What Bam did in three quarters…incredible.
Keeping Bam in during a blowout, I’m even cool with that.
Intentionally fouling up 25 late to get extra possessions to stat pad and eventually break Kobe - of all people’s - record…corniest thing I’ve seen in a while 😂
@dpats927 A- Lakers were not fouling up 15 to get Kobe more FTs, and his teammates weren’t intentionally missing FTs to try and get extra possessions.
B- Raptors didn’t have an incentive to tank their season 41 games in. Wizards can lose their pick to NY if they win a few more games.
Heat were internationally fouling up 25 with a 1:25 left to try to get the ball back.
Keshad Johnson intentionally missed a free throw up 26 to try and get the ball back
Brian Keefe and the entire Wizards roster just sat around and let the Heat disrespect them
@dpats927 Miami was up 25+ and were stat padding for Bam against a tanking team. If he scores 70/75 points, its a legendary game in Miami Heat history, but since they put on a clown show in the last 3 minutes to get him to 83, ball knowers know Kobe’s 81 is WAY more impressive
JJ Reddick on Bam’s 83:
“I walked in and saw the score…said to my coaching staff ‘the Heat are rolling.’ They said ‘are you kidding right now… no Bam has 77!’ I was like huh? I watched the last 3 minutes and that was uh, different type of basketball”😭
The Toronto Blue Jays are finalizing a trade to acquire right-hander Shane Bieber from the Cleveland Guardians, sources tell ESPN. The Jays have been looking for another starter, and they get one in the former AL Cy Young winner. On the news: @jonmorosi.
