David is right, there should be huge concern if the Heat can't beat G League Hawks team, Wes cmon man
Just Trade Bam and Build around Ware and the real All Stars Leader in this Team !! OUR TYLER HERRO !!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉. Sorry for the Bam ‘s believers 😅😊
Time to trade Bam. Play the kids. Get a higher draft pick. This roster aint gonna do it….
This whole preseason is a big deal. I've been looking around the league at other preseason games, and the competition is already looking stiff. Especially in the west. Those are looking like real games…
We need to start getting up to speed with "Team Ball"
SPO IS unable to build any Team. 😊
You know for everyone in the fanbase & media propping up Bam as the best player it is funny how he can't be depended on to lead this team or score. Whats even crazier is they dont want to pay Herro something reasonable now but need him to come back to "save" this team.
They got a guy on a max contract who plays like a role player and is a 3rd or 4th option at best.
What kind of max player in the league has those kind of low expectations?
Even now he plays behind what Powell and Wiggins will do and at some points he'll take a backseat to Jovic & Ware too. The Heat should trade Bam for some nice fits next to Herro, Jovic, & Ware.
I hope we go 0-10 the first ten games that EVERYBODY sees this team for what it is, another trash play in year with no lottery pick. We need to pick a direction NOW! trade the max players for picks and a good young player and embrace ts for one year and build around KAS, NIKO and WARE! This is gettin really ridiculous and Bams value will go down if we don't do it now. The Draft will be crazy next year too
The Hawks team was basically the Patrick Star meme "Who are you people" 😭
Bam actually sucks rn
Bam has to go. Get a true point guard. Center the offense around Ware. The efficiency will improve. The turnovers will decrease. Stop shooting threes. 5 for 34…3 for 30 in regularion should be enough to get any coach fired.
Wiggins is terrible, just collecting a check
Side note: Ethan Thompson can score. That shot looks fluid.
Another part not accounted for is the defensive attention & gravity Herro brings which no other Heat player has. Him being on the court gives other guys more open looks which raises the teams attempts and efficiency. Hopefully he gets back sooner rather than later.
The Heat and the Dolphins a tank season for both.
I don't really make anything of pre-season games. Pretty much every year the regular season ends up being the exact opposite of what we see in the pre-season. I'll judge after the first 15-20 games of the regular season.
Like always yall doing too much. The team looked good when Kas was out there. Besides the youngins and Bam everyone else has looked good. Let’s wait and see before bashing in the preseason lol
I’m so tired of every Miami Heat podcaster giving excuses as to why Bam is so incredibly mid. This is our number 1? What a joke
Until spo gets a offensive coordinator the offense is going to struggle
If Ware will start, Jackucionis should start if not Niko. Dru is not a playmaker/table setter
You guys spent 10 minutes talking about JJ's offense which has looked better than last year. But you need to stop watching the game like a fan and watch like a coach. You didn't mention his defense once. If you would watch him you would know he is the weakest point of attack defender on the team. He can't defend anyone! G leaguers ate him alive yesterday and it just hasn't been one game. If Spo does start him or bring him off the bench he is not gonna last long unless he steps it up on defense.
The Heat finished last season in humiliating fashinand they continue the trend. That how it starts
Is bam lowkey chucking a butler?
Im use to bam showing out at the start of every season and after allstar goes missing.
He got hes max contract he wants to go play elsewhere perhaps rockets with durant or gs with butler, perhaps even end up in boston with jt after trades.
Maybe bam wasnt ready to be CAPTAIN!
What do WE expect from an organization , that gives a guaranteed contract to Keshad Johnson ?
Don
Don’t worry nor fret. the pre season games are not the sole gauge of the Heat’s fate for this incoming season. Theregular season is the real deal. & looking forward to it. Stay optimistic, Heat Nation. Have faith in Coach Spo and the players. They need not risk any injury of whatever kind, at this point. We got a talent laden team. Consider the rebuilding, we need to be more understanding and accepting of them, the adjustments & for whatever shortcomings they may have At least, they keep on trying. Coach Spo calling them out is a good thing be mindful and accept it be challenged and prove that you’re better than that, and Jaime and K’lel are doing just that. Sometimes, but most of the time, Bam and Herro are good for the Miami Heat!!!
Bam Adebayo needs to come to New York knicks like Charles Oakley….
Miami will never win a ring with bam earning a max contract, i like him but not at that price
Spoiler alert. They suck.
Wes, they suck.
