They just never had a chance.
Gobert is overrated, dude literally gets played off the court in the playoffs because of his defense. He’s been played off the court twice this season by the lakers lol.
Injuries aren’t a good enough excuse any more. Gobert won DPOY on 56 games. Green has played less games than Bam this season and is like 4-6 spots higher.
Clout is the biggest difference maker.
This is definitely how to make a name for yourself on this board but its not exactly a good thing. Clout? Really what in tf are you talking about? Maybe Heat fans have themselves to blame with some of the horrendous takes even ITT. "It would take you like one game of watching the heat" FoH with that weak ass excuse
“Same old, same old.”
Go debate a wall.
Bam didnt stop the Bucks in the 4th. Giannis had his highest scoring quarter. Bobby didnt back down from him.

February 2022
Embiid: 33.1 MIN| 34.3 PER | 61.5% TS | 2.0 WS/48 | Philly 6-4 record
Jokic: 32.6 MIN | 28.6 PER | 62.9% TS | 2.0 WS/48 | Denver 8-3 record
Bam: 33.2 MIN | 27.2 PER | 61.4% TS | 2.0 WS/48 | Miami 9-2 record
Bam is truly ascending to the next level
This is misleading tho, because Jokic and Embiid are posting those stats on a much bigger volume of shots. Record is also misleading because you need to count SES and the strength of the team
Bam is an amazing player but forcing him into this kind of discussion isn't gonna help the real appreciation of his value.

Re: Bam is ascending to MVP caliber
Bam is a good complimentary player but I never felt as if he was a superstar or MVP caliber. I've always felt its Jimmy's team and Jimmy was the player who the Laker's felt most "threatened" by when we matched up.

Giannis won that round, Bam wins plenty. Giannis almost always plays well below his standards against us.

There is no big 3 at the center position. There is a big 2.

Giannis & the Bucks go into another gear now than they did in previous years. Pretty sure that Jrue wasn't in the last two matchups & that changes the dynamic. Bucks are still missing George Hill, Brook & Connaughton. All should be back for the playoffs.

Oladipo & Lowry is a wash with that. Brook was 3rd/4th in the Bucks playoff run. Hes a defensive anchor & increases Milwaukee's team rebounding. Hasnt played in any of these games vs Miami. George Hill has some of the best lineup stats for them this year. And Connaughton is an underrated key cog.

Bam Adebayo is Evan Mobley’s ceiling. Pretty good but not a great player.

Re: Bam is ascending to MVP caliber
Bam is where Al Horford was circa 2012-2013 year. Big Al was 17/10 with 3 assists a game. Remember the pace of the game was slower back than (no 14 second shot clock reset either)
Big Al didn’t start developing a 3 point snot until later.

The NBA is a lot different than it was 10 years ago. If Bam had even a decent outside shot, he'd be shooting threes already. It is also foolish to assume every big will eventually learn how to shoot the three.
Bam is terrible at shooting anywhere but at the rim this season. He certainly isn't trending towards becoming an outside threat.

It shouldn't matter but Butler's shot going to hell from 3 means they're going to have to try to win the title with 2 guys who can't hit 3s AND PJ Tucker really only doing it in the corner. Going to be tough.
Where's the D?

your club got bounced in the first round last year. Giannis was out for the ECF. Brook was a monster on the block & shooting in his absence.
Laugh all you want but he boxes out better than anybody, & can put the ball in the basket. The only game he played this year was a blowout vs healthy Brooklyn.
Hill is a smart player & knows Bud's system better than anyone on the team. Hits threes & plays defense. He leads the Bucks in plus minus for good reason.
Pat was outplaying Duncan Robinson for a while. Look at the contracts, have another laugh.

If it was one on one Giannis would clown bam for whatever he wanted to get. Heat sell out to stop Giannis and make the rest beat you and he still had 28, 17,5,2,1

When has he missed a ton of games during his career? This year is the only one where he has missed a long stretch of games.

Brook is washed, back surgery for a guy that big and bulky is not good. Hill
Our team was gassed from 2 months off after a finals run. We’ll be fine.
