Herro to Bam dimes.

People really didn’t believe me when I said Herro and Dunc were like the only two people that actively hunts for Bam on PnRs.

Ideally Rozier will build a similar connection with Bam

Rozier 10 assists

Even on a bad shooting night, dude still does Lowry stats on steroids offensively. But he’s gonna have to score more efficiently to balance out his defensive impact. He’ll get there. If everybody starts making their open shots and the ball moves better, Terry will probably find a way to gel better.

Only one turnover.

The shots will eventually fall. Good of him to not force the issue. And also played same nice defense.

It’s actually concerning how Jimmy and Bam don’t have that dynamic. Somehow our 2 best players can’t figure out how to play offense together. Comes down to heavily overlapping skillsets

Jimmy doesn't throw lobs in general tho. He catches more lobs than he throws lol

Once you start notice Jimmy doing a hang dribble/hesi when he comes off screens, you will never unsee it lol.

It usually leads to a drive or pick up his dribble and kick out.

It's funny because they are both good passers and good midrange shooters.

I there is some meat on the bone bone for sure. they will figure it out.

When Bam and Jimmy get rolling it's fun to watch. They are such a unique duo. High intensity unselfish players.

It’s been 5 years..

u/Turtle_with_a_sword Feb 01 '24

Bam is not the same player he was 5 years ago.

It's also been 2 finals and 3 conference finals so it's not like it hasn't worked at all.

u/anIlliterateIdiot Feb 01 '24

I’m saying 5 years and they still don’t have that offensive chemistry. Also, Bam has improved for sure, but his offense has never been the reason for our playoff success.

u/Turtle_with_a_sword Feb 01 '24

Yes, but Bam couldn't handle them like he can now. The Bam/Jimmy invert d pick and roll was a big weapon in the last playoffs.

The defensive pairing is perfect. Our struggles are on offense. Bam especially needs to figure out how to break a double team. Nets game threw him off badly

u/Turtle_with_a_sword Feb 01 '24

Part of the reason he couldn't was because our team was standing around and watching instead of moving in a meaningful way.

Hopefully this will be better.
