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

What defense :lol:
Highsmith is playing better defense.

Jimmy and Duncan really good.

Everyone else horrible. Especially Bam and Gabe.

Jimmy had it rough that quarter. Jrue hounding him and then getting Lopez/Giannis on the switch. Not gonna be easy.

Watching Bam get pushed out the paint during the halftime show was ridiculous

Bam has to understand, losing with Bam shoot 20 plus none hesitate shots is accepted. Losing or even winning being hesitant and looking for Duncan to bail you out is unacceptable

No, this is not acceptable either. He actually has to play well. Is that so hard to ask, and if so why is it hard to ask of him? We literally demand it from everyone else on the team and skewer them when they don’t.

We need to keep a big body on Lopez. If that means starting another big with Bam, so be it. Cant let Lopez do this to us.

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

Considering some of the other players who get maxes, it wasn’t a bad move. People seem to think only superstars get maxes but that is hardly true. Michael Porter Jr gets paid more than Bam does for instance.

Jimmy is a bad man. Scored on Giannis and everyone.
Ask Giannis to score on another Giannis and watch the result.

For sure, shooters aren't spacing the floor right now anyways, might as well have Zeller or someone help Bam inside defend and rebound.
