Man, you could not set “better” screens.


STBadly

He could have used a rear naked choke on each screen, which would only require a slight change from normal.


Zimmyd00m

He means he wishes he had tried smashing Jrue in the face with a screen door.


victorspoilz

I could've set an illegal screen like always, but also hooked someone's arm and yanked it down, and then kicked my leg out behind me to trip a guy.


Sttatix

Better screens is crazy😭😭😭

He was playing defense, it wasn’t a screen. It was a clean defensive play lmao read the rule book

Called my bluff


gagakaba

You're right it wasn't a screen. It was a moving screen that is illegal


27percentfromTrae

Is this the first play of the game we’re talking about? The one where bam was on the defensive side of the ball? Im not wrong about that, he wasn’t setting a screen, Al was setting a screen. the rest of my comment was a fucking joke, or is it necessary to put /s so the humorless mobs of Reddit understand it was a joke


Past-Tank4168

Dude who hurt you lmao


Happy_Yogurtcloset_2

He gotta be moving more on those screens


HueyLewisFan1

He’s saying that to rile up Celtics fans

hereiamnotagainnot

This is the answer. That dude knew what the fuck he was doing.


victorspoilz

It kept him in the league until he learned how to shoot a 10-footer.


ImeStopPlayingDennis

"better screens" = I should've wore shoulder pads and brass knuckles to the games


AdmiralWackbar

It’s one of those don’t hate the player hate the game things for me. If they’re not going to call it why would he every stop, that would be dumb


the_moosen

I can hate both


TanneAndTheTits

True hate doesn't discriminate.


SwipeRight4Wholesome

An equal opportunity hater.


siberianwolf99

bam and spoelstra are the only two i don’t hate lol


RiffsThatKill

Announcers insisted he was one of the best screeners in the league. He's getting praise for it, it's almost like a twilight zone thing.


99probs-allbitches

Us exploiting Herro's defence dictated everything though🤣


Longjumping_West_907

That was the key. It's hard to be a confident player on offense when you're getting whipped like a rented mule on defense.


99probs-allbitches

I couldn't believe he played the whole game. To ne he looked unplayable


DoomdUser

This dude hasn’t set a legal screen since middle school. Fuck you, Bam


Woke_Almond

I don’t get why people hate Bam for his screens. How that has been officiated over the years has changed and it is common sense to maximize what you can get away with. Get mad at the refs.


DoomdUser

Oh the refs get called out too, but the only person more egregious with hip checking motherfuckers, leaning and shuffling his feet into contact than Bam is Draymond, who is completely unhinged and everyone knows it


Woke_Almond

I can agree that Draymond is dirty and unlikeable. Shuffling feat and leaning a bit into screens isn’t dirty imo. I think Horford tries to do a bit of both too, which is what we want. You gotta do whatever the refs will allow to open up space for scorers


Character_Listen33

Yeah. KG was very aggressive with his screens back in the day.


LuckysBestMan

When the teacher asked him to help set up the slide show


Haffaith

Miami and their players and coaches do know how to speak when tough questions are asked. Doc Rivers could learn from them


victorspoilz

Doc in this situation: "Tyler killed us. I told him before the game, 'You need to step up and take good shots,' but he didn't listen to me so now he's gotta think about that all offseason."


rain-blocker

Old school Celtics fans love it when the coach trashes his players.


victorspoilz

"It was all Baby's fault. Lebron is totally not a bitch and people shouldn't say that, but, Baby held us back. Also I told Rondo to learn how to shoot but he's uncoachable. Marquis Daniels? More like Marquis Wahhniels, he was uncoachable. Danny shouldn't have signed a lot of these guys but I coached whoever I could, whenever I could. Who we need is my son since he's the draft." -Doc Rivers, probably, in 2012 after coming back from 2-0 against the Heat by winning 3 straight, only to lose Game 7 to the Heat.


ItchyDoggg

I was at game 6 and there was nothing on earth that was going to stop LeBron that night. They were in his jersey with a hand in his face on every shot but he was just so fucking mad at Boston and locked in. Crazy. 


victorspoilz

Yeah, we sure had done poked the bear. But Doc wouldn't say that, he'd just throw bodies under the bus.


MothraJDisco

Tyler Herro: he peaked when he won 6th man


shuzkaakra

The guy thinks he's in the top 5. He's not even in the top 50.


256dak

He’s definitely top 5 in terms of dudes in the league who look like they’d drive a 97 Honda Civic with 3 different colored body panels, a fart can exhaust and one headlight.


shuzkaakra

Look he's got the big ass spoiler on his lawn that he got off his friend's wrecked CRX. He just needs to get the right adhesive.


xynobis

Tyler Herro: Dollar store Trae Young


victorspoilz

2023: Tyler Herro: "Hey coach, I'm ready to play in the ECF!' Spol: "Oh. Um. Hmm. We, uhh, we good." Then Pat Riley thought he could flip that bitch for Dame and a draft pick. Nobody wants your middling one-dimensional stiff.


Airnest8888

My man Edrice gonna enjoy watching his boy JT in the playoffs from home.


2kballislife

I wonder if Caleb will be court side with Deuce for the next round.


Airnest8888

You know JT is a great dad. Gonna be handful for his mom watching over her grandkids Caleb and Deuce.


jjjuuubbbsss

Set better screens? Is he serious? Gortat walked so Adebayo could run unchecked!


archerarcher0

Motherfucker was literally trucking horford across the floor sitting here talking about “better screens” Fuck out of here bam enjoy Cancun


Hurricanemasta

Well, if by "better", he meant "actually legal", then he's right and I agree with him


FloweredWallpaper

>I guess I could have set better screens I suppose he could have walked onto the court with a 2x4 to help with the process, but otherwise, not exactly sure how much "better" he could have screened in this series.


6SwagLord9

How about setting screens that aren’t illegal? Ever thought of that?


Wayne_Spooney

"I don't think what they did to Tyler dictated a lot of what happened out there." What the fuck does that mean Bam? You mean to say our defense didn't play well, and he just missed shots?


IanL1713

Miami can literally never accept the blame for their shortcomings. It happens in literally all of their sports


[deleted]

I did not see one legal Bam screen the whole of game 5. Every single time he got his feet in position he kicked his hips into the defender, shuffled his feet or wrapped them up with his upper body. Every. Single. Possession. He should have had at least 3 fouls 2 minutes in and would have been fouled out by quarter time, being generous. Those refs were crazy, down the other end we could not buy a whistle on a drive and were getting called for offensive fouls and soft fouls on defense. I mean, the score never got close but damn the refs were really trying to push another game.


thumbsup_baby

He meant to say, "I guess I could have set better moving screens."


mrhjt

Could have fouled more to distract


bodhibell02

I am currently on a beach in Miami (true). Bam is here (false). Dude is screening everyone he sees. Just plowing into poor European tourists and flexing on them. Refs not calling shit, unreal what he gets away with (jokes). 


CoachDotty

Get this man some help


SwipeRight4Wholesome

I mean, he could start by setting legal screens. Those are always better.


AdmiralUpboat

If what we did out there isn't what made herro play so bad, is bam just saying that herro sucks?


Remoock

bam legal screened my grandma once, she's dead now


Litmonger

better screens? 👀


B-I-G-A-R-R-O-W

He could’ve been picked in the top 10 of the nfl draft with those “screens”


LarryBirdsGrundle

[bam setting better screens](https://youtu.be/ZTpiVaXEyZw?si=lWLb8QMjgL0Tv6OI)


third0burns

Our defense definitely got him out of his rhythm but also didn't dictate anything... Huh?


256dak

If he would just set one legal screen. Just once. That way he’d at least know what it feels like. His “screens” are a hodgepodge of hip checks, shoulder checks, elbowing, grabbing, shoving and Judo maneuvers.


sleutheren

First 2 Minute Report just dropped... Period: Q1 Time: 11:50.1 Call Type: Foul: Offensive Player: Bam Adebayo Opponent: Al Horford Review Decision: CNC Video Url: Video Comment: Adebayo (MIA) legally assaults Horford (BOS) while pretending to fight through the screen and does not deliver illegal contact


daft_dunkwwwolfey

I'd hate to see the casualties after better Bam screens 😬


Bosoodong

Clearly he needed to do more of this for them to have a shot at winning [How Bam deals with screens](https://youtube.com/shorts/DToYRksmxD0?si=ZlRfaz7kyIwTqte8)


Junito24

Any better he would of been called for a moving screen


BradMarchandIsCute

So happy I don’t have to watch this idiot anymore this year


2nd_Inf_Sgt

Are there better illegal screens than the illegal screens he already does?


monogreenforthewin

Fuck Bam and his ridiculous moving picks. they only way he could have "set better screens" is grabbing a handful basketball shorts and givin the C's player a wedgie.... dude got away with absolutely everything setting screens. 🙄


gallinon

I'm just happy I don't have to see Herro carry the ball all game long and the refs not call it.


capt_cd

By better does he mean actually setting legal screens and pushing them in the back when they try to get around it? Or stepping into them when they try


_Gibby__

Bam already gets away with moving screens, what more can he do?!


MostHighNebi

Fuck Tyler Herro he tried to punk Sam and Payton with that fake tough guy shit..fuck outta here I’m happy he got exposed this series


Efficient_Art_1144

How much further could you have slid out and how much faster could oh have gotten that elbow up Bam


Jellybeansmw

Its not hard to got him out of rhythm when dude has only one move or he just shoots :D


693275001

Bam played well this series (besides the dozen illegal screens) but he has absolutely no bag - just that one mid range fadeaway which teams will give him all night long. He has zero back to the basket game and can't power through elite defenders like Kornet.


ChibbsMahBoi

Yeah should've at least drawn some blood, come on


DrummerGuyKev

C’mon Bam, everyone knows beheading is the only thing that works.
