Can you please add some context to show how these losses directly correlated to Bam running the entire offense? Can you please show support for the offense being ran through Bam?

Last 17 games (11 for Wiggins due to injury):

Bam 14.5 shot attempts, 23.6 usage% (13.5 with Wiggins, 21.8 usage with Wiggins)

Herro 18.5 shot attempts, 28.8 usage%

Wiggins 16.0 shot attempts, 29.1 usage%

When you all build these false narratives you need to be sure someone won’t be there to check you and call out the BS

Easy there fella. Let's not crown him yet. Charlotte is 18-53.


I know very well who Wiggins is as a player.
It is not about this game for me.
I follow him from his first game in NBA.

You will start to know him better and NBA will start to know Wiggins better.

Spoelstra will unlock him 100%.
Wiggins is in his prime and has a coach who believes in him.

Wiggins is not the role player Warriors wanted him to be.
He is the nr 1 pick


I'll defer to you on this one. Spo is definately making him the focal point of the offense. One thing Spo does is get the best out of a player.

You watch alot Wiggins right? You think he can be a consistent goto scorer?? Ive never thought of him ad that, even in MIN days


No and he never has been, he’s a career 17.9 PPG game on .535 TS%, that’s terrible

Yes, he is ready to be the #1 option.
He has worked a lot his game.

He was not ready in Minesota when he was 20 yo but now he is more than capable.

He spent 5 years with Warriors being a sidekick but this was rewarded with a title atleast.
I wanted him out of Warriors from the second season and finally he got out.

Miami and Spoelstra seem to be his place

Jovic coming back is going to lead to a few more wins. Everyone benefits a lot with his playmaking at the 4. He was the hidden super glue to this team and think he’ll be even better getting to play with Wiggins.

If we can get Jovic and promote Keshad Johnson over Jagsmith just that little tweak could be a big difference.

Has Wiggins scored more points in his first however many games as a Heat than any player who has ever joined us? There were some articles out there bout this. Im thinking he gets 50 against GSW.

I'm glad Spo recognized what was working in the last game and stuck to the plan. I'm expecting Wiggs to have a big game next time. The talent is there, and it's still possible for him to have a late-blooming career, he could be that player here in Miami.

Wiggins scored 40 or more for the Timberwolves 8 times. He only scored 40 or more for the Warriors 1 time, back in 2021. The fact that he scored 42 tonight bodes well for us. Again, lets see how consistent he is first before we crown him.

We just beat the Hornets who were coming off 35, 32, 17, and 35 point losses to snap our 10 game losing streak, hang the banner

Which hand was Jovic injury?

Shooting hand

Read on Twitter



It was the thumb? I will say this, I actually shot better returning from a fracture and dislocated thumb on my shooting hand. That was actually the point of my hooping that I became a shooter. It forced me to focus on my touch and how i held the ball.
