They’re just better. Even when they’re in the mud they have enough to out execute us.

And he’s extremely tall, which is even more important.

Point Bam might not be it.

It's one game. His passing has been excellent overall. But what we've seen is he just doesn't have another gear on offense. He's at best a 3rd option, and not someone who can be a primary scorer in any way.

The team needs a complete makeover. We refused to get bigger and once again it cost us. These dudes have to put in 100% effort every night because they lack so much talent and size, and they always run out of gas eventually when no matter what they do, the other team just does the easy stuff easier. When are we going to learn?

That goes back to the thing where Bam is not a shooter and can’t play PF in Spo’s system. We need to get a viable backup center and not think that someone like Dwayne Dedmon is an okay option going into the season

Exactly. We made the Finals. That's an accomplishment but if the goal is to win titles, we're not winning one where we gave Dedmon and Zeller minutes behind Bam.

25-7-7 for Jimmy, but man it doesn't feel like he got those numbers...

What are his percentages?

9-17FG, 1-3 3pt, 6-9ft

Reg season effort in a game we needed a superstar. Oh well.

I saw him try a few times. He did get 17 shots off.

Yea he had a moment here and there, overall just never imposed his will in the moments we clearly needed it. He was a bystander a lot of the time it seemed

Absolutely, even if he's hurt that's part of the calculation, he can't be relied on as the main scorer and Bam can't be the 2nd option, Miami has to find a vet scorer or just rebuild. Maybe they'll just freeze the summer moves trying to get Dame and then not make a move again. I'm just really confused about this FO, they went 7 games in the ECF last year and did nothing to improve.

Small ball is basketball's Wildcat Offense unless you have a few top 30 of all time goats playing for you.

Completely ignoring the bigger teams our small team smashed.

2 and 6. Lost 3 of the last 4 in the ECF, lost 3 of 4 of the finals. It should have been a sweep in the finals.

My mistake.

If we had finished the Celtics off in 4 and gotten a week off maybe we make this more competitive. Alas

I knew we lost when the espn analyst picked Miami to win

Tony15 · Post #1491 » by **Tony15** » Sat Jun 10, 2023 3:14 am

Dame would solve the offensive problem, but we still need to get bigger in the front court....do we even the money to go after a Brook Lopez? Talk about a perfect fit next to Bam.....

Talent disparity probably did it both times

Small ball likely got us to the finals both times as well

Could have used Dwight Howard or a real Center. Bam is a 4, always has been.

Jimmy is soft as hell. Poor baby has a booboo…if you make $35M per season, numb that **** up, tape it and go for it. Dude was jogging on the court leaving clowns wide open for 3s. I really hope this is not the last jersey he wears in his career because that means this **** would have stayed giving half azz effort for many more years.

There's no telling how any of these guys would have definitively impacted the results of our season. But I can understand why a 6'4 guy wasn't a priority.

Bucks are one of the biggest teams in the league. Smashed in 5.

Knicks were the best offensive rebounding team in the league. They got smashed too

Spo’s stupid defensive scheme wears them out and they can’t hack it. He broke them down in the bubble and did it again.

Our whole team has reverted to regular season form. I guess the clock just struck midnight.

People conveniently forget that the Heat played Robert Williams off the floor with Caleb Martin. Forced Mazulla to abandon the two big lineup and go small
