Game 5 Post Game/Vent Thread

[WiseOwlWins]

i came in to see how many clowns blamed spo for this game. it's a circus in here. im glad ive been a heat fan since i was 5, i dont get as worked up as you guys lol.

[Pimpwerx]

Spurs fans have turned on COTY Pop, so the coach criticism is always LOL-worthy. PEACE.

[MartyCONLONNN]

The worst part is why don't we ever hear Spo take blame for anything...? so often you hear guys like Doc and Pop say "that's on me to put x in a better position to score" etc etc. Instead we get a coach that deflects and says it's actually acceptable that we don't score a field goal in 8 minutes of playing time like we did in game 3. It's sickening.

The guy will never get cut loose either because our talent will always cover his mistakes. Sometimes I forget that this is the same coach who's only experience prior to the big 3 was losing 2 series to the ATLANTA HAWKS yeesh.

On playing in the 4th. Bosh "I felt good. I definitely had more to give"

it was so obvious too

And pop goes the weasel.

Spurs lost 3 straight. They're garbage. By extension I guess that makes Pop garbage too.

And there it is,people.

i totally agree

[CablexDeadpool]

What did Spo do wrong.

Spo has horrible freaking plays, he sucks, he can't even get the team to listen to him.

Lebron and Wade don't trust Spo a single freaking bit because he is just incompetent as hell as a leader.

He just recites crap from sports movies.

He hasn't adjusted to a single thing.

It took 3 games to adjust to the Pacers...now it's Game 5, at home, and you lose...again?

He sucks. It's not like the team is being outplayed...it just freaking sucks.

He isn't running off ball cuts... he isn't playing a bunch of 3 point shooters...he yanks people out of games when they are doing good....

He doesn't play any defenders.

And Pat Riley sucks 2 because he put this crappy Team together.

The entire team freaking sucks outside of 3 players.

Who does that?

Half that is baseless nonsense. Who cares if he speaks in cliches and Spoisms, that's his interview style. He doesn't coach the same. None of those guys do.

What was wrong with the offense? We outscored them in the paint again, got a lot of rebounds and had good off-ball movement. How many missed shots were open looks? Are we at the point now where we blame the coach for missed shots?

Bottle your anger and remember this is just a game. No one loves this team more than me, but I can't let this **** make me irrational. There's always a reason for a win or a loss. Tonight's loss is clear in the box score. Bron had 30. Wade had 27. No one else had more than 9.

People can blame Spo for not playing Bosh more than 14 minutes, but he's coming off an ad strain that kept him out a month. If he got injured and couldn't help us next game, Spo would get even more hell. Bosh might have been the difference this game, but is this really what this series is coming down to...a Willis Reed moment? I want to think we have enough guys on the roster that can contribute, and that Spo dug deep into that bench to give them all a chance to step up. It's loss. Nothing more, nothing less. PEACE.

Lebron went scoreless for an entire quarter...

Wade still can't score for an entire half...

You as a coach know you need 70 points from 2 players...you know your entire team sucks...

And you telling me, that you don't run off ball cuts, surround the Wade and Lebron with 3 point shooters and just run cuts all game...

Why the hell you still running pick and roll with Battier on the court?

Battier can't shoot

Spo should've milked the hell out of James Jones Chalmers and Cole, with short minutes from Mike Miller

And it should've been just cuts all game.

Lebron and Wade pick and roll with shooters

Off ball cuts with shooters.

We should've looked like the damn Warriors...

But this fool runs the same plays over and over and over and over and eveyone knows it.

Why the Hell does Lebron and Wade look like they are defeated already?

If they aren't leading by 15 plus in the middle of the 4th they look like they are gonna lose.

The entire arena knew they were gonna lose...

Hell I knew they were gonna lose.

It's 2011 all over again.

[WadeInTheWater]

I don't want to turn on the TV tomorrow and hear ANYBODY go off on Wade or Bron, what more can they do? I want to hear Spo getting smashed from analysts and i want them to talk about why Bosh didn't play more when he said he was FINE.

We lost to Atlanta and lost to Boston the following season.

So Pop is a terrible coach for losing to the Thunder 3 in a row, right? Scott Brooks coached circles around him, right?

I don't know why I read this forum after losses. I guess I get a bit of kick out of the overreaction. I just don't understand why Spo is the easy target. IMO, it's pretty tough to overlook what happened in the game, and that is a bunch of clanked looks. Boston did a better job punishing us for bad rotations than we did to them. PEACE.

[msg4k90]

I hope miami wins the next game. i thought lebron and wade did a decent job. now imma go on 2k12 and whoop bostons *** so I can feel better.

[WD]

As epic of an homer as I am, it's hard to defend some of the things you saw in this game.

I have yet to see us pressure the ball when fronting Garnett in the post. Such a simple adjustment, making the angles of the passes more difficult, and I've yet to see it. Van Gundy has called this out several times in the broadcast as well, and as former coach you can tell how baffling it was to him.

Little intricacies of the game like that. They bit you in the ass, man.

With that being said, I still believe. I have no choice lol.

sitting here still stunned and how this game was right there for the taking, guess I better take my punk azz to bed.

because u don't lose 3 straight with Lebron and Wade on your team.

There's so much they can do. After a while as a coach you just need to realize you suck.

[GameTime_3]

Why are people not reading the papers tomorrow. I look forward to them. Everything they write is well deserved. Wade didn't get back on D. LeBron disappeared. Spo forgot Bosh was active. James Jones became Joel Anthony. Battier lost to father time. Boston beat us...No excuses! They came to our house and showed us what a well coached, hungry team can do.

[TheDon008]

SO many of you lames are exposing yourselves.

Disappointed. Thought we had a decent amount of REAL heat fans here for a while.

With the amount of HATE that we receive you would think we'd stand together and back our team with just as much fight.

Pimperx... You're one of the only level headed people here.

Everyone else, BACK this team and STFU.

[youngeman]

Spurs lost 3 straight. They're garbage. By extension I guess that makes Pop garbage too.

Coach Pop has an old team.
Heat has the 2 best players in the world. + a top 15 player in Bosh. the heat bench is not bad, its just the rotation from the heat coach are really bad. Joel at center joke. haslem at center joke. james jones plays short min then is pulled out just as fast. Coach Spo is the worst Coach i've ever seen. Jerry Sloan for Heat Coach.

[Carlos4Heat]

You know what's amusing? People who vicariously live through the Heat's opponents,and base their self-worth on whether the Heat fail or succeed.I guess Wade was telling the truth when he said:"When the Heat lose,the World is a better place". ROFL

[DefenseWins]

I just thought of something hilarious

Bosh is basically the most paid I believe, but when he's finally back and he said he's okay, only 14 minutes.

no you play his ass out if he is cleared.

Absolutely is. But I wasn't as mad after tonight's loss as I was last game. We got beat tonight. Celtics made the big shots down the stretch and we did not.

I don;'t know how we answer either. They are simply are more well rounded team. The major difference I see is that they can shoot and we can't. You leave pierce, allen, or garnett open it is 2 pts or sometimes 3. If you leave Lebron or Wade open they will drive. Their D just crowds the paint and we can't hit open shots. I will watch game 6, but I have very low expectations.
