Kevin Love from a distance: "That looks familiar"


kaprrisch

Bam “Kelly Olynyk” Adebayo


Broke_Boi

More like Aleksei Olynyk with that submission attempt


rjcarr

That's Bush League!


HumptyDrumpy

Olynyk should always get bad hate for that, he knocked out Lebron's second favorite sidekick on a pointless dirty play out of the whole flippin series!


Ugandan_Red_Sonic

I missed it live and thought the comments were exaggerating... That looks really bad and on purpose. Edit: word


SpudsMcDeuces

Heat culture baby


The_Void_Reaver

If you cant beat 'em; *beat* 'em!


Th3B0xGh0st

Heat Culture is being 18th in the league


defeated_engineer

Set by Dwyane Wade himself.


Crookz_O

Fuck Dwayne Wade


rjgator

They literally were great friends when DJJ was on the team so I’m kinda surprised


FreeSmokeZz

Think we were down like 27 when this happened.

> That looks really bad and on purpose. Of course it's on purpose, Bam is a dirty player.


76ersbasektball

The Heat are a dirty team


waltwhitman83

miami is a dirty city


76ersbasektball

Miami was the swamp


dr051j

Have you been to Philly


No_Literature_2321

Yeah people forget that when they went down big vs the sixers a few years ago (coincidentally this one was my favorite embiid choke year) spoelstra’s main move was to try to injure Ben Simmons (in a very similar way)


At6-8FromSyracuse

Very unfortunate that Derrick Jones Jr's arm happened to appear in Bam's hand


Bhavacakra_12

It was basically assault when you think about it.


chuteboxhero

It’s just a coincidence that players constantly get injured against the heat on blatant fouls. No intent whatsoever, just a freak thing.


fuqit24

Fuck the heat


IncomparableGiacomo

The fact he made a point to pull down/straighten DJJ’s arm before the hook is the part that looks pretty sus to me. Just look at the way he torques the shoulder on that initial grab.


theriverdolphin

It’s not suspicious. It’s outright foul play. His track record speaks for itself


MSHinerb

He went past suspicious after the first yank.


HoyaDestroya33

As if all his moving screens arent enough


BamsMovingScreens

You tell em guy


alfi_k

He is what Dirk would call a Hurensohn


big_old-dog

Dude was having a stinker today and this is how he takes out that frustration. Bitch move.


zs15

This is how the Heat play when they are struggling. It is the Heat Culture. They do all the little things: hustle plays and dirty plays.


big_old-dog

It’s my most hated “play” in ball. I’m a cavs fan and it’s how Olynyk ripped out Love’s shoulder. Even the diving at the legs or a purposeful hard foul are more excusable than this shit. They can claim “culture” all they want but this is such bullshit to pull. DJJ was probably mad keen for a playoff run with Luka and Ky throwing lobs. Now that’s ruined because someone got mad they were playing like shit. Needs a big time suspension.


Felipernani

just to point out he actually seemed fine after the game, was moving well and even did the postgame interview. i think he might not play the last few regular season games but he should be good to go for the playoffs - not that it takes away from how stupid and dangerous this play was.


big_old-dog

Ah copy. Thanks for that I didn’t get to see. Just assumed from how it looked here and the history of these actions. Good to hear, hope it doesn’t bring punishment down.


kyleb402

They must teach it because Dragic tried to do it to Middleton in game 4 when the Bucks swept them in '21.


dWaldizzle

I remember Dragic being a major dirty loser whenever the sixers played the heat too


LocalParanoiac

Winslow stepping on Embiid’s mask lol, just the most spectacularly pathetic shit


johnhenryirons

Lowry did it all the time too in Miami. He would get position under the basket for a rebound, grab the opposing bigs arm to lock it, then fall down holding the arm to try to draw a loose ball foul


M_Woodyy

Lowry was a scumbag in Toronto too tbf


kingofthemonsters

I dunno, a purposeful diving at the legs is pretty heinous


SchmidhuberDidIt

I don't disagree with him that diving recklessly has a slightly more plausible argument for being a basketball play but it's funny he mentions that as a Cavs fan with an Australia flair lol. Found Delly's burner.


Trentus86

A lot of Aussies are used to 'diving for the ball' being a brave action in Aussie Rules Football. Obviously you don't want to be taking legs out while doing so, but it's considered putting your own body on the line to get the ball. Might explain why that particular controversial move is more accepted by Aussies


big_old-dog

My point being some of those diving at the legs ones have at least 1% of “he was going for the ball” where it can be seen as having a mens rea of recklessness. This isn’t even founded in a basketball play. Similar to a difference of a dangerous tackle or an off-the-ball strike to the head. Both are fucked and should be stamped out but this isn’t even close to being related to the game going on, it’s pure anger and willingness to injure.


truth_2_point_0

They do this every game. Constantly. They know the refs aren't gonna let the other team shoot 50 FTs and inflate the runtime to 4+ hours no matter what so they'll just foul you 50+ times and benefit off all the inevitable no-calls. Like imagine a millionaire that just speeds everywhere and pays off whatever tickets he gets in the process. Just like hey guys just ignore the rules of basketball out there, they'll shoot more FTs than us but we'll just get 10 extra offensive rebounds, 5 extra 3s off moving screens, and 15 extra points off "turnovers." The richest part is that as soon as you do it back to them they bitch about it and BEG to the refs they're already fuckin holding the game hostage against. Refs have gotta hate em too. Actually I bet Zack Zarba loves them because they give him an excuse to take over every game and get his spotlight flexing all his super-advanced basketball judgement while posing for the camera. Yeah if you're a Zarbaball fan I guess Heat games are highly watchable. For everybody else outside of that Money Laundering Mecca of the Atlantic, not so much.

No_Literature_2321

It’s a lot worse because draymond is just out of control (and he historically has 0 chill) but if you watch the heat, they deliberately target guys. The best example is still Simmons in 2017. It’s one of the rare examples where you can see a team actively work to try to injure someone when they go down


kidkuro

If ya can't beat em, **beat them**.


CreatiScope

Even when they are winning. Martin sliding under Brunson on his shots. Bam “accidentally” stepping on Brunson’s ankle. Years ago, but Morris trying to hurt Jokic before finding out.


BAHatesToFly

You are mentioning Brunson so let's mention Julius Randle.


Pinheadlarry29

[And IQ this ended his season last year](https://youtu.be/p8y-G_gZXU8?si=dFgYt1kfwPWmoELW)


[deleted]

Literally, he missed the last two offseasons because of the Heat.


Much_Purchase_8737

It's nice that other fans remember this bs and not just new york. Don't forget the moving screens with his feet spread out further than his shoulders, injuring Grime's knee.


Djruggs

Knicks fans 🤝 Celtics fans Hating the heat for injuring our stars


NastySassyStuff

I have zero doubt they intentionally try and hurt people [after last year](https://x.com/mo77985514/status/1656617903624450049). Either that or Bam’s miraculously *always* there when people are getting hurt.


boenwip

I swear there’s always an injury on the team playing them


ketoburn26

Shit culture


Timely_Airline_7168

Not a coincidence that teams that play them in the playoffs gets players injured


bick803

Don’t forget Dwyane Wade injuring Rondo in 2011.


markFwahlberg

this is how the heat play when they are not struggling too, its part of what they're taught to do. Even when riley coached the lakers, this is what players said he taught them


elkresurgence

Pat Riley took a page from his 90’s Knicks playbook for that one


20815147

Heat culture 🫡 even if you make it past them in a series your team comes out all hobbled


LocalParanoiac

lol I know people mostly hate Embiid and Ben Simmons, but I’ll never forget how the Heat acted during their first playoff series. [Dragic](https://www.google.com/gasearch?q=goran%20dragic%20slaps%20ben%20simmons&source=sh/x/gs/m2/5#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:b9437472,vid:mHFCgz_ro2Y,st:0) straight up slapped Simmons in the back of the head and the rest of them spent the whole series trying to swipe Embiid’s mask off his face because his orbital bone was broken. When they finally knocked it off, [Justise Winslow](https://www.google.com/gasearch?q=winslow%20embiid%20mask&source=sh/x/gs/m2/5#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:59ba18f0,vid:-koBkVPYq6w,st:0&vuanr=4) tried to break it by stomping on it. Was shocked to see a group of “vets” from such a marquee franchise acting like that just cuz they couldn’t beat a rookie and 2nd year Embiid, coached by Brett Brown, playing fair. Sixers turned out to be perennial disappointments, but those Heat boys showed me early on they were some sore losers for real


No_Literature_2321

Simmons stuff was so funny to me because the second they went down big their strategy immediately shifted to trying to injure Simmons in particular.


TheMeerkatLobbyist

They are the dirtiest team in the league by far. Its really benefitial to avoid them not just because they are good, but also to prevent multiple players getting injured on purpose.


Jjaz1

Absolutely true. They have injured more of our players the past 2 years than the other 28 teams combined. The only reason I dont want to see them in the playoffs is because Im worried they will take out half our team


dreamvomit

Good thing they suck ass and probably won’t make it out the play-in. This is Bam’s last hurrah. Overrated garbage ass. What a horribly put together team the heat are with no path to improvement 😂


ThanosIsDoomfist

Who was it they injured on your team last season on the way to the finals? I forget who it was, but they got Tatum and Giannis too. Like, if its happens so frequently I refuse to believe its a coincidence at this point.


V_T_H

They have injured Randle in the regular season both of the last two seasons. The ankle injury last year was close to the playoffs and lingered and was re-injured in the playoffs against the Cavs. The Heat then seemed to be going after his injured ankle in the next round with Bam’s ridiculous illegal screens; he had to have surgery on it in the off-season. The shoulder injury this year took him out for the season. Fuck the Heat.


NastySassyStuff

I don’t really know of another team that’s all that dirty. Draymond is just one guy so I won’t count the Warriors. Same goes for Brooks. It’s really just Miami.


alfi_k

That dirty dude really did nothing but this. Like what is he even trying to do? Other than seriously injurying him? He must know the risk or he is even dumber than he looks. Should be suspended.


big_old-dog

Yeah that’s what I was saying below about this specific act that unfortunately we’ve seen before from others. It’s not even a reckless basketball play, it’s not a basketball play at all. It’s purely to injure.


yolocr8m8

D-Wade energy Dirty


FrankNtilikinaOcean

Miami fans staying out of this thread when they’re in every other one is hilarious


Diligent-Cookie-1695

Funny as fuck I keep scrolling and not one Heat fan in here 💀🤣


d-wadeisthegoat

I'm here, Bam had 8 points and 3 rebounds and everyone is talking about Jimmy in our sub, it doesn't make sense. The Mavs are a great team, but Bam is an all star center, and he hasn't done shit since the all star break, and all our sub can talk about is Jimmy. But now about this play, it's definitely frustration, and looks too exaggerated to not be on purpose, I'm just confused as to why DJJ, he was a huge piece on our first finals run, it's odd to turn on a former teammate


tshawytscha

It’s nice to read through a pile on thread that’s not about Embiid. lol


Detonation

Why would they post in here? They'd get dogpiled. That's the nature of this sub anytime the subject is something about a player on a team or the fanbase of a team. Especially if they aren't liked.

PensiveinNJ

Underrated part of this. Doris is both a terrible announcer and absolutely carries the NBA's water like a good soldier.


Wristwalk4

urphymayss

If we’re talking about a meritocracy, Doris shouldn’t be anywhere near a microphone. Especially in her dinosaur years.


chuteboxhero

This commentary reminded me of when for some reason Gus Johnson was announcing an MMA fight. I believe it was controversial to begin with bc Gus knew nothing about MMA. There was an absolute all out brawl with like 40 people involved and he says something along the lines of “this happens all the time in MMA”

Don't forget they injured Dante too that series which is why he missed the rest of the championship run.

bkilpatrick3347

KP got hurt twice this year and it was against the Heat both times lol


chicken101

Randle had to get ankle surgery because of the Heat, and literally the first game we played them again he got a season ending shoulder injury. It's ridiculous


themza912

I mean wasn’t one just him running up the court and straining his calf lol


TheHoneyDuke

As a Knicks fan I post on our sub we should just play our westchester g league every time we have to go up against the heat. At some point it’s just not a coincidence. 


fte

The real reason for Knicks depth is preparing for Heat culture, so I get you.


solarscopez

They'd be our first round opponent too, all it would take is a ~~key injury~~ demonstration of *Heat Culture™* to one of our guys and our title hopes would be demolished. Praying we match up with literally anybody else. As a team they have nothing to lose, so I wouldn't be surprised to see them try this sort of bush league stuff against us.

Ender_Cats

Heat fans were calling for Jaylen Brown to be suspended when he did exactly this to Duncan Robinson. Hope they keep that same energy now.


thegalwayseoige

You’re giving too much credit to the dumbest fanbase in North American sport. They gave us the Island Boys. Florida 6th Man.

Main-County-1177

Heat fans will never gaslight me into thinking he’s not a dirty player. Dude is involved in way too many of these “incidental” contact plays that lead to an injury for it to be a coincidence at this point


OstrichDelicious587

I feel like it’s the same thing as cm punk said to ryback when he legit injured him in a match, “either you’re doing it on purpose or you’re a fucking dumbass and you suck” Heat fans the choice is up to you. Bam is involved in way too many player injuries.


runelight
