Social media is tearing up the Miami Heat All-Star after their recent loss to the Boston Celtics

Miami Heat fans are understandably unhappy after another loss, this time to the Boston Celtics.

If social media is any indicator, Heat fans aren’t just unhappy with center Bam Adebayo. They are full throttle angry with the all-star big man.

X users (formerly Twitter) cheered on Adebayo after Monday’s 108-89 loss. Despite scoring 15 points, Adebayo managed only six of his 18 shots. He also recorded eight rebounds and five assists.

Miami fell to 9-10 with the loss.

“The Miami Heat are NOT a good basketball team,” wrote X user @spoburnerr. “The roster is not a good fit, Jimmy Butler is past his prime, Bam Adebayo has regressed offensively, Tyler Herro’s points are just empty calories and this team is mediocre and inconsistent.”

Adebayo entered the break shooting 2 of 10 from the field. He missed both three-point attempts in the first half.

Adebayo is averaging 15.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists. However, his shooting percentage of 41.9 is by far the worst of his career.

“Heat Nation, have we been caught up in another Hassan Whiteside max contract situation?” one user asked.

One X user joked that Adebayo — who is under contract through the 2017-28 season — won’t be in the NBA much longer.

“Bam Adebayo you are a Shanghai shark,” wrote @kodaksdeadflies.
