  1. In a way, it was a blessing Heat missed on Giannis. Look how Bam, Tyler, Ware and the rest of the team are playing! 😊

    Meanwhile, the Bucks suck and are so far out of even a play-in contention! 😂

  2. Probably can continue his record setting pace with most points scored in a two game stretch. I don’t know what that record is, but I’m sure he’s close enough to get it.

  3. Look we all know KB would of ended with 97 if we of played in the 4th, but Bam was supposed to be only a Hustle player and lob threat, so for him to score 83 is remarkable. I'm proud and you can never take this away from him at all and I feel like the wizards were actually trying to stop him

  4. Bam bum ass finally gets to the free throw line and take advantage of mismatches for once and look what happens. Should of been this dude when Jimmy was here. Enjoy the moment, I'm sure Bam can take the rest of the season off now.
    Trade Bam.
    Retire Pat.
    Let's go Heat.

  5. What should be the expectation for Bam moving forward? Should they go up? I don’t see how he can’t average 25 PPG if he’s consistently aggressive. I understand it’s the Wizards but he’s been showing what happens when he’s aggressive on a smaller scale in the 5 games before this one. 🤷🏾‍♂️

  6. i can’t stand the hate, if it was there favorite player they would be shouting from the rooftops. idc however he got the points because he got EIGHTY THREE POINTS!!! absolutely insane

  7. Frank Isola’s take this morning on SiriusXM diminishing Bam Adebayo’s 83-point performance felt pretty biased. If a player from the Knicks or Nets had dropped 83, the conversation would likely be about how historic and incredible it was. Eighty-three points is extraordinary no matter the team, opponent, or market. Performances like that deserve recognition, not selective skepticism.

  8. Hey.. I’ll be the first to admit, I’ve thought Bams been overrated for the longest and think he chokes when it matters most… but I’ve been waiting for him to give me reasons to like him or at least give him some of the credit The Heat organization does.. so I’m happy to see this from him. Hope he continues to prove me wrong and break records! 👏🏼🫡

  9. And yal wanted to trade em. Shame on both of you. Yal talked crap about bam all season just for him to have the 2nd most scored ever. This pod doesnt deserve to talk about this
