The Miami Heat looked poised to get back to the NBA Finals for the first time since their appearance in the 20220 bubble. But despite a few heroic efforts from Jimmy Butler, they fell just short in a home Game 7 to the Boston Celtics.
While the Heat could ultimately be one player away from being a far better contender, they have the ability to improve internally, and one of those ways is helping get center Bam Adebayo to the next level.
Adebayo had a wacky last few appearances, scoring 25 in Game 7 and also having performances of 6, 18, 9, and 31 over the Heat’s final five playoff games.
