Spoelstra is out after this season

[Spursfan092120]

Everyone counting the heat out. I will say this again. Do you guys realize how tough/impossible it will be to beat this team 4 times in a 7 game series?

You have the best defensive pg in the NBA in Chalmers. He is clutch. You also have two clutch playoff performers in Mike Bibby and Eddie House.

You have two of the best/clutchest superstars in Wade and Lebron.

You have killer shooting in James Jones and Mike Miller.

You have a top 10 pf in Bosh and an underrated one in Haslem.

You have a 3 Centers who provide different things in Anthony/Z/Dampier.

You have a coach who is proven. He did wonders the last few years with little talent.

Since when is Lebron a clutch player?











































































STOP FOOOOOOLING YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I fully expect the Heat to pursue him, but why would he jump to the NBA? He said in 2004 that the Lakers was his call to the NBA, he turned it down, and that was it. He would be at Duke until he retired.

Yeah..I think they'll try for him..but I don't see him leaving Duke either. Too much history there. How do you tell someone you're leaving them after they named their court after you?

Spoelstra I didn't have faith in last summer, but I believe in him more now than ever. I can't believe spurs fans are pounding their chests over this fluke bull win.

Izzo is the college coach they should go after, by far the best Xs and Os coach in college, and he's gotta be considering a change at this point. No matter how much he continues to do at Michigan State, it's a constant struggle for him to bring in recruits. They would be such a nasty offensive team with the set plays Izzo has.

You just made the paper argument of why they should be winning. You actually make the supporting cast sound better which is making these losses worse. Got 'em right where you want 'em, huh? Well, your team is trying and still can't win. This team won't do anything in the postseason. Book it.

[TIMMYtoZO]

yep...

Sorry I am not impressed with your overrated team. Bron getting in foul trouble early? Only 12 points in the 1st? Dude that is nothing but luck. Heat D decided not to show up tonight. If the D had shown up, this game would have been different.

It's rumored if fellow MSU graduate Tom Gores buys the Pistons, he would pursue Izzo. Not that the Miami Heat aren't ahead of the Pistons on that pecking order. I would be too worried that he'd lose what he has in college and be left out in the cold. He's not a guy who massages egoes.

The Heat Big Three are a bag of punk-ass es.

They started complaining about the coach when they struggled early in the season. Never was there any accountability on the part of these players, for their own failings. Then suddenly, all the talk of a coaching change subsided after they went to Cleveland and kicked the crap out of the Cavs, which triggered their extended run. Now they're struggling again, and of course, it's the coaches fault.

This Heat team is because they're ignoring the "elephant in the room". Bosh is a soft forward, that wilts under pressure. James is a great player and triple-double machine, but not a clutch player. There's no way he should have the ball in his hands at the end of games. Wade is their closer, but because the coaching staff is -bent on keeping LeQuit happy, Wade has become nothing more than a spectator, who's forced into a complimentary role.

The Heat pranced and preened around Miami all summer. They proclaimed their arrival and their greatness. They talked about winning multiple championships, but apparently were not aware of the great journey that is required to get there. They mistook the free-agent championship for the NBA championship. Then they acted surprised when they discovered all they had done was place a gigantic target on their backs. You can't talk your way to a le.

The bottom line is this team is flawed and is poorly configured. They can't execute in half-court, they're not great outside shooters and have no rebounding or inside game whatsover. If you let them get out in transition, they're extremely dangerous. However, if you slow them down, they fold. The most telling indictment of the Heat is that they are mentally weak - and you can look no further than LeQuit, who sets the table for mental weakness.

As for Spoelstra, he's probably a goner. However, I submit to everyone that some of this is actually could be his fault. Looks to me that he gave LeQuit too much rope. LeQuit shouldn't be trying to coach the team. LeQuit shouldn't be designing plays to take advantage of the strengths of each player, and I don't know if he did or didn't, then he lost the battle before he started. If he cowered down, like Mike Brown, and allowed LeQuit to run roughshod over everyone, he's was already toast. Despite his massive ego, LeBron needs coaching and instruction. As hard as it may be for him to believe, he's doesn't know every goddamn thing about the game of basketball.

Ultimately, the Heat's underachievement will cost Spolestra his job.

[ChuckD]

The Big 3 will force him out, bottom line.

They will demand a veteran coach with a proven track record.

From what I'm seeing tonight, they don't have any direction whatsoever on the offensive or defensive end. The execution on both ends is falling well short of what should be expected from a team with this much star power and quality role players.

The defense is just effort, or lack of it. How's another coach going to fix that? Are you going to bench the Heatles, because they're three of the biggest culprits.

The people who disliked Bosh and Charlie V's game, do you dislike Dirks too? They are all face-up scorers but for some reason I too can't stand watching Bosh and Villanuevas game. Dirk though is a beauty imo.

just wondering tbh

True his problems dealing with personalities could be an issue with all the egos on Miami, but my personal view is that in the NBA it shouldn't be the coach's job to get the players listening to him (of course it's not that simple). I only suggest Izzo because his halfcourt sets on offense would be nasty with Lebron and Wade.

lol..if you're not a troll, you're an idiot. lol calling 51-11 overrated after blowing a huge lead last night and getting bent over tonight. 8 Spurs in double figures. Our defense made your boys our tonight. The Miami meltdown begins...Bosh/DWade/Lebron will hate each other by the end of the season..book it.

Dirk is pretty good at getting space for some of his jumpers, and those nice runners that he banks off the window. Well, it's like a runner that turns into a fade away. But it helps him get space.

No..I love Dirk's game, as hard as it is for me to say as a Spurs fan. Dirk can play defense. Dirk is clutch. Charlie V and Bosh are anti clutch. Maybe it's because Dirk came into the league as a shooter. We know he's a shooter. Maybe I can't explain it..but Charlie and Bosh irritate the out of me. I love watching Dirk play..except when he plays against the Spurs.
