I wish I knew what the Heat did during practice? Do they even run plays or shoot free throws?

It confuses me when Erik Spoelstra calls a timeout, draws something on his clip board, and we end up running an iso and getting nothing out of the timeout. It's gotten to the point I'd rather not have the Heat call a timeout so they don't have to listen to that idiot of a coach.

I thought this was going to be "Bad Coaching vs Bad Coaching", instead it's been "Very Bad Coaching vs Bad Coaching"

4 Simple Basketball question.

1. Why can’t we pick out a guy on defense and guard him for most of the game. Switch COMPLETELY only if that man is burning, instead of constantly switching and over helping. Wouldn’t this give each defender a chance to pick up tendencies instead of constantly being exploited and being out of position?

2. Tell me how expanding the rotation hurts us? The lame excuses for not playing additional players in THESE FINALS is unacceptable.

3. Why do we sub players when they are scoring or are on a scoring or impactful role?

and last

4. Is ANY rest for our stars not an option?

So many mental mistakes on defense and weird offense at times. This needs to all be cleaned up by tomorrow night, everyone needs to be on the same page.


my god our offense is a MESS!!

and Bosh playing defense on Fischer? WTF?

Jesus Christ Coach Nick literally exposed Spo's lack of "coaching."

That was just an example of Spo outcoaching himself. Just a poorly coached game...ugh am so tired of this coach man. Win or lose he's gotta go. He abandons the defensive scheme that got us here and has us switch everything?

Spo gunna Spo. How is Scott Brooks looking like the better coach? Our only hope is if the big 3 go nuts.

There has to be some way to get Spo to read this. Somehow.

2 more questions?

5. If Cole played Russell and scored 0 points and fouled out, what do we lose? - IMO - we get RUSSELL a little tired and maybe just maybe a little frustrated. If Ronny or Joel played some minutes forcing THEIR centers to expend some energy, and each fouls out, how does this HURT us?

6. Why is most of the pressure on what MORE the players(Wade and others) have to do and so little pressure on what MORE this coaching staff do? still getting over Joel playing 2 minutes.

We need to come up big.PLEASE LEBRON, WADE GO INTO GOD MODE.HIT YOUR JUMPSHOTS.

One thing that bothered me about the 4th Q is KD was getting wide open looks, whereas every time Bron tried at the rim, he literally had 3 defenders swarmed around him. That's a time when having a jump shot could be really useful. Somethings got to give.

Whats funny is for bottom of the barrel I wanted Greg Stiemsma signed last season from the D-League when he looked like this & I got ridiculed for proposing it.

Same went for Pachulia when he was a free agent.

Anyone sees the Wade bashing thread on the GB lead by Bulls fans? :lol:

These guys are on a mission to tear down our players/organization/city. I think Bulls fans hate us more than New Yorkers now.

I truly hate Bulls fans more than any other fanbase. Their forum on here is such a joke, look at all the posters rocking OKC avs/signatures.

What a **** joke. Just like those NY Jokers. How **** pathetic. It's so funny to see the result of what happens when your team does not get a marquee player in free agency. You spend the rest of their time tearing them down however you can because they don't feel like being in the shadow of Michael Jordan or whatever their reason for not signing there may be.

Their hate is dillusional, and over the top. They constantly take our guys quotes out of context and take shots at our players and organization. But wait, that is not enough, they find reasons to bash the city of Miami ways to make it seem like Wade or LeBron is on Sterioids. They think Wade is a **** father because of that bull story that came out in 2009 after Wade's restaurant chain/agreement with that German guy fell apart.

They constantly say that our city is filled with douchebags, trashy, and it looks like a dick/tumor/pimple sticking out of the side of Florida.

Their hate is irrational.

Every year they will have an avatar of whoever the best team in the West is.

Let's face it, they aren't getting out of the East, nor are they getting past us. We run the East!!!
