The Heat Culture ultimately got the two points tonight, but the team lacks something important! A particular incident from the evening match-up against the Cavaliers raised questions regarding the Miami side’s locker room unity. Jimmy Butler & Co. did something unthinkable, defeating the in-form Cleveland comfortably, but during the final quarter, an unexpectedly assertive conversation between Bam Adebayo and Terry Rozier left the fans a bit confused on the internet.

With 1:25 seconds left on the clock, the game was already sealed in the Heat’s name as they held a 14-point lead. During the garbage minutes, Adebayo and Rozier had other duties, collecting rebounds. Well, we can’t blame them for playing for their individual stat sheet when the game was secured. That said, it created an alarming situation!

During a defensive sequence near the paint, Bam Adebayo battled Ty Jerome intensely, blocking one of his floaters. In his second attempt, the Heat big man had the opportunity to end the battle with the board. Right when he was about to catch it, Terry Rozier rose to collect it himself. And ended up giving the possession to the Cavs.

In reaction to this, Bam furiously said, “You keep fu—-g up my boards.” On the other hand, Rozier immediately said, “I got 9 rebounds, you already got your double-double let me get my s–t,” (dialogue transcribed by a fan on X)

Unfortunately, despite the heated argument, Rozier couldn’t complete the game with a double-double, checking out with 14 points and 9 rebounds. Meanwhile, Bam recorded 16 points and 13 rebounds. Anyway, let’s find out what fans have to say about the tussle.

Bam Adebayo’s back-and-forth with Terry Rozier cracks up the fanbase: “He should be worried about other things”

At the onset, it looked like the two Heat players hated their guts. But once we look at the scoreboard and the time left on the clock. It definitely seemed like a friendly banter. A fan rightly captured it and said, “They’re up 14 with 90 seconds left and r clearly joking. yall can’t be seriously mad at this rn.” This fan did nothing but burst the bubble that caused a false alarm about the Heat’s locker room situation. At least that’s what this fan believed.

Moving on, another fan had important advice for the 6 ‘1 point guard, Terry Rozier.

They wrote, “Rozier is a point guard. He should be worried about other things lol.” Well, going by the traditional point guard role, Terry should be worried about playmaking and shooting percentages. But these things are meant to be broken. For instance, Steph Curry, who certainly can’t be called a traditional PG, is undoubtedly one of the best PGs in the NBA. So, a PG’s role cannot be boxed.

Another fan went a bit overboard and called for a drastic decision, writing, “Rozier going to be traded this is so dumb let Bam get all the rebounds he wants lil bro.” It’s certainly not an ideal decision to trade a player just for wanting more rebounds. However, Rozier did disrupt the possession when he attempted to collect the ball. Or else Bam would’ve cleanly collected the ball. So, in that case, do you think this person has a point? 

Meanwhile, another fan threw shade at Bam Adebayo, writing, “Bam finally wanna rebound wow.” This fan’s comment looks like he’s surprised that Bam wanted to rebound. If we look at the stats, however, it might say something else.

The Miami big man averages 10.1 rpg while the rebound leader this season, Nikola Jokić collects 13.6 boards a game. While it’s comparatively quite lesser, it’s also a big deal to maintain a double-digit average in the rebounds section!

As a closing note, it’s important to note that the players who were on the winning side looked to stack their personal stats sheet. So, going by a fan’s words, “They’re just having fun lol,” what do you think? Let us know in the comments below.
