Miami Heat: Why isn’t the Butler, Adebayo connection stronger? | Five on the Floor



Something stuck out Saturday: Jimmy Butler kept feeding the Heat’s starting center. Except that center wasn’t Bam Adebayo, who was injured and out. It was Cody Zeller. Why doesn’t Butler have 7 assist games to Adebayo? Is it play style? Scheme? Or something else? Ethan, Brady and Greg break it down.

  1. After listening to this why not try Tyler at pg? For all the crap fans love to give him he far and away leads in assists to Bam and is close to leading in assists to Jimmy. Our 2 point guards in Vincent and Lowry are close to the bottom. Strus has more assists to bam than either of our starting point guards. That is a problem!

  2. So you guys just did an entire episode on how Jimmy and Bam don't fit together. This isn't year 1. This is year 4. So wtf do you insist every rebuild be around a core of 2 players who don't fit together? In order for miami to win a ring one has to go. Otherwise we are rebuilding solely around Bam for defense which turns him into Ben Simmons and we see how that works out

  3. Dwayne was great with Bam with the pick and roll. Bam and Jimmy needs to work together, because Cody was putting Bam to shame.

  4. Maybe I’m wrong but could it be that bam started thinking his 💩 didn’t stink after he made it to allstar?

  5. zeller shoots better and from different spots. bam shoots from the same spots on pnr.jimmys man can guard bam better than zeller

  6. really love bam. however with his physical gifts he should have already been a giannis – unstoppable around the hoop. instead he's now out there thinking he's demar derorzan in the paint. though i love that he can make those now, DUDE SHOULD BE DUNKING ON ANYONE TRYING TO GUARD HIM. dude has serious case of butterfingers when catching passes. though we've seen him bring up the ball as well. so i think it's mindset. there just isn't enough dog in him. SOFT. we ain't winning with this version of bam. and jimmy can't wait any longer. imagine embiid in his place last year. we probably would've won the chip.
