Easily the 3rd best centre in the league and top 5 big man (C/PF included).


Easily, and 2nd best when the postseason comes around.

He’s at about 75%-80% of his final form

Love Haywood, his hustle and defense are elite. He’s 3 ball is very good and his floater is as well. He will soon be better that the PJ we had if he isn’t already

Just want to add as well; Bam is doing all of this while also averaging a career high near 2 blocks per game. Really seems like he wants to make a statement this season. The knock for him not winning DPOY has been the lack of blocks he gets (compared to other big man like Gobert, Jackson Jr., AD, etc. etc). Well, so far this season that cannot be used against him.

I know elite potential when I see it brother, that’s why I’m stuck in my ways when it comes to him.

He’s still got a long way he can go, this should’ve been a 35 point night

That middy was just so auto tonight. They weren’t easy look either, he had a hand in his face, fading left or right and still money. Capela is no slouch defensively either.

Proud of the work Bam has put in to that jumper. Still would like to see him pull the trigger on some more three balls, but I’m loving the development of his game and mentality this season.

JJJ fitting right in, I was wrong on him. When he becomes a 38%+ 3 point shooter he’s going to be an elite role player.

A little too trigger happy for me tonight but he’s learning

28 year old Bam is going to be an absolute monster. Jimmy will be 36 by then and probably on his last legs.

That's when the reigns will truly be passed to Bam. Wouldn't surprise me if he logged in a 25/10 season around that time.

I dunnooooo...seems he can be more than an elite role player. But baby steps like you've charted here; get that 3pt% up and continue getting better. Love his IQ.

Honestly give Jimmy the night off tomorrow. Think it was just scheduled rest tonight as he was at a concert last night but you never know.

Let’s see if this group can do it again tomorrow.

Spo or someone had an interview this off season talking about how important draft picks are moving forward under the new salary cap...it was eluding to the fact you can't keep dudes as easily has you could in the past...you need those picks to reload the roster. At least that is the way I took it.

No telling what the long term plans look like.

I love Caleb but he’s expendable if JJJ continues to get better, Highsmith has helped that as well and Cain can always be insurance on top of that.

Between Duncan Lowry Martin Jovic and picks we can really bolster the roster but I won’t get my hopes up.

I feels like there is a buzz to this group, getting Waiter's 40 game stretch vibes or Yurt fill in game vibes. no telling if this group can keep a run like those teams did.....but it would be fun to watch.

I am all for seeing how far JJJ can keep his focus this sharp, see how long Bam and be the alpha. That is time well spent to me.

Let this crew lead and see how far they can take us, it is an investment in the long term goal.


Some one earlier said JJJ might be more then a role player....dude might be....dude might be...only one way to find out. At least JJJ has a legit feel for the game. Lots of really good players dont seem as natural at it as JJJ seems to be.

I am not even gonna pretend to be some amateur NBA scout, heck I seldom watch anything but Heat and Skyforce games....but to me JJJ has some Jimmy in his game, but also showed some of that Luka hesitation to throw off the defense. We have watched a ton of young players with size try to Lebron down the lane like this is the NFL..... JJJ has some vision, and some feel for where he is on the court. Dude is nuanced. There is something there for sure.

Heck yeah, let these guys roll again. Let's watch Bam and Lowery lead the young guys.

yeah amigo... I was thinking of you as Bam kept gobbling up rebound after rebound. I knew somewhere you were smiling.

Bam is playing his ass off on both ends.

good win against a hot team. JJJ was impressive and Bam living up to the hype.

I don't know. That seems like a bad matchup to me. But who knows.
