Just watchin the game-

Ethan Thompson sticks out, hes very fluid
Keshad is atheletic as hell, jumping everywhere, hes like a smallball 5
Offense looks alot faster, i like it
Wiggins looks like hes finding his role
De Silva looks reallly good, I liked him coming out of the draft, but hes interesting playing w/ Paolo

The game was close until 3min left in the 4th, not bad

You can't predict the rotation from the first preseason game hell not any of the preseason games.

Big game tonight. Lose and it’s all over. Fire Spo. Triple down on small ball and get a coach that truly gets it. Trade Bam to the Warriors for whatever they are willing to give up and cut the rest of the bigs. Herro would be good at center. Bring Luke Babbitt back to play PF.

Spoiler:
Nah just playing.

Yes, I also think we do have "that kind of talent"... I can go as far as to say that even bam Has it in him to score ...But unfortunately for us it has been coached Out of Him

I don't know if it was jb or spo but dam man!...They have made a mess... I think
he is 50% the player he could have been

It's not like Bam was a scorer his lone season at Kentucky.

Malik Monk: 14.7 FGA ... 19.8 PPG
De'Aaron Fox: 12.4 FGA ... 16.7 PPG
Bam Adebayo: 7.5 FGA ... 13.0 PPG

All of them were freshmen. Some guys just don't have it in them.

It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Or multiple people get hurt.

Maybe Spo should've told Davion and Kasparas to chill.

Do you have a source for this assertion? "But unfortunately for us it has been coached Out of Him"

I have never heard that Coach Spoelstra and the coaching staff have discouraged Bam Adebayo to not try to score.

What I have seen is a lack of aggression to score at times. Sometimes when he tries to score, he dances with the ball and allows the defense to bottle him up into a contested shot. He needs to go with aggression to the opening, seek the contact, and finish. No big can stay in front Bam if he really wanted to be aggressive. I also suspect that Bam is exerting so much energy on the defensive end that he does not have the energy to shoulder a load on the offensive end. Better overall team defense improvement should help. Duncan Robinson was unfortunately a defensive liability, but now he is gone.

Today I want to see some offense that is center around Bam. Last game we seen an offense centered around Jovic and Jaquez.

I cannot believe that this Miami Heat roster of roll players is projected to be over the salary cap by approximately $42.8 million. OMG, we have the worst GM in the league.

Gardner is sloppy but at least he is playing hard. Keels is ruining a showcase moment
