I think we shouldn’t take the stuff Jimmy does late game for granted. I mean with Bam we all beg him to be aggressive, heck even with Lowry this year he’s been passive on most nights.

Jimmy though? The man was straight Kobe mentality last night. After bricking 10 shots in a row he still came right back and demanded the ball and threw up another shot :lol:

Hell even Bron doesn’t gun like that and shys away from situations where he may have to go to the free throw line late.

Jimmy ain’t perfect, but I do appreciate him taking it upon himself to be our go to guy. Hopefully Bam matures into that role soon tho lol

PJ Washington looked solid. Really strong defensive game and had 15-14. Maybe we circle back this summer

Just saw the Lowry 3 that was really a 2 also, we got away with one lol. Finally something like that goes our way

Bam's offense gets way too much attention from this board. It's like you all are Bam fans over Heat fans.

Imagine obsessing over Draymond Greens offensive output and crapping over Klay nightly lol.

All this said, Bam did look great in that loss vs Dallas.

* The defense wasn't good, but it wasn't bad, either (87pts allowed in 4 qtrs is actually amazing).
* The real issue was offense. Gotta have more PnR / SnR to work the ball inside.
* Either way, nice to win a game where we don't shoot well from 3.
* Lowry 6-11 from 3, good job by Spo to move him away from primary playmaker and onto SG.
* Martin is really missed in the 2nd unit. All our best defenders are in the SL.


We’ll I would say that’s great defense :lol:

Hope you get to feeling better brother

Thanks, man, I appreciate it!

I like the end result, but I think another team would've taken advantage of it. Oh well, I'll take it.

Hopefully, everyone's back healthy when the break is over. Should have Dipo back, as well!

How is that not far from the truth lol?

Green averages 9 points for his career, his peak average was 14. Klay averages 19 for his career. Bam will be at 19-21 at the end of the season so we’re technically getting greens defensive output with Klays offensive output although Bam is a better passer. This stuff is easy to look up lol

Look beyond the stats. Greens a third maybe fourth option now. If the Heat had Steph and Klay Ban would not have the attempts he has now. But i hear ya, Bam is getting better.

My thinking is, it's tough to win in this league without superstars. I think the only team that ever did it was the 04 Pistons.

So yeah, having Bam emerge as a superstar (which just requires him to be aggressive on offense) increases our chances of winning a title.

There's more to it, but that's the basic gist of it.

Yeah we get it but it's a stretch at this point.

Whether he does or not (I think he will) Jimmy is top 10.
