Dude put on a Superman cape for basically an entire month straight to get us to the middle of the ECF and now I think his legs are simply giving out. Every shot is short and the confidence is noticeably gone. I think the talk about him checking out mentally is so unfair. Obviously you’re not going to be out there talking **** if your body doesn’t feel right enough for you to back it up. I’m not happy that he can’t be Himmy right now either. But all I’m saying is, we should lay off of him. He’s not there physically and there has been enough talk about him being affected by something emotionally for me to leave him be considering we are nowhere near the finals without him. No matter how much y’all lower standards in order to lie and say Bam has been even near as impactful.
Also on Tyler, I’m almost positive whatever reason he’s being held out is not him and fully on the team/doctors. Say what you want about Tyler, but he’s not missing any opportunity to get some shots up unless there’s a reason. Might be his last season in a Heat jersey too, and I think he knows that. So doubt he wants this to be his exit.
You don’t have sympathy for Jimmy just to put down bam, that’s not fair.
Come on now. Why is he somehow the only one off limits now? This is so bizarre. Idk how he became the most protected player on the team, but it’s pathetic. We can’t even ask him to be a THREAT to score 30 a night (without somebody stepping in to post defensive stats to excuse him), let alone do it. But we can ask Jimmy to score 40 a night over 3 months, or he quit and checked out. We can’t ask him to not turn the ball over once every four times he touches it, but I have to hear everybody else called trash every time they make a mistake. It’s ridic.
Me “putting down Bam” is not even that. I have nothing against him. I would trade him now for a star when his value is highest yes, but I’d just as happily keep him if the trade doesn’t make sense or he massively improves. The only thing I’m giving him is the same type of critique we give everyone else
Yes bam hasn’t been perfect, he’s missing easy middys and bunnies and he’s turning over the ball, we get that. But he has by far been our best player in this series and it’s not even close. Bam is literally imposing his will and being aggressive because he wants to win BAD. We rarely see an aggresive bam at this altitude and it actually makes me smile because of how dedicated he is to getting a ring. Adding onto the fact that he is our best defender by far. So if he’s leading the team on offense and defense don’t you think he deserves some slack too? When have we seen bam try this hard on both ends?
