Jrue 100% hooked the defender there. Missed so not a huge deal, but still annoying.

Bam needs to stop hesitating. Just shoot when you are wide open

Bosh averaged like 12 PPG in the 13 playoffs why are we acting like he was some unstoppable force?


0 points in game 7 of the finals and was getting bodied defensively lol

Imagine how much better our offense would be if Bam shot 3s. Inexcusable he doesn’t. Unless Bam is straight up refusing to shoot 3s I can’t figure out why Spo doesn’t feature that

The on good thing from Bam so far is his 2 man game with Duncan. Duncan doesn’t go off without those Bam handoffs

Bosh is way better overall. Replace Bam with Bosh and I'd favour Heat in this series with Giannis limited. His ability to hit jump shots anyway in the floor would open a lot for this Heat offense

Saying Bosh is way better is just nostalgia. There’s no evidence to support that. But I guess we’re pretending Bam isn’t a DPOY level player who is also solid offensively. Bosh was a better scorer and shooter but was hardly on a different tier. He made one all-nba team in his career.

Bam is DPOY in his mind and in the mind of some folks on his jock. He is a very good defender, but disappears against quality big men. Funny enough, he does not even have the highest defensive rating on the Heat.

He’s drilling them all pregame but then we don’t scheme it in the game, we need to be getting at least 2-3 attempts a night just to see it

How many attempts do you think Bam gets playing behind Wade and Lebron? Hes getting 5-7 shot attempts at best. Bam gets 15-20 per game being the second option and hes been absolute ass.

His footwork is terrible and with the defense ratcheting up in the playoffs, he doesn't have the tools to deal with the pressure that's being put on him

Yeah seriously Bam is winning 2 rings with those 11-14 teams as well. Maybe more if he could somehow get LeBron to stop choking 2011 lol

Respectfully, he doesn’t even want to take open 2pt jumpshots right now. I find it hard to picture Bam launching it from three, even if he could hit it

Heat Bosh changed his entire Toronto game to complement the other two. Let’s stop pretending that wasn’t the case. Bam has the entire floor, but….

Bam is getting less shots than Chalmers did? That’s just trolling.

Top 5 for DPOY every season he’s started, only person in the league so some others must think the same

Gotta figure out ways to get Bam easy buckets at the rim.

Someone throw him a clean lob
