Heat @ Hornets - Today (1/29) at 1pm EDT

[ShulaDon92]

The coaching staff will just say it was about effort

Sunday day game, we were a little off kilter

[ShulaDon92]

I have no worries.

Same deal, we could benefit from a touch more defense and maybe 1 more pure shooter.

The coaching staff will just say it was about effort

The coaching staff looks like as big of a problem as our fat PG.

I just can't explain how a respected coach like Spo can look so bad at his job, Am I the only one seeing this?

At least the dolphins locked down an elite DC in Vic Fangio.

"The Dolphins were 24th in points allowed and 18th in yards allowed." Fangio will be a very welcome change.

Heat Out: Kyle Lowry and Duncan Robinson
Heat In: Vic Fangio’s leftover tuna sandwich

“With this trade you have increased the Heat’s projected wins by 10.”

[ShulaDon92]

I understand these boyz want to blow it up and all but this is a top tier core. Especially if Herro can get going in the playoffs.

These scorched Earth boyz need to eat a sandwich. Maybe a cheeseburger

[Slot Machine]

So obvious that Lowry contract was an awful move as soon as we made it. He is the one of my least favorite Heat players ever at this point. Dude’s entire career is way overrated too - he stuck around for a dog **** franchise in Toronto long enough (after years of playoff collapses) to finally get carried to a ring by a true great in Kawhi.

Strange, we wrote about sandwiches back to back. That was not on purpose. This isn't ChatGPT

Thats high praise.

Cooked em.

Realistically all this talk of auditions will amount to nothing and the truth of all this will just be that they kicked our asses

[ShulaDon92]

We need the Yurtseven back to see where we are with him. So frustrating...

Next time, OP!

After the Celtics win, I said this team goes from looking like more than a first round playoff team one game to a lotto bound team the next. That level of inconsistency is on management. Don’t blame the injuries, this team is basically fully healthy. Don’t blame the talent, this team is maxed out in cap space with players either on their second contract with the team (Herro, Bam, DRob, Dedmon), or already established talent (Lowry, Butler).

This falls directly on the people building/coaching the team. If nothing changes by the offseason, something in the management tier needs to be shaken up. If I were Riley, I would even go as far as to hire established assistant coaches to challenge Spo on a daily basis.

It’s also schematics, we got our star 22 shots the Celtics game and he responded with 30-15. He’s gotten 29 total in the last 2 games combined and at minimum 5 were tip ins he got himself. Spo just flat out refuses to play through his stars the way he should

Spo will adjust it.

What I saw yesterday was Charlotte quick double and deny Bam every time, crowed the paint. It worked ,that was their game plan coming in they know Miami lives and dies living off Bam presence. Our shooters need to step up, too many wide open outlet passes missed/bricked. Bam is just learning to how to be the guy, he isn’t handling the paint crowed the way we want him to just yet. He is behind the curb on that Lesson similar to Herro just learning this off-season how to handle press at the half court. We need to be patient on this regard, the greater his focus on offense the more scouting teams will focus on him. Our back court can’t defend a stationary post if they tried. Lowry and Herro as a backcourt doesn’t work. Our defense is night and day from last year and no it’s not PJ being that monumental of a difference. This needs to be corrected either by trade or by sending one of them to come off the bench.

The backcourt definitely needs to improve, Bam often has to rotate and help out on defense causing missed opportunities for rebounds. I mean 2 defensive rebounds for Bam is pathetic and 100% because of the defensive liabilities on the backcourt. The team to gave up too many offensive boards.

Spo is way too predictable. He replaces guards struggling to rebound and shoot with more guards struggling to rebound and shoot. I’ve mentioned many times that Spo needs to once in a while confuse the other team with a pair of bigs, such as Bam and O Robinson. I truly believe this will improve the rebound on the switch, will force the opponent into a tougher shot inside, and create an opening for either Bam or Robinson. With Jimmy, Herro and Dipo/ Vincent/Caleb, this can be tough to defend and score against IMO.

Next time, OP!

Sorry for going AWOL yesterday. Wow, 5 pages without my running commentary?? lol, I was hoping to skate by I guess
