Bam Adebayo scored or assisted on all of Miami’s last 25 points in the win over Washington. Incredible performance
🚨NEW EPISODE🚨
With Jimmy Butler out due to injury and Miami losing by 8 to the Wizards, it was up to Bam Adebayo to carry the team to victory.
He responded with one of the best games of his career.

This has been building since 2010 and intensifies whenever Miami goes after any star player, from The Decision to “Butler is getting a head start on retirement.” Twitter would have melted in 1996 when David Stern ruled against Pat Riley trying to add Gary Payton and Juwan Howard
Hoo boy, Miami fans are MADDDDDD.
Y'all are getting Dame. You have effectively used your leverage to shut off all other options. We don't HAVE to pretend like you have a great trade package. It's a shit package, it's going to happen anyway. You're not the first team either.

I’ve seen Miami play and I don’t think they should be overly concerned with scoring too much that it takes away from the “integrity of the game”
Bam Adebayo on importance of point differential for the In-Season Tournament: "That's the thing a lot of guys I've been seeing disagree with because if you're up 15 and you're trying to get a point differential with 40 seconds, it takes the integrity from the game."

Miami is still going to be fine, regardless. They were never supposed to be as good as they’ve been over the last four seasons and they’ve won a lot. That may happen again this year.

I don't want to even mention it because it just seems so ludicrous to me, but does anyone actually care about Boston's "only lost two quarters" thing? Does that matter? If you lose them in dramatic fashion, the game swings dramatically. Isn't that how it always works?

The more I consider it, I think I understand why it’s the better decision for Jimmy Butler to shoot that 3 with 16 seconds left. No guarantee what happens next or if you get a better opportunity to win. He earned the right to take it and it was a good look

Per source, Portland has remained disinclined to engage Heat in serious trade discussions on Lillard. Blazers acting disinterested about dealing him here. One would think Blazers would get serious about this at some point, but they're still not engaging Miami in negotiations

But, and hear me out, what if they’re not better?
That point detracts from what Miami is capable of and what they’ve done through two games. You’re taking away credit from the team that built the 26-point lead by saying the team who’s lost twice in three times just made mistakes
I think it's relevant because I think the Celtics are the better team by a meaningful margin, and that the main reason they're down in this series is a lack of focus/beating themselves.
To me, the quarters-thing underlines that point.
