Dude Half the nation hatin on Bam and the Heat organization because he past Kobe and leaving the narrative at the door that he had over 70 before the intentional foul and Washington was scared to guard him straight up so they fouled other Heat players.
Worst example of today’s NBA yet… This 83 will be a tombstone 🪦 in NBA history
keep winning. 50 wins is possible and the 5th seed. that's gonna create buzz and those east leading teams will be afraid to face them in then playoffs. congrats Bam and Go Heat!
Spo needs to run a little more through bam on the block when the offense gets in a dry spell. He doesn't need to be the #1 option but he needs to have more responsibility on offense.
Shot up David let Bam rise to his potential
david hating so much bamonte the goat
The only things this changes is Bam being more aggressive, that is the only thing that needs to change. Not the offense not trying to force feed bam from now on. This team got out of the play in by more than just this one game but I do think this can change Bams aggression.
The excitement around bam is electric and warranted, but I agree with David, we shouldn't change our offense to a more bam centric offense. This game was a perfect storm. He's much better in secondary role on offense and defensive anchor. I'll be happy to be wrong and he blossoms into "alpha" on offense.
I think with Ware improving on defense, Bam can be the no. 1 option. He can play with either Herro or Powel who can be both no. 2. Considering Herro and Powel still need to work on their minutes together… 😘
If Bam can avg 35+ in these next 4 games that matter!! I will be impressed, chances are he's not but I will say, he has stepped up to the challenge Wade and Spo have put on Herro and Him. So far so good
David saying you can't take a leap in year 9 when he watches Norm Powell every night 😂
I got 2 comments about the buzz 1st i seen wade video about the buzz in the city 2nd is i believe we where starting to get buzz on how we are playing and how we would be a tough out in the playoffs every yr its similar buzz but the 83 point game didn't buzz the city we ringing now and there are some eyes on us i feel heat literally anger towards us and i love it lets go heat tonight we got the bucks there will be extras watching
This is pathetic. Like bud says. Now we know your character.
“83 is different. Love seeing the work pay off. Don’t let anyone discredit greatness. Keep pushing the game forward. #MambaMentality”
– Kobe if he was with us.. probably
Wes’ levels of cope and delusion always impress me 🤣
AT THIS POINT, the 4th seed is looking juicy 👀
So you can’t take a leap in year 9?? We do have an example. Norm Powell? He became an all star late. Bam can definitely make another jump. 26 ppg the rest of the season. Watch.
Hell, Bam grabbing 30 boards would be pretty crazy
i think if Bam can get to 25 a night with the defense, thats a good base. if he starts getting calls his way when he drives to the hoop thats not much of a stretch. hes been avg 20 with basically paint touches but if he can shoot 35-38% from 3 and get a few more calls he absolutely can take a 5 pt jump
BAM "Ocho Tres" Adebayo
Damn David just because you cant get better don’t mean Bam cant lol smh
The ceiling is lifted!!
Next record will be Ware. Most 3 point shots made by a center in a single game!😂
Why does david hate D Rose so much 😂
I hope that the 83 points don't drive him crazy and bcuz of that he doesn't play like a team mate anymore.
Bam literally said he wanted to be a 30 point per game scorer he definitely wants to be the guy
it’s been exciting and unreal right now but we haven’t finished the mission yet. Orlando has to go down
