"Bam Adebayo's record-breaking 83-point highlight night won't wash away 73 games of inconsistent basketball. For a significant stretch in December and January, Adebayo couldn't get past the 20-point mark consistently and struggled to carry the Heat offensively for large stretches of the season."
"While Adebayo's points per game increased this season, his efficiency dropped quite a bit. His field-goal and three-point percentages both dropped (44.2%, 31.8%) from last season, which didn't help his up-and-down offense."
"The Heat have struggled in the regular season ever since their finals run during the 2019-2020 'Bubble' season, despite making another finals run in 2023. Adebayo has been front and center for each of those runs and every other season in between."
Bam Adebayo's season was marked by inconsistency, particularly in December and January, where he struggled to score over 20 points. Despite averaging 20.1 points per game, his efficiency declined with lower field-goal and three-point percentages. The Miami Heat's overall performance suffered, leading to their early offseason. Adebayo's record-breaking highlight night does not overshadow the challenges faced throughout the season. As the team's leader, Adebayo bears significant responsibility for the Heat's shortcomings this year.
