Spo: "We tried to play their game, instead of making them play ours"

He is bottom of the league in 4th quarter production recently and cant get his head around what the problem is.

Dude probably doesnt own a mirror.

I agree with this.

Its insanity at this point. Hes brain washed himself.

Im all in on drafting Maluach this year. Force him to play a true center all game.

All this finger pointing at Herro but he gave us a four point lead with less than a minute left. We lost because we couldn’t secure defensive rebound after Brunson missed a three. We get that rebound and then Knicks have to start fouling.

Herro took shots he’s been making throughout the season. He was most def one of the reasons we lost the gm but the kid’s been a positive for us & winning us ball gm’s all season. Take him away & we’re lottery bound. You learn frm it & move on. Tyler won’t go backwards frm this.

It’s a shame as both Bam & Herro were cookin’. Not sure the negativity towards Bam this gm - he showed toughness & confidence. A contrast to the latter part of the season. I’ve been Loving his gm. We’re a diff team when he plays w/ aggression on O.

This is true, but come on. Some of those shots he took were a dagger...for the other team. He was bad tonight. It's okay for us to say it. He's been the sole, consistent bright spot on the team this year until Bam finally started to look good the past month. He will have off games, just gotta learn from them.

Yes, there are Heat "fans" who are jubilating that he had a bad game, but actual fans are just telling it like it is.

Tyler is who he is. Same as it ever was.

Herro especially needs Ware out there as it gives him a release valve for all the pressure he receives. Just throw it up to Ware.

Spo is unclutch as a coach.

Herro's best ball came early in the season when Ware was barely playing.

On a side note it does feel like the team is getting better. Knicks are a tough tough team and top 3 in the East so can’t really sweat this one too bad especially after stealing one against the Pacers. Need to take care of business tomorrow. Hopefully Ware’s good to go and nothing pops up from tonight’s Robinson incident.

yeah...this....


I think the 4th qtr declines over and over and over are just telling us how close we are. Everything is fine until the 4th qtr and the lack of a legit PG/set up rears its ugly head.

The team spent the offseason rebuilding an offense that never really had the expected players on the court...we got PG issues, we lost Jimmy..... Hell we saw Bron-Wade-Bosh flail around in the beginning ....it should be no surprise our mid-season rebuild is taking time to settle in.

I am impressed, and looking forward to next year. Tank out this one, get the guys we want in the draft, retool the roster with parts that fit and lets go.

Vry fresh, positive take far removed frm the group think within this forum.

I do think it signifies us getting closer but i also believe the collapses have been a coaching thing…..not strategies, rotations etc but have always thought Spo himself lacks fight & that lack of aggression frm him spreads to the team. Fish rots frm the head down as they say. Bam, although playing brilliantly, doesn’t exude fight & grit. The hugging & friendliness towards opponents is so far removed frm Rileys philosophy of being fierce competitors & not to schmooze w/ opponents.

Herro was feasting with Ware there to help. What did they have, 4 alleys first half? Thats something you can lean on so when the Knicks decide to really press Herro (which is what they and everyone else has been doing) then you have more options for our offensive hub, not less.

Something can be said too about Bam’s offensive emergence that seemingly go hand in hand with Herro’s decline in performance. It’s like we can’t jointly get the best out of our “stars” on any given night including when Jimmy was here

Spo can't highlight everyone at once. He has to rob Peter to pay Paul.

I thought Ware being iced he was hurt & reason why he wasn’t being played. Since this wasn’t the case im confused why we went away frm what made us compete at a high level this gm. Ware was a problem for Knicks. He made everybody’s job easier & opponents job harder.

Spo needs to be coached up in these situations that strangely keep happening. Nobodys perfect. He needs to develop too.

Man... Brunson just cooked Highsmith and Mitchell.

Yup Brunson with a lot of help from the refs. Man can't be touched.

I really hate Herro’s decision making in this game. Can he stop doing a run up 3? I don’t know if that’s what it called but herro has the tendency after rebound, he would spirit to the other end of the court and jack up a 3 when there is 21 seconds left on the clock. He almost never made any of them

If he doesn’t check back into the game in the 4th we win pretty comfortably

Spo wanted to close with his guys and that's fine but he can't expect to win focusing on just bam and herro within 6 minutes to go. Playing 2 on 5 ain't it. Need to find a more fluid way to close out games.
