• 12 of the 28 games left are against teams with winning records
• 16 of the 28 games against teams with losing records

I wanted 2-3 on that road trip but 1-4 doesn’t surprise me.

35-19 is way ahead of what I expected from these guys so I’m just enjoying the season.

They ran Adebayo ragged: block-to-block sprints culminating in an attempt to reject a shot at the rim; lane agility tests; footwork drills. After an hour, with exhaustion setting in, Heat officials began the drill they were really there to see. They asked Adebayo to switch onto perimeter players, including Justin Jackson, another prospect in attendance, and stay in front of them.

Adebayo turned to Heat brass, including Riley and Spoelstra, and shouted: "Oh, you got me f---ing confused! You got me f---ed up!" Translation: Don't you know who I am? As the stops -- "kills" in Heat parlance -- piled up, the trash talk flowed. "Oh, it was explicit," Adebayo says. It was not friendly taunting. Adebayo was not smiling.

"We were like, 'Is this guy kinda crazy?'" Spoelstra says.

Juwan Howard, then a Miami assistant, locked eyes with Dan Craig, the coach running the drill. "Our eyes got wide," Howard says. "We said, 'This is a Heat guy.' To have the balls to say that in front of Pat Riley -- to say, 'You're not going to pick on me!' -- that's a Heat guy."

Lowe: Bam Adebayo is the fiercest, best NBA player you don't know

 

[iamduval]

Bam always in shape, always available, always plays hard. He’s already a top 10 heat player all time

Wade, Zo, Timmy, UD, Shaq, Bosh, Rice, yea I guess I’d put him in there with Jimmy and Dragic.

Great article, Bam seems like a good son

that hard work and dedication paying off

Hmmm

Definitely a top 10 if not a top 5 favorite of MINE. But if you were to ask most long time Heat fans he might not be in there yet but coming in hot and guaranteed to be in there if he keeps this up and develops the jumper.

In order they JOINED THE TEAM the candidates would be among the list below. Where they fall in anyone's RANKING order ...

1. Rony Seikaly
2. Glenn Rice
3. Steve Smith
4. Alonzo Mourning
5. Tim Hardaway
6. Jamal Mashburn
7. Eddie Jones
8. Dwyane Wade
9. Shaquille O'Neal
10. Chris Bosh
11. LeBron James
12. Goran Dragiç
13. Bam Adebayo
14. Jimmy Butler

Spoiler

Justise Winslow
Michael Bradley

I say we revisit this discussion in 3 years.

shyt!

That grueling NBA schedule it taking a toll on his 19 y/o body. Nunn holding up but he's older and stronger. We'll just have to rely on Duncan Robinson for now to space out the floor.

 

[intruder]

He wouldn’t sign an extension

fukk him. Every time an appealing FA or payer spurns us Riley always gets us someone even better and ends up working out for the better.

Remember when Riley got played by Mo Williams? Mo freakin' Williams had the don looking like a fool...IN PUBLIC!!
What did Riley do 2 years later? Pulled off the heist that netted us Bosh and LeBron. Had that same Mo Williams so depressed that LeBron left him he got depressed and contemplated retirement. I personally cant wait til we make Gordon Hayward pay for his insolence 2 summers ago. Besides, rumors are that Embiid and/or Beal may be asking for trades next year. We dont have much leverage but it's worth looking into

I think you’re forgetting someone

Nah believe it or not it killed me to leave Chalmers and Arroyo off my list
