Part 9/15:
However, this style has growing pains; the team has taken a high volume of mid-range shots with limited success (just 4 made on 11 attempts against the Spurs). Defensive strategies like going under screens force their guards into contested pull-ups, which they are currently struggling to convert consistently. The key is balancing aggressive attack with disciplined shot selection to avoid inefficient early-offense shots.
Bam’s shooting remains inconsistent—despite his early season success from three, last night saw struggles as he shot just 4-13 from deep. Nevertheless, Bam’s offensive contributions, paired with his defensive impact, keep Miami competitive. The team’s investment in big men who can stretch the floor is promising but requires time and improved shooting consistency.
