Most of you threw in the towel at halftime. I have nothing to apologize for. Igaf.

For sure dude respect. I used to be like that as well, even today when I said I was done watching at halftime I still couldn't help but watch the 2nd half anyways haha. But this season's team has really made some of us jaded. The frustration is real haha, I don't have faith in this team. I did until the losing streak before the allstar break and then I finally accepted this is a wasted season. And even then I had some hope after Love and Zeller but it quickly evaporated again.

You were here when we had Waiters, James Johnson, Tyler Johnson, Hassan Whiteside, and Dragic. You really think this team is worse? It's not.

It honestly is when you look at it in the big picture. At least Waiter, James, Tyler Whiteside and Dragic gave it 100% every night. Sure they might not have the talent buy they gave it 100%.

Then you look at our team, sure we have more talent but we are bipolar and emo being led by Butler who for a good part of the season is "hurt", then when he's healthy has a major "effort" issue. When you combine both of those factors we are looking at someone putting effort around 50% of the season tops, the team follows its "Leaders" and what's why we are worse. Thats why this team, this version, this level of leadership is disgusting to watch. We are capable of so much more but we dont care and it clearly shows . Thats why this team is worse.

I wrote a long response but then decided your observation only merits a stupid gif.

Skipped the 2nd half, came back to see the starting PG had more missed shots then points, nice.

As fans who follow this team we support no matter what. We don't cheer only when we're winning. The ones who stick around when things are tough are the real ones. We navigate our way through our issues, work the numbers, figure it out & sooner or later we will get to the mountain top again. In the mean time this is a process. We're one of the most successful teams in the league. Wouldn't want to follow any other team.

Didn't watch the game. Strus had 20pts, 4 assits, no TO's, no PF's....how did he manage to -23?

Yurt should never play unless its situational

Did he even play?

Because - + stat is misleading

He came into the game the last few minutes after the game was lost.

Zero leadership. If it wasn’t for Wade, Bron, Bosh and Jimmy, this guy would have a career just like Fizdale…

Every head coach needs star players to succeed.. thats like saying if Phil Jackson didnt hve Jordan/Scottie, Kobe/Shaq.. if riley didnt have Kareem/Magic. What would they be?

Dont get me wrong..

Theres things i dont agree with spoelstra.. the main thing i dont like is the lack of adjustment to his rotation.. he has committed to these are the exact time on the clock that so and so player will play/check in.. and we cant win like that, not with the lack of talent we have.. if theres a close game, butler, bam and herro have to play 10-12 minutes in the fourth i dont give a ****, thats why they make the money they make. To close out the close games..

Instead we are giving them extended breaks.. all the damn time.

I also definitely dont agree the big roles he has given to roleplayers.. the only players you draw up a play for is butler, bam and herro.. everyone else, get open, set screens.. you dont call a time out to run a play for **** Strus..

When it was Bosh James and Wade.. everything ran through them.. we didnt run plays for Mike Miller or Chalmers.. or **** Turiaf..

But then again, comparing that three with Butler Bam and Herro… maybe isnt fair.. Bam and Herro are not in that league, Butler is.. but they both get paid much more than the big 3 did on the Heat.. so our expectations are set.

with all that said i also understand Spo hands are tied.. our team really isnt that talented.. Herro wouldnt start for any contending team..

Thanks for your post!

Minutes played:

Derozan: 41
Lavine: 38
Vucevic: 39

Jimmy: 32
Bam: 34

Why the fuxk are those 3 guys playing more than Bam coming off a 2OT game last night and being in the 3rd game in 4 nights? And why is Jimmy not pushing nearly 38 in a must win game for standings?

Why is Spo taking Bam out in the 4th when he was literally dominating both sides of the ball? It was followed by a quick 6-0 Bulls run and killed all hope of a win.

Spo is an all time great coach but he’s been HORRIBLE this season. Not good, not decent, not average, not bad, but HORRIBLE. Someone needs to ask him the tough questions.
