Game 5 Post Game/Vent Thread

[GameTime_3]

Since when were we such a bad shooting team?

I know the numbers inflated because of the paint points

but I guess it's tired legs...

and our FT shooting even cost us some games. These guy's aren't even forwards (besides LBJ), they just miss their FT's.

But Bosh is our best FT shooter.

I hope to see him actually start and play more, because we need his SHOOTING ability.

We have tired legs because were chasing the Boston celtics ball movement. Our over help Defense is being exposed! Were playing exactly how Boston wants us to play on D. Its a JOKE that noone hasn't called Spo out on it.

@WallaceNBA_ESPN: Wade, LeBron and Udonis could be overheard through training room doors having a heated discussion about breakdowns.

@WindhorstESPN: There's some reasons why I won't get into but Wade & James not going to podium after last 2 losses is not a good look.

@FakePatRiley: Ooookk “@engeljen: Overheard: Pierce on his way back to huddle after draining monster 3 "I got your five, six, seven right here bitches".”

I can't believe the team that we were supposed to end to usher in a new era is about to end us.

'll say this 1,000 times! The key to this series has been our Defense. When we double the ball at the top of the key for no reason, it allows Boston to swing the ball around to the open shooter. Against Atlanta and Philly they played man to man and they couldn't beat the athletic bodys that were in fron of them. Here in Miami were doing all the work for them. But hey..."His still learning and its all part of the process"

PS,
I know this may sound crazy but I'm happy about this series. I realized what the Officals were doing and since I know Spo isn't going any where, I've lost some of my passion for the team. I sold my tickets today and made money. I've never sold my tickets before and I did today. I've never turned off a game before I did game 3. THANK U SPO, THANK U!

Wow, that's depressing.

[Pimpwerx]

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.

bull convenient excuse you built for Pop. Pop's bench >>>>>> our bench. That alone will account for the great regular season record. If you don't think so, just look at the Bulls. Depth gives great regular season consistency. However, Spo's situation is no better than Pops. Not even close. At least Pop can dig into a bench. Spo lost a major player and is still getting production. PEACE.

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.

no offense, but how old are you now, in your 20's?

[DefenseWins]

I knew this series would be our defense vs their offense.

Our offense vs their defense equally sucks, but we've also given them such easy points. In close games, those hurt. Then our FT's... my god.

But so much over playing them, Rondo gets easy looks, KG does whatever he wants. Ray Allen always seems to be open LOL.

Philly made Boston look bad because they defended them well. If Philly made shots, Boston wouldn't be here.

In a way atleast the Heat are getting tested to see if they even deserve to go to the Finals. Last year was a bit of an easy road to be honest, then we crashed at the end.

If they win the next 2 then they definitely deserve to go to the Finals.

Could be a blessing in disguise.We can be too wrapped up in these "games" at times.It's just entertainment,at the end of the day.

The first part of your post explains this series perfectly. Do people know the real reason we're losing to Boston is because of our defensive scheme. If we played them 1 on 1 like the sixers did, this **** would have been over tonight.

[Zasterror]

The only good thing I can say Spo did tonight was playing Norris Cole but he still managed to mismanaged his minutes in the 4th.

[WD]

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.

That's really my biggest issue with him, it translate to the players and they then lack a sense of urgency.........

[LeChosen1]

Spo might as well prepare for game 7 cause the Heat winning the Next game

This is what happens when you ask your team to overhelp and get back to their mans. Ray Allen said it during the game. "We can move the ball faster than they can run". Which is exactly what is happening. Check my game 1 post. I said, we won but they got the shots they wanted.

[Mars]

Duh they loss 3 straight

They are garbage.

we're the pot calling the kettle black, we just loss 3 games in a row also.

How a team goes from winning 20 straight games, with many speculating whether they'd go undefeated straight through the Finals, to losing 3 straight and being called garbage in the span of 6 days is beyond me.

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.

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.

The Pierce thing is fake. The person said she wished he said that.

If we actually altered our defense and played them like the Sixers did without overhelping, we take this series.

I've never felt worse as a sports fan.
