What more did Spo need to see before he realized it might just not be Nikos night? Missing everything and not even exaggerating he was being attacked every time on defense whether they were going towards the basket or moving the ball catching him lacking defending the 3



Well...half the team is sick or new..... soooo

This team sucks plain and simple. Doubtful any of these young players will amount to much either. The Heat are now completely irrelevant.

Why ? Butler was a massive loss for a mediocre team. Everyone should have expected this. Against elite teams they are going to look bad.As I keep on saying if you are mad its on you. This team is bad so fans should have 0 expectations. The rest of the season is to see how the young guys can handle more responsibility then in the summer you figure out a direction.


32-8 in any quarter is unacceptable. This is after the same **** happened against the NETS the other night, what was it...29-9 in the fourth?


It is a bad team. They're just doing what bad teams do. I don't much expectations for them, thats why I am leaning towards a full rebuild in the summer.

Idk, I don't have a problem with Spo sticking with Niko (unlike Rozier). It's part of the growing pains of having young guys - sometimes you just have to let them play through their rough nights and hope they learn from it. Ultimately, who cares? We aren't a better team than OKC anyway, even if we managed to beat them tonight.


Yea at least with Jovic you have that to fall back on, there’s no excuse for Terry. And I get the development part but gotta find a way to win this one up 21, starters should’ve played massive minutes in the 2nd half. Seemed Sporadic, no pun intended.

Would’ve been a great feel good win and we need one right now badly

So Spo being Spo. This is one of those with all due respect but Spo cant be this dense and stupid. We are not a lock for the playoffs. Secure our slot and then do whatever experiments you want, do all the adversity, cumbary, hold the rope bs after we are assured a playoff slot. Right now we are driving that Heat Bus off a cliff with these unforced errors. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Lack of leadership/alpha on this team is pretty obvious

Spo definitely sends the team into a tailspin with his decisions.

So you play a guy who is visibly sabotaging the team single handedly? Just stretch Wares minutes out more

I hope so. I legit think KD will be a 20 PPG scorer on very good efficiency through 40 lol. Would love a guy like him on the team, an all time great who eats sleeps and breathes basketball (and is Ant favorite player with several connection such as Kyrie rumored to want to play with him again). Does this guy even have a life outside of basketball?

KD cant get a better PHX team into the playoffs and he gonna make us a contender. Pat needs to retire. The FO has lost objectivity. They are too focused on always competing for now. Instead of the larger goal budling a perennial contender. KD at his current age needs to be a team that's close in order to put them over the top.

I’ve stated it already but Spo is the best coach in the world to me easily, he’s been making some really questionable decisions this season though

No old guys with large salaries on multi-year deals. Especially guys who miss half the season. I don't care what their name is.

We have a better overall supporting cast and the Suns are like 2-11 when he’s out, that’s the only reason they’re not a sure thing playoff team right now.

Perfect, KD will take that bargain 2026 contract to reup with us as he and Bam go full force recruitment to get us another star in FA or trade

We had a great 2.5 quarters.. went away from what was working all game, not just the gameplan but also away from the line up that was working.. our defense was non existent in the fourth, like nothing resembling the effort we had in the first half showed up in the fourth..

Free throws was a problem.. wide open treys missed was a problem… herro playing like dog **** was a problem..

We need to build from the stuff we did in the first half if we want to succeed this season..

Rozier and duncan can stay home and **** their pants for the rest of the season..

If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

I have absolutely no idea who Fault it is we lost and how we lost ... I think it was kind of random ... All the players where under Control and their team was going nowhere

okc Didn't have a cause to fight... the Game was dead in the water

We had them !!

4th quarter....in 2 minutes everything turned around

Lack of experience by us?

Return to Miami Heat
