Bam Adebayo is struggling with confidence

Jimmy Butler has been great in this series for the Miami Heat. But, other than Jimmy, there haven’t been many other bright spots for the Heat. Specifically, the most concerning has to be Bam Adebayo and his lack of offensive confidence that he’s shown through the first two games.

Through the first two games, Bam has only attempted 10 shots. TEN. TEN. TEN! That’s unacceptable for the team’s “other” max player. I know Bam is a defensive-first player, but let’s remember that he averaged 19 points per game during the regular season and 22 points per game against the Celtics two years ago in the conference finals.

If the Heat is going to have any shot at stealing a game in Boston other next few days, they’re going to need Bam to shake out of this rut that he’s currently in.
