You can't say that the Knicks have the edge and are better than the Heat and also say that they "found a way to win". If the knocks were such a good team, then why did they loose 1 game at home? Why did the Knicks barely tied the series with a bunch of D leaguers? No Herro, no Butler, No oladipo, even max Struss was out for a period of time b/c he was injured! ESPN What joke!
Did they just say the Knicks are the deeper team… when the Heat bench out scored their bench yesterday… while missing Jimmy, Herro, and Oladipo???
They really think Knicks gon win the series
Bam something is wrong with him!!! Anyway we will win 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤮
the knicks only won that because of the refs LMFAO
J will has a bad, bad take. I am a Knicks fan and I watched that game and Bam hurt us as much as anyone. Bam got both Mitch and Hartenstein in foul trouble, limiting them on defense. Bam ran most of Heat offense, making a ton of assists resulting in high % shots. He controlled the boards by himself against Randle and Mitch or Hartenstein (one of the best offensive rebound lineups in the NBA). Heat wanted it to be a perimeter game and Bam executed it, setting up a lot of Heat players. It's not being 'passive', it's executing what your coach wanted from you and sacrificing individual stats for the team.
BAM IS TRASH 38 MINUTES 15 POINTS?
They are running bam off the high pick and roll… he should be in the low block closer to the basket instead he’s standing there trying to figure out if he should pass or create a shot
He can't get those shots because he only shoots from VERY specific parts of the floor and those parts of the floor are easy to take away. This man doesn't enforce his will on a game offensively, he takes what the defense gives him like any other role player. The issue isn't Bam, he's a good player, the issue is his contract. If he got paid 20 million a year no one would care that his offense is pedestrian. But at the 33, 34 and 37 million he'll be making over the next six seasons…w0000….
i would've had more points than bam if coach spo woulda put me in
Mike has the worst takes ever lmao
Randle is better than Bam
Spo doesn't get much credit
Bam’s offensive passivity is caused from how he’s used in Spo’s offense. If you watch the Heat, they run a ton of high screens and hand offs for shooters. Bam is usually not facing the basket as a scoring threat. When he gets the ball with an opportunity to score, he hesitates and takes an awkward shot. It’s what makes us work as a team but also causes Bam to struggle.
Bam isn’t aggressive enough.
I have questions about the officiating
New Ben Simmons maybe? 😂
the Knicks have the edge? the Heat nearly took 2 road games from the supposed favored Knicks with their best player out the entire game 2.
This broad lost her marbles. How does the Knicks have the edge if they barely won at home, Miami have no Butler or Herro and we destroyed the favorites in the Bucks. Knickerbockers fans are delusion.
The knicks had 25 and 30 points from all their stars. Barrret even came to the party. The heat had zero stars. Be carful. Miami has been in the hunt for the last three years. Don’t sleep, I pick Miami to win in 5. Same players all have the playoff experience.
This news network irks me. “Oh my god the Knicks are the playoffs one year so they’re auto favorites!” Julius randle is hurt. Brunson being guarded by Jimmy for longer periods of time is in the cards if he’s healthy.
Heat in 6 still. They’ll take game 5 in the garden probably, and then we’ll handle business in Miami
Coach spo is one of the greatest coaches ever
How do the Knicks have the edge???? They barely scraped by against a heat team missing their best player, Tyler and Vic. They literally needed the refs to conjure up 6 points for them to win by 6 POINTS?!!!!!! Hahahahahahahahahahhaahahaha HEAT IN 5
The Heat have the edge, they lost by 6 without their star player.. The next two are in Miami. Wouldn’t be surprised if we go back to New York 3-1 Miami.
Bam is definitely passive. I wouldn’t keep him at the 5.. Any type of physical activity against him, he folds. This is what happened in the conference finals last year against Robert Williams, same thing happened against Anthony Davis in the finals (bubble) same thing happened in round 1 against Brook Lopez.. Be physical with Bam and he turns in to a glorified jump shooter.
THANK YOU J WILL!!….how Bam escapes criticism is beyond me. Dude gets max money and has Caleb and Gabe carrying the Heat.
Bam is undersized and limited offensively, Yes, he could be more aggressive offensively at times, but he'd be better playing the 4 next to a big 5.
And today's NBA being dominant in the mid-range isn't good enough, you have to also be able to hit 3's.
If you notice even Jimmy starts to shoot 3's in the postseason because it's necessary. Bam's defense, running the point sometimes and occasional offensive burst have helped the Heat make the Finals in 2020, ECF last year and great chance at ECF again this year
Fans just don't value defense as much as they should, Bam was better offensively last year when he had PJ doing all the defensive dirty work he now has to do. So give the man a break if he doesn't score 25-30 more often
Big shout-out to Knicks MVP Scott Foster for all those late game bs calls
We all wish Bam was more of a scorer. Still, he does a lot to help us win that doesn't show up in the box score. He played more than well enough for us to win last night.
MAN. Watching the game seeing Bam taking multiple naps during critical plays, was frustrating to see. I was yelling at the screen. He's got the length, strength and athleticism but sometimes it looks like he's not giving his 100%
Heat in 5
Long story short, Bam Scary
I was just talking to my coworker about this last night for bam it really seems like a mental thing at that point of him not scoring if he can’t get out of his own head then I’m afraid bam has already reached his ceiling
Bam needs a playmaker to get some easy looks. He's working with the worst back court in the league
Legs is 10000000% correct about Spo, dude is clearly the best coach in the league! Man gets the absolute best from his roster and hides his players weaknesses as well as possible. That Zone helps a lot…
Knicks in 6
Monica Mcnutt can shut the f up 😂 delusional
She don’t know basketball
