These refs, our bench and coach Spo all need to go straight into the trash bin.

I don’t think Spo is a basketball mind at all. A coordinator that reminds me of a Japanese car maker, they take an idea and make it solid. Warriors Heat are that idea except not as good as the original. Spo learned it and he is holding on as to buy himself time and money as a head coach. Not and innovator and not too bight IMO.

We have enough talent to go head to head with any team just our mismatches and lack of size kills us.

These are games why Butler is not a top 10 player. We could have won if he played with more effort, more passion not whatever he was doing the first half of the game. We had an 8 free throw advantage and couldn't win, that's says it all.

Jimmy is getting his back to back rest tomorrow, and were going to be looking abysmal again....I swear will be 5 games from finishing the season sitting right under .500 and will keep hearing how but were only 4.5 games from 4th seed sitting at 9th-10th looking into the playing tournament.

Lowry Struss and Drob cant all be on the court at once. Only 2 at a time. Man, its said cause as soon as drob steps on that court they hunt him.

Yea honestly he had a good like 4 minute spurt and was in existent the rest of the way. If he’s going to sit tomorrow then I need way more effort tonight than that.

Oh well, let's hope for the Utah win. Those consecutive switches onto Lowry deflated the team. It's like they feel there's nothing they can do about it

Yeah and its becoming more and more normal as the seasons progresses. What will Jimmy look like next year, a little more for the wear, a little bit slower, will he need more games off? what about the year after that? shivvers me timbers its gonna look ugly.

I think what frustrates me the most is that there is nothing to look forward to. We're good enough to avoid the lottery but bad enough to not do anything. It's a treadmill team with no cap space and minimal draft picks. If it wasn't Pat Riley, the GM should be fired and I'd like to see them clean house. It will never happen in this organization, but this franchise is due for a change.

Don’t you fellas think Spo can make it easier on the players?
I mean this is a smaller team trying to guard 5-6 inches taller players. The Heat always plays a style that’s not very efficient at the end and it doesn’t have to be this way.

Dont wanna say Jimmy is done, cause hes still efficient. But his effort, has changed. Its getting harder for him It seems.
