I honestly can't imagine how ticked off Brown is right now with Bam's 43 FTAs.

So Bam is hanging out with Wilt and Kobe now? Is that it lol

That game needs to be investigated honestly? They called 56 fouls in that game. Bam by himself shot more free throws in the entire wizards team. I mean, I know they suck but still.

Bam just broke the NBA record for the most free throws made (36) and attempted (43) in a game.

Bam smashed the free throws made. The previous record was 28 makes (held by Wilt Chamberlain and Adrian Dantley).

Wait til Saturday when we play the Wizards and he doesn?t get to go to the line the entire game.

This is how bad the NBA has become.

I think it is more the perfect storm for Bam.

The Wizards rely on a bunch of kids & their centre (Alex Sarr) only weights 200 lbs. Bam is 6-9 but weighs close to 260 lbs. Will Riley was the Wizards starting power forward and he weighs under 200 lbs (despite being 6-10).

If someone like Shaq was playing against this Wizards team, he probably gets 100.

Apparently the NBA refs were a clown show across the board tonight..

The Wizards should fold

That Miami team sucked too.

Davion Mitchell was their 2nd most established player after Bam. Then Pelle Larsson who is a borderline rotation player. Then young rookie Jakuciounus. Some guy named Myron Gardner who I have never heard of before. That was their starting 5.

It was not like this was some strong Miami team that was pummeling Washington. That was a weak team. Washington should be able to compete if not defeat that Miami team.

They had Alex Sarr (only 20min? 28pts in 20min), Coulibaly, Bub Carrington in their starting five. Then their lotto pick Tre Johnson who has talent but major flaws. And Will Riley who is raw.

[Who]

Kobe 81: 28-46 FG (7-13 3P) + 18-20 FT
Bam 83: 20-43 FG (7-22 3P) + 36-43 FT

Adebayo entered Tuesday averaging only 18.9 points per game compared to 35.4 for Bryant during the 2005-06 season.

Watching the Q1 now ...

Alex Sarr is giving as good as he is getting early on. Good battle between him and Bam. A Sarr 13pts vs Bam 16pts in first 7min. Then Bam hits a 3 to force a timeout. Sarr comes. A 19-13 pts edge then. Some post ups, some drives, some 3s, dunks. Variety.

Alex Sarr is dribbling the ball up court quite a bit. Strange sight. His defense on Bam is terrible. He can't cover Bam one-on-one. Bam is driving around him too easily. Bam is out-muscling him in the post. A Sarr picks up his 2nd biting on a pump fake. A Sarr's team defense is dreadful too. He is never in position. He wants to help protect the paint which gifts Bam his last 2 threes. I don't mind that so much. I care more that he is in terrible position whenever he is near the paint. Not in good position to provide help or to recover back to his man. Gives up so many easy opportunities to the opposition. His defense is dreadful despite his shot-blocking numbers.

Vukcevic is in now to defend Bam. Bam hits a 3. Looks like Vuke will be too slow to defend Bam on the perimeter - for outside shots or for drives. 22pts in 8 min for Bam now. Yep, drives right around Vuke on next possession for a layup and one. Vuke with a lazy reach in from behind foul. Vuke can't cover Bam. Bam now tied with LeBron with most Q1 pts in a quarter with 25pts. Bam airballs a step back 3. Then drives right by Vuke on next possession again. Misses in the lane. WAS lose the ball. Bam misses 8 foot jumper.

Steal by Bam, coast to coast, fouled. 2 more FTs. Bam breaks LeBron's Q1 pts record. LeBron also had a 25pt Q3. Both are highs for any quarter. So now Bam has the Heat all time record for pts in a quarter. 27pts Bam. Bam hits a pull up 3 in transition. About 3 feet behind the line on the right wing. Vuke giving him space to shoot. 30pts. Misses a catch and shoot 3 top of the key. Bam turns it over next poss but WAS can't run a fastbreak - turnover. Vukcevic hits a 3 on next WAS poss. That might be the 1st good thing he has done in his 5min on the floor. He has been terrible. Bam offensive foul hitting Vuke to the ground. Another turnover for Bam. Bam makes up for it on the other end with a block to deny a layup triggering a fastbreak layup for MIA on the other end. Vuke and Bam fighting for position. Both guys banging each other. Foul Vuke. Bam 1 of 2. Bam 31pts.

WAS 2nd unit was terrible = a small guard named Sharife Cooper. Then Jalen Hardy, Justin Champagnie, Anthony Gill, Vukcevic. Champagnie and Hardy are below average bench players. The other 3 guys are all 3rd stringers to non-NBA talent.

Q2 ....

Bam rests to start Q2. MIA no backup center with K Ware out. Tallest MIA player is 6 foot 6 = Jaquez + Keshad Johnson. Larsson 6-5. Sorry, Fontecchio at 6-7. He is the tallest. Then Dru Smith as a 6-2 combo guard. So a tiny MIA 2nd unit. At least they have some legit NBA talent with Jaquez, Fontecchio, Dru Smith and Larsson. So their 2nd unit is clearly stronger than WAS 2nd unit despite having no size or interior presence themselves.

WAS now playing Anthony Gill as their center with Vukcevic back on the bench. Will Riley and Justin Champagnie at forward. Tre Johnson and Bub Carrington at guard.

Will Riley is like Jordan Walsh in his rookie season. You can see the talent as a defensive playmaker / stopper but right now he is a deer in the headlights.

Bam back in. Thank god. WAS bring A Sarr back as well. Bam immediately draws the 3rd foul on Sarr. Offensive rebound, pump fake, Sarr whacks him. WAS have looked devoid of talent without Sarr. They need to keep him out there. They should have Sarr defend someone other than Bam. Protect him from more fouls. Next poss, Bam beats Sarr easily on the drive for a layup.

Bam has a quick trigger on a bunch of these 3s. Fires up another from the corner after 1st pass on offensive set. Clank.
