Miami Heat: 3 Things You Absolutely Hate To See From This Team

Bam Adebayo has been a different guy this season, thus far. Though there is still meat on the bone with him and his game, you like what you have seen so far.

Going Away From Bam Adebayo

That’s just it though. There is more meat there, so why not get it?

For some reason, the Heat find themselves going away from Bam.

That may be after a series of good plays, when he has shown to be able to exploit his matchup, or if he’s, simply, been on fire throughout a game.

The most pertinent example comes from the Clippers game. Bam had scored 20 or so in the first period, finished the half with about 24, but only scored 30 for the game.

How is that possible? How is he going that good and doesn’t score but six more points?

How is he going that good and doesn’t get the requisite touches to only score six more points? Just… How?

It doesn’t make sense and it never does. The Miami Heat have a burgeoning machine on their hands and they better turn him loose at some point.
