Jaime Jaquez Jr., Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, Erik Spoelstra | Postgame Interview | January 6, 2025

Didn’t watched the interview but I already knew it’s Bam sniffling instead of taking accountability for his crap offense and Spo talking about “the right intention”. I’m tired of suffering. We need major changes.

[@KevondrickBailey]

What about Spo taking accountability for allowing us to give up near 20 offensive rebounds? I mean, Small Ball ain't working no more with these big line ups. Or I guess the last 2 Finals we were in didn't teach you nothing

[@kaydevious]

@@KevondrickBailey It didnt teach the team anything either, apparently. Been making the same mistakes and giving away games the same way for years now. Saying you're taking accountability for something doesn't mean jack shit if you just go out and do it again and again and again and again...

[@KevondrickBailey]

​@@kaydeviouswe have a chance to have a 7 foot center out there with defense and a lob threat like Bam. Plus Ware can shoot the 3. And Jovic can shoot the 3 at 6'11. Although Jovic is really a point guard. So we have the pieces, as I been saying for the last 5 years, Spo just doesn't know how to use his roster the right way. Because Ware, Bam, and Jovic could all start at the same time.

[@davidtran3280]

@@KevondrickBaileyit’s not that we know whether it will work, it’s that Spo won’t even try it which is irritating Can’t wait to see what Ware and Bam on the court together looks like, I’m sure it’ll be fantastic

Pathetic comments keep mentioning losing without Jimmy Butler as if the guy wasn't the one who quit the team and threw his teammates under the bus for money. The Heat wanted him to keep playing and being with them, and he still has 50m+ guaranteed next year. Don't try to twist this into anything else except that Jimmy Butler quit for money.

Which means you get somebody else that can do the same he's not the only player in the league that can do that.

[@Zingerzz]

Hey Spo, he’s the breakthrough you’re looking for: Ware!! If we were watching the same game, that 17 pt lead was built with him anchoring the defense. Changed shots, got rebounds, sabonis couldn’t get a sniff of the rim! Offensively those lobs he’s catching are unstoppable. You’re a good coach, make the read and make the adjustments. As soon as bam came back in the 4th with 7mins to go, that lead quickly evaporated. Why? Can’t rebound, gave up second chance opps, and almost a non factor on offense. If all he’s doing is DHO’s is honestly no different than Ben Simmons… Lopez/Giannis Allen/mobley Ihart/chet Howard/AD AD/Bam (USA - you were part of the coaching team remember?) Gobert/Kat UD/Bosh?! Fair to say most of these pairings has seen a bit of success. Your main guys has to be Ware/Bam/Jovic/Herro and that 5th can be whoever depending on matchup (Robinson/H/JJJ) No more excuses bro, if you keep rolling with the same lineup and expect a different outcome. It’s on you.

[@seifeddinefardous8813]

Ware is a rookie lil bro, he'll get killed on both ends of the floor. last night he only played when the Kings were going small lineup

[@jmha2428]

​​@@seifeddinefardous8813They got killed on the boards regardless why not throw some size atleast to help slow the kings down from going in the paint, and at his height some rebounds literally just land on him

[@DanielCastillo-sd5pu]

Precisely. Ware is a game changer. Should move Bam to the 4 and start Ware

[@jmha2428]

@@Zingerzz 17 pt lead had already shrunk in half when he brought Bam back in for Ware so im not gonna say if Spo had kept that lineuup with Ware they woulda cruised to the blowout win but maybe keep Kel el in and and add Bam for a few min together, atleast, its worth a try

[@Zingerzz]

@@seifeddinefardous8813 I get he’s a rookie. But the only player getting killed both ends of the floor last night was Bam…if kings went small, how they gonna stop Ware/Bam in the paint together? High-low / low-high action. I know they’d kill it. Not a single minute on the court together is ridiculous…Bam needs to simplify his game and start catching lobs and see the ball go in the hoop.

[@Zonbachiru]

Jaquez with the brutal 2 missed FTs, missed open 3, and getting stuffed twice in OT on otherwise open shots.. Tough after a well played game for the first 3 quarters. A lot of what allowed the Kings back in this game were on his shoulders tonight.

[@thejosiahjames2751]

Bam is the most soft player I’ve seen and I just watched a double overtime with sabonis. Stop fading. The shots not falling. You might as well go straight up and get to line and maybe you’ll have a game where you have more points than shots

[@paulgurley719]

If his team mates start rebounding, and stop missing FREE THROWS this game would be over a long time ago. Do you know what a BAM INJURY WOULD MEAN FOR THE HEAT? THEY'D BE DONE

[@thejosiahjames2751]

@ nah man bam can’t grab rebounds and he’s playing the 5 this isn’t on his team mates. And bam misses free throws to miss me with that. This dude is the highest payed player behind Jimmy. If he’s paid like that he needs to step up.

[@Mac2Mon]

Heat went up 17 pts with Bam & Rozier on the bench. What 2 guys are having a terrible season… Bam and Terry…. Get it together Spo! The answer is always Ware + Niko + Herro. Best 2 wins of the season: Minnesota & Houston. Both games, no Jimmy, both games leading scorers Tyler & Niko
