all times

Just another entry to the history books for Miami Heat basketball!

The law of averages will play out at home.

Lowry/Bam/Jimmy will combine for 70

Dipo/Herro will combine for 35

“The others” will give us 15-20

We will win.

Whats the point of his "touches", if all he is going to do is stay at the top of the key, pivot and pass?

Dude is not looking to score 9 times out of 10. :roll:

At the end of the game, I want my team to have at least one more point than the other team.
