Game 1 - 33%
Game 2 - 35%
Game 3 - 22%
Game 4 - 33%
Game 5 - 30%

This team has been winning with its defense and getting those 50/50 balls, the 3s haven't been there all series, this is why the effort level seen in game 5 is such a big deal.


It would help if someone became a willing 3 point shooter

Yeah no way his contract hurts him, he is worth every penny. The only thing I could think about if someone wants to nit pick would be extending him a year early which might have prevented us from making a move but thats more a front office issue.

Bam isn’t going to shoot 3s until Spo works it into the offensive system but I understand there are agendas at play and a lack of understanding on the game of basketball and how teams operate

EVERYONE except Strus and Duncan were just moving the ball along with no interest in getting up clean looks most of the game. Kills spacing and offensive movement

For sure. Thats why im hoping for an aggressive Jimmy tomorrow, the offense looks much better when he is in attack mode since nobody else can create for themselves. That should suck the defense in and hopefully guys knock down open shots.

One day saying he's the best the next or talking $)(% to a top defender trying to guard him then another night I'm just making the right plays while his team can't score. He coasted on offense, plain and simple.

If Bam shot 3’s the team’s awful 3 point % would be even worse

Jimmy however is capable and he should be more assertive

Completely surprised & baffled by Butler's response. He's been outscoring teams & players these PO's. But yep i guess we'll see tomorrow where he's going w/ a bizarre comment like that.
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

What’s your end goal for Bam, like when Bam reaches him prime/peak what needs to happen for you to be happy and become a fan instead of **** on him any chance you get? I’m just curious, you’ve been awfully quiet lately like that girl that hates bam

Right now you're probably right since he doesn't have the confidence in that shot. I'm not sure why calling it out triggers certain people, its like if you say anything that isn't annointing Bam its a problem. Some people point to Al Horford as a comp as far as career trajectory with the 3 ball, overall skillsets I think are comparable but Horford didn't come into a league where the big man shooting 3 was necessarily en vogue. Bam on the other hand had the skillset from day 1, he's just very clearly not comfortable with that shot in games. I thought we would be at a point starting this season where he'd be attempting 1-2 a game but maybe next year.

No one’s triggered, it’s just not part of the offensive scheme. Maybe next year it will, doesn’t have anything to do with being comfortable or not

Somewhere Jimmy is activating Himmy Psychopath Buckets.

Strap that ankle up & take us there
