Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo on the season opening loss to the Orlando Magic: “We played bad. It’s not really anything to that. I mean, that’s, that’s as simple as I can make it. It’s embarrassing, especially on a night like this for the Godfather Riley. "For us, it’s short term memory, I know it’s the beginning of the season, but we don’t want to create this as like a ‘getting used to’ thing. For us, it’s win or misery.”
