“LAMELO HITS A DAGGER 3 TO PUT THE HORNETS UP 6 WITH 15 SECONDS LEFT ON THE CLOCK. THE MIAMI HEAT WILL MISS THE PLAYOFFS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2019!”
Windy on Bam's 43 free throw attempts:
"In talking to some referees who reviewed the film because they wanted to see how it went they thought that most of the calls, most of the fouls were legit. There was not like this belief that these fouls were not legit. Within the NBA family most of the reaction has been celebration"
To the losers hating on Bam’s 83:
The Heat were missing 4 key rotation players. Bam was aggressive from the start. The Wizards could not guard him. They weren’t intentionally fouling to “help” him. They fouled because he forced that issue. They fouled because they couldn’t slow him down.
Bam remained in the game for three reasons: he was unstoppable, he was chasing history, and HEAT HAVE THE MOST BLOWN LEADS.
He wanted history and he got it. Miss me with that “not impressed” bs. 83 points is incredible.
If you score 43 in the first half, as Bam Adebayo just did for the heat, history and the basketball gods obligate you to see how high you can get by the end of the game. I don’t care what the score is or what unwritten rules say about blowouts.
