The nerve of Bum Adebayo. Bam wouldn't even be close to being the player he is if someone else drafted him. He would've dropped to number 25 in the 1st at best. He would be a Precious Achiuwa if it weren't for the Heat development.
I'll stand by it, Jimmy butler was right. The front office has other agendas that have nothing to doing with winning championships. Bam didn't peep game cuz he got paid, now that he's in the captains chair he's seeing what butler was talking about.
They won't decide on youth or the vets. They want Giannis but don't want to trade pieces to get the assets then spin some bullshit about wanting Ant, after just wanting KD after just wanting Dame after just wanting Donovan. Ja and Trae were right there for CHEAP! The Arisons and Pat are fucking incompetent on the business end and Spo is too damn stubborn to change his approach to win some fking games.
Man Spo. I love him but His stubbornness and refusal to play size against size cost us 5 championship runs by record margins. Don't lie and say it was just the jimmy/bam teams either, that's with lebron and wade, too. HE'S the common denominator. He's wasted Jimmy's window, he's wasting Bams window, he chose tyler over duncs and we see how thats working out, he can't find a lineup that works because he won't try something long enough to see what works and he's wasting wares development years and potentially costing him future money because he doesn't play with spo brand of scrappiness so he won't play him.
And then there's Pat. He's old. He's out of touch and that box of rings don't mean shit with no FA market. People are on to his hustle and swindling people ain't as easy as it used to be and his lack of foresight when moving off of and using contracts and assets for leverage cost us Giannis and Dame on silver fking platers. Because we would rather be losers on the big stage than winners of the long game. Okc and Boston and fucking New York are running laps around us and doing tricks wit it.
He’s already expressed being tired of playing small ball. One thing I give him credit, is handling things professionally throughout his career (despite a couple of social political media jabs, which are forgivable). But, he refuses to attack his coach Spo, though Spo attacks his players. Bam is keeping composure. I can feel, that he wants to go off on Spo the way Jimmy did a few years back.
Spo gets no blame here. His team goes from “Top 5” defense for 5/6 years, while being “Bottom 5” offense – to “Top 5” offense this year while being “bottom 5” defense. This is bonkers! While we love the new offense, our defense went completely backwards. The tips of the scale is absurd.
Also, we all know and love the effort of Davion Mitchell, but he overplays him in rotations, and we struggle a lot on offense, or finding the right rotations for Herro, Powell, Wiggins, to be on the court together. He never allows this to unfold fluidly, because Davion is on the court “bringing the ball up.” He’s on the court because Spo loves his effort and defense, but we clearly see how terrible we are on defense, so what’s the point?
Spo loves to overplay defensive players who aren’t an offensive threat, even if it hurts the playing time of your offensive players.
And lastly, small ball. The mistreatment of Kalel Ware is getting out of hand. I really feel bad for the young guy. An incredible talent, rotting away under Spo’s temperamental, philosophical – tipping of the scales ⚖️ inconsistencies. Even Bam is getting tired of it. He expressed earlier in the year. Now he will begin to show his frustrations elsewhere.
The reason I give Bam a slide on his oft-offensive deficiencies, is because he truly is a very hard worker, and it’s clear to us he will not do or be what we’ve wanted him to be offensively. Once you let this go, you can appreciate him for his all around, hard working effectiveness. It’s like Iggy when he was on the Sixers; they wanted more from him, but he was never that guy. When he landed on the right team, he helped them win many championships with high iq, hardworking mentality on both ends of the court.
Saddens me to say this, but Bam is a champion, unfortunately stuck on the wrong team. We don’t need player changes, we need coaching – personnel changes. Enough is enough. The Heat coaches and personnel are like the NBA referees – they don’t have to take any accountability for their mistakes.
Oh boy! I do wish BAM finally asks out! Best thing he could ever do for his career! Been critical of bam cause he isn’t a no.1 option but dude bam with sga, or Brunson and OG, heck even jalen brown, id be psyched for him to get a chance to contend! He should do it. In the same way this fo failed jimmy, they’re likewise failing bam. And a lot of the bam hate is because this fo won’t give him a true no. 1 excited for this to happen. Maybe it will wake our fo up
We need to keep on losing and the other play in teams need to keep winning. Build from the ground up. Instead of chasing for superstars that don’t join us
being a tenured Heat fan im tired of the play in! just going by the eye test im pretty sure we have below 500 record vs good teams! thats the biggest issue!
Bam is one of the biggest reasons why this team is mid. based both on production and contract. if they're tired of the play in, then play like it. plain and simple.
This team is exactly what it looks like, a Miami Invitational play-in squad. Even Wade and Shaq said two weeks ago that this group isn’t good enough. It’s just wild that people are only now starting to see it. I’ve never thought Bam was that guy, even going back to college. He’s improved, sure, but not to a true superstar level. And I see a lot of people would criticized Jimmy Butler for taking games off. But when Jimmy sits, why isn’t Bam or Herro elevating their game? That’s what stars do. When Kevin Durant missed games in OKC, you knew Russell Westbrook and James Harden were going to go crazy in his absence. I’ve never consistently seen that kind of takeover mentality from Bam or Herro. Really it’s time to blow it up because I’m sick of seeing this same movie
He doesn't mean the team Tobin. He is sick of the effort, especially on defense. We came out so passive in a game that both teams had to have. Letting Maxey get hot was the first issue. It starts on defense. We have enough rotation players that everyone's effort has got to be higher. We'll see what how Saturday's game goes.
Ok I guess it's doom and gloom time. Let's have a real conversation. Bam is the problem. He is the modern day Joe Johnson. Not quite a star but better than a role player. If you invest in them they will be solid but never able to carry a team. But those type of players require the same investment as stars. The only time bam can score 25 pts is when he takes 25 shots . His defense is ok but his switching to smalls often exposes the guards on other team bigs. Stars like bam but aren't fighting to play with him cause they see his limitations. Bam is a great role player and championship teams aren't built around role players.
This just shows one of the biggest problems with this team. From top to bottom this entire organization is delusional . I don't want to hear that we are better than a play-in team. That is factually incorrect. We are about to be in it for the fourth straight season. How can you say we are better than that? This is where the "culture" becomes toxic. No one wants to accept the reality of the situation. Teams have been blatantly hard tanking these last 2 season, yet this team still manages to lose against them. We are more deserving of being in the lottery than the playoffs.
And I'm sick of Bam Adebayo being our franchise player. My solace is it won't last forever. The effect can last pretty long tough if we give up on Ware because of him.
Tell Bam to stop shooting 3's down 5 with 2 minutes to go when the team is trying to come back smh. He should be the last one trying to shoot a three with the game on the line. Get to the basket
Ill never forgive the heat for going on that 10 game losing then winning 10 just to make the play in and get swept first round and it looks like they’re trynna do it again

Bam adebayo is the problem!!! Also this team sucks. They have the worst defense I have ever seen a heat team have.
Heat fans are sick of Bam because he plays like Bum Adebayo when the Heat needs a bucket desperately. Adebayo needs to refund back his salary
Bam has sucked all year long inconsistent asf. I been saying this for years now to trade Bam and get assets for him.
Bam is one of the biggest reasons why this team is mid. based both on production and contract. if they're tired of the play in, then play like it. plain and simple.
The team needs to tank and get a decent pick
Bam lost his joy?
This team is exactly what it looks like, a Miami Invitational play-in squad. Even Wade and Shaq said two weeks ago that this group isn’t good enough. It’s just wild that people are only now starting to see it. I’ve never thought Bam was that guy, even going back to college. He’s improved, sure, but not to a true superstar level.

He doesn't mean the team Tobin. He is sick of the effort, especially on defense. We came out so passive in a game that both teams had to have. Letting Maxey get hot was the first issue. It starts on defense. We have enough rotation players that everyone's effort has got to be higher. We'll see what how Saturday's game goes.
Love BAM but he is VERY replaceable.
We need another Q&A live stream Tobs
“ Precious over me !?” Tyrese Maxey 😂😂😂😂😂
call him bambi it suits him better
Ok I guess it's doom and gloom time. Let's have a real conversation. Bam is the problem. He is the modern day Joe Johnson. Not quite a star but better than a role player.

Well tell your idiotic coach stop playing 6’5 players at power forward and yall just watch rebounds fly right by yall 😂
This just shows one of the biggest problems with this team. From top to bottom this entire organization is delusional . I don't want to hear that we are better than a play-in team. That is factually incorrect. We are about to be in it for the fourth straight season. How can you say we are better than that? This is where the "culture" becomes toxic.

We are more deserving of being in the lottery than the playoffs.
Honestly seems like this build is about to implode, players and coaches are starting to get very specific in the post game interviews.
And I'm sick of Bam Adebayo being our franchise player.
My solace is it won't last forever. The effect can last pretty long tough if we give up on Ware because of him.
Trade bam for picks. Keep Kas, Ware, Pelle, and even Gardner. The rest can just go away
Good trade his ass
Tell Bam to stop shooting 3's down 5 with 2 minutes to go when the team is trying to come back smh. He should be the last one trying to shoot a three with the game on the line. Get to the basket
Ill never forgive the heat for going on that 10 game losing then winning 10 just to make the play in and get swept first round and it looks like they’re trynna do it again
