The Heat don't have a coaching issue, but coaches always get blamed when a team disappoints. Sometimes it's deserved. Not in this case though.
Fans are fanatical. What's Spoeslstra supposed to do with that group? He hasn't forgotten how to coach overnight.

So they have turned on Spoelstra and Bam? I would gladly take both.
Q: It now seems certain that the Heat will finish with the worst record of Erik Spoelstra’s career. Should a replacement coach be found to lead the rebuild? – Wayne, Miami.
A: I remain of the belief that not only does Erik Spoelstra enjoy the job, but he relishes challenges, which are what will come next. For those who believe Erik Spoelstra to be less than fully engaged, go to a game and watch him on the sideline. Then watch him push through his postgame interviews. This is not someone mailing it in. He has remained animated, engaged and passionate. And, currently, hurting.

"I feel like I'm in a dream," he said in the postgame table session. "I manifested and prayed for it. I just waited for this day. I really had an out of body experience for a little bit there. I was like, 'Is this really happening?'"

Yesterday against Brooklyn, these Nets players just decided to keep trying to take it in soft on Myles Turner and he sent them packing four or five times. They’re passing on open Js to take contested shots at the basket, and then the Pacers hit a couple threes. It wasn’t a thing of beauty, the Pacers really didn’t look good at any time during either game. But they eke out just enough to get across the finish line.

If you’re a Laker fan who just paid huge dollars to take your kids, you didn’t get to see LeBron (who will play the next game against the Bulls) nor Doncic w/“sprained ankle management” nor Dame. There otherwise would have been an epic four superstar game on tap.
It just did not used to be this way.
