Wow, Kel'el looks so much bigger than Wemby. I'm really happy for him.
Y’all noticed how the NBA stopped channels from posting strictly Kel’el ware highlights. You can’t find any videos of him from last night because the NBA is upset he cooked wemby 4x already. They only show you the full highlights and Ware looks much bigger than Wemby which says a lot
What are Jakucionis height and weight? Basketball reference doesn't list them yet?
The 60 million dollar man with 3 points 😂
If we can hold a 2nd year player in Ware accountable for inconsistencies why can't we hold Bam, a 9 year vet accountable for all his inconsistencies?
Bam is a max player but what we expect from him is role player output. When he is a little decent we call it great. When he’s bad we say but we know what he’s capable of. Jimmy is gone, I love Bam but he was never that guy simple.
What is happening witn Terry Adebayo 😊
I love your show, but for the love of God! can we get David a better internet connection? 😅🙏🏽
Put Bum Adebayo at the bench. She sucks and is scared to score. Bum Adebayo is trash
What about Bam? Spo should tell him to get to the cup and stop taking jump shots lol
Davion
Powell
Wiggins
Jovic
Ware
I wanna see this lineup never seen it before
Bam has a 9 year track record of being passive and inconsistent and I expect more of the same. He is what he is, an average player.
Miami tips create your own narrative, and ignore facts. Copium x100
BAM just needs to be consistent at the line, and he's a walking 20 an 10.
Kasparas Powell Wiggins bam ware lineup an dru smith pelle Larsson nikola jovic Jaime Jaquez Jr precious achiuwa
Funny how they always blame "Heat fans" for what they constantly do. lol
Our roster is talented for once
I love Bam but if Ware keeps showing up like this move him for Giannis. Bam is great but nowhere near consistent still needs to develop handle agreession etc. Ware potential is S tier I thought Spo wa too critical but I understand it just need that same level with the entire team
Kelel is the real deal if we can get him playing consistently the way hes capable of. Jeez he looked as good as Wemby out there.
Kasper is on the court everyday with Davion one of the if not the best defensive pg in the league, so it's not a fair question.
There are two Books on Bam:
Book #1. The Bam with Jimmy
Book #2. The Bam without Jimmy
You have to throw Book #1 away & stop referencing it ever again! It does not apply for anything moving forward. Hopefully these guys will eventually figure that out as well
Can Spo tough love Bam?…holy hell
Its as if Spo is a HOF coach and the ppl in the comments have no idea what theyre talking about. Imagine that.
Spo didnt have nuttn to do wit Ware, Ware been good, Spo need to "motivate" Jovic who get triple singles every night!! 😂😂
So what about our newly appointed 64 Million Man 3 points all the criticism of where you cannot keep criticizing publicly yes he's going to have bounce back games and he's going to have shabby games but eventually the dog is going to bite back and either ask out not resign or move on
Let the "let's praise the White Man for calling out a young Black Man that is in his 2nd year" videos. You Racist White MAGA Loving Devils is sick! How about breaking down Nikko's game and having Spo call him out
KJ deserves to be in thumbnail, he was phenomenal last night
Bam one of the best defensive but overrated players in the NBA
Why wait for so long? Spo can you give Bam some tough love, too and jolt him from what seem like a deep slumber of some sorts and complanency. Something, earing you up Bam? Be more consistent ,day in, day oit The fans deserve better! Donyou want a championship again Miami Heat?
Maybe this is who Bam is without Jimmy Butler??
The Heat should start looking what they can get for Bam to go along with the Jovic & Ware frontcourt and Herro backcourt already. Bam can net the Heat a proper reset of young prospects and picks.
He's been disappointing for a while now. What has he worked on and gotten better at other than just taking 3s since he got the extension? He still only relies on that horrible inefficient mid range shot as his only offense. Hes not worth that upcoming 50-59 million dollar extension in the new CBA. That contract will cause team building issues very soon.
