Coming back from being down big, he doesn’t fit. Were the ones who let teams come back after they’re down big.

We also have the 3rd worst offense in February

Coaching written all over

He’s having a rough season for sure

Its really odd seeing the desperation to blame Spo for everything after every loss. Yall don't even feel any shame about saying that this was on Spo because he should have played Tyler to start the 4th, when Tyler had played the whole 3rd? And ended up for 40 min? On the front of a back to back? lol

Yall truly better hope that we don't lose Spo because it's then that you will REALLY see the difference in terms of what great coaching looks like. Especially if we continue to have deplorable work come from the FO as far as roster construction.

Been saying this even before the big-3. Let’s you know just how long fans have been complaining about him. Nvr happy unless winning. Then we win games either say nothing about Spo or complain about something he didn’t do.

We made some fantastic adjustments today to compete at a high level against Bucks. Herro playing all 3Q’s was just one of them. We can’t keep firing the coach each time we’re not happy. We become like every other club & w/ the way people think in here i believe they want Miami to be a mediocre organization every season.

It’s so funny seeing everyone has a certain player, coach, FO executive, etc they defend like I do Bam but I’m the only one that gets chit for it

Ware really sucked with that closing lineup. Niko was making the game easier for Wiggins. Can’t believe he’s going to be out for a while.

i missed that part when he fractured his hand because i was getting some ice cream


how much time do you think he will be out 3 weeks?

3 weeks sounds about right.

I’m not sure about that, I think he’ll be out much longer.

3-6 weeks depending on severity so yes could be longer. See Herro how bad this could be

We have gotten absolutely zero out of our G League this year. Not sure why we are so reluctant to play those guys this year. Stevens should have been getting reps over Rozier at this point. If not cycle his spot out for a higher upside play.

Herro playing the whole 3rd wasn't an adjustment. He has been doing that for a while now, atleast since the Butler fiasco started. The adjustment was to bring him in earlier than usual in the 4th (9 minute mark vs the usual 6 min mark). Still think we are too dependent on him for everything on offense. He has to set everyone up, throw lobs to Bam & Ware to keep them involved, make enough shots to keep the team in it, remain a threat on offense by running around even without the ball since the opposing defense is focused on him, and general be the go to guy. As good as he is, I don't think he can do this consistently. Needs help badly.

Which is where I liked Wiggins' post up game today. It's something that seems like a reliable option even if he missed a bunch today. Hopefully we continue to try and build on that, as we've not had a reliable back to the basket option in the paint since maybe Bron. Butler did, but most of his post ups seemed to be with the mindset to find a cutter, whereas Wiggins tries to score every time.

“One of Herro or bam should have been in to start the 4th” was what was being said and I agree.. sure bam was in foul trouble.. but you start the 4th with bam (who had rest anyway) and you put trust in him to not pick up a quick foul in 3 mins till Herro comes back (after getting rest) and you let bam add to the offense in that time frame..instead of bringing back bam and Herro when we down and bucks got the momentum.. bucks didn’t even have their main stars to the start the 4th.. would have most likely kept the lead in that short time frame.

That 3 at the 2:23 mark looked very smooth! And the offense during the next couple of plays looked very Giannisque I'd love to see him (and Josh Christopher instead of Rozier) get some run here.

[SerialChiller]

Spo's received much more than his share of credit for the team's success over the years than he's deserved. He's been making plenty of horrible decisions the entire time, this is nothing new. Nobody's perfect but he shows a complete lack of ability to adjust in game, a stubbornness that leads to him finally making the right move but way too late (think Chalmers over Bibby for what the last game of the playoffs finally in '11 among many, many possible examples), the small ball nonsense, the head scratching rotations, and the offensive ineptitude. But we're "desperate" for calling out his BS...haha ok there, bout time he finally gets some blame.

He can be critiqued just like everyone else

Christopher went 0/10 from 3 during this game lol. Keshad went 2/6. Stevens i have no idea what’s going on with him. Looks like an absolute waste. Seems like we have dropped the ball with Skyforce development this year. Keshad I do have high hopes for. I think he’s ready to contribute now if given a chance. With Jovic out this is a perfect time

Yep, over the last number of years even suggesting Spo was anything less than the best coach in the league could get you attacked quickly and viciously as if he was above criticism or questioning. I'm tired of it and I've started to call it like it is with him and will continue to from now on.

Other guys need to do something. If we need Herro or Bam on the court at all time, then we're trash. Neither of those guys is any kind of savior. We just have a depth issue. Things would look much better if Rozier and Jaime hadn't forgotten how to play basketball.

Results are all that matter. 3 ECF and 2 finals with that roster earned him the title of the best coach in the league. When it comes to players and coaches I'll take results over opinions. We can all have different opinion on what works or what doesn't. But in the end its all about winning and winning in the playoffs. No coach has won more with less talent in the playoffs than Spo has in the past couple seasons.
Now this season is different. He's having a down year. But he's not even close to be being the main reason we suck. This team isn't good. No coach, scheme is gonna make this team above average. They are just not talented.

It’s a bad roster. Can’t win with 3rd bananas masquerading as 1st and 2nds

We seem to have a Tony Snell on our roster who went 0-3 for 0 points in 22 minutes. That makes me think this is The Tony Snell of NBA notoriety. If so, whyTF do we have him on the roster??
