ASK IRA: Did Bam Adebayo shrink in big Heat moment against Cavaliers?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:54:15 GMT

Q: There were 69 rebounds in the game against Cleveland and Bam Adebayo had one. Cody Zeller, who wasn’t even in the league this year, had eight. Kevin Love had eight. Only two Heat players didn’t get a defensive rebound, Bam and Gabe Vincent. Jarett Allen had 12 for Cleveland. – Anderson.A: I truncated this question a bit, because we get the point. But this also is one of those things where if the Heat would have made one or two more shots, Bam Adebayo’s lone rebound hardly would have been a talking point. But I do agree that your best players have to be at their best in the biggest games. Some silly foul trouble by Bam kept him from doing that. But if you do choose to take such measure then take measure after Friday in the rematch, when it is now clear that there has to be more from Bam. Somehow, this season has found a way to bring some of the worst out of Heat players at all the wrong times.Q: Ira, how does Jimmy Butler go to Los Angeles on Tuesday night ...

That’s all they can do,” Zelenskyy said in an online statement.The war has largely ground to a battlefield stalemate over the winter. The Kremlin’s forces started targeting Ukraine’s power supply last October in an apparent attempt to demoralize the civilian population. The attacks later became less frequent, with analysts speculating Russia may have been running low on ammunition. The last major bo...
