Too early to be labelling the front court pairing as a “failure”
We desperately need to see a Starting 5 of:
Ware, Bam, Wigs, Powell and Herro
Need to see how this works and the dynamics of this lineup
Some how the heat made this game close lol
Bad games aside, Ware has outplayed Bam lately. Spo has zero consistency w the lineups. Loves small ball like it’s still 2014, and has hugeee favortism towards older players.
Thank you Wes, I almost felt like you were quoting my comment at the end of that “Bam-Ware Frontcourt” segment ❤️
If you notice Bam Adebayo production went down because he stopped shooting the threes he started hesitating and thinking about it and turning them down and that's where a lot of his struggles is coming from teams are allowing him to shoot the three they are daring him to shoot the three if you watch the game he won't take it here turn it down or hesitate and then he'll miss it
Spo with that small ball crap again. What does he have against playing centers?
How is Bam and Ware been a failure when 80 percent of the games they started together the Miami heat team won 😂😂😂make it make sense the team starts to lose every time Tyler hero comes back why don’t you guy’s discuss that they don’t win on consistent basis when hero comes back they just won 4 games in a row as soon as hero comes back they loses the first game 😂😂😂he’s only a scorer not an all around team player 😂😂😂
It should be Davion off the bench. Herro and Powell open up the floor for Bam/Ware/Wiggins. Davion is a reliable pg but he’s not an offensive threat.
