Miami Heat’s Teachable Moments From Milwaukee Bucks: An Aggressive Bam Adebayo

More Offensive Aggression from Bam Adebayo

This was something that was harped on all last season and will continue to be until it’s no longer a thing. Bam Adebayo has all the ability in the world, but he has to realize and recognize that.

If the Miami Heat want to be their best selves, then Bam has to be his best self and that includes being as aggressively as humanly possible on the offensive end. The Miami Heat go as Bam and Jimmy Butler do and that’s not only on the defensive end of the floor, but on the offensive side as well.

Too often, Brook Lopez was able to sit back at the rim. It wasn’t drop coverage off of the screen, it was stay coverage under the rim.

He literally sat there and Bam didn’t, seemingly, attempt to make him pay for it, more often than not. He has to be better there moving forward.

The Milwaukee Bucks are competing for a title, so there’s that. Does it mean anything to get swept by the team competing for a title, if you are going to get swept… or no?
