I don't see a coaching change shrinking those minutes by much, if any. When it's a collection of scrubs and no major threat manning the middle, those are flaws that are going to carry no matter who is calling the shots.
Pop is not a great offensive coach at all. He's a great defensive coach.

exactly. the video is well made but it'all bull . There's nothing wrong with those two statements. The coach is trying to figure things out. The big 3 have underperformed a little but the bench has been atrocious. A subpar bench is to be expected with 3 superstars but they have to hit wide open shots. This Heat team is no where near a finished product. The bottom-line is they need to work for each other.
anyone else think lebron looks skinny as this year?
Well, I am not going to crow because I have stated already, I don't really care what the Heat do. However, I did say they wouldn't beat Boston, now they have to figure that out by playoff time and hope like they get HCA. I don't think the Heat can win 60 games this year. As I stated before, they probably have to lose in the finals before they can win it all. Also, I don't think the Heat can count on using the MLE to attract talent every year as has been stated. No one worth their salt will want to join up and go ringless. Chances are the Heat won't ring and the bog 3 all opt out in 2014 when they can.
Has the bench really been one of the major problems though? Has it been great? No. But I don't see it as more of a problem than interior defense and the stagnant offense. Udonis Haslem, Eddie House, and James Jones are averaging 24 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists on 47% FG shooting and 46% three point shooting. The bench is contributing.
It's the interior defense, transition defense in some of the losses, and the lack of a fluid and balanced halfcourt offense that is hurting them more than the lack of bench production.
Miami's bench is currently 12th in the NBA..I'm pretty sure that should be sufficient..
I think he lost weight as well. I remember one of the games earlier this year one of the commentators mentioned Lebron weighed 270 and was as big as Karl Malone. Couldn't believe what I was hearing.
LkrFan - you been killin this lately...keep up it dude...and Harlemheat, Miamiheat, and the rest of dem fake ass Heat fans got a hot pan fried egg with extra salt all over their face...LeHype will get Coach Spoelstra fired. Just like Shaq with SVG. This time around I think Riley is too old to expend the necessary energy to coach this team. I could be wrong but I just don't see Riley at his age going to the bench. When he does, and he fails, then what? He'll let Spoelstra take the heat (no pun intended) and continue to advise from the FO. I saw him in the stands last night taking notes. No doubt he will be in all of their ears - probably as I type this.
But even he can't save this team. I say they should trade RuPaul for more pieces and start Haslem in his spot. I'm sure they can get a PG and a big body willing to protect the yard for RuPaul. Then again, based on his ty play this year I'm not sure anybody would want this SF who masquerades as a PF and allows a PG to dunk on him.
Who complains about having played "too many minutes?" Better yet, Who openly questions his coaches' decision to play him (and DWhistle) too much through the media? Pure comedy.
No ...I can just see Kobe saying:
"Gotdam Phil..Dam I'm ing playing too much I'm shooting too many shots and I'm taking myself out of the ing game. I'm tired as "...
Lebron and Wade are selfish for shooting 5 3 pointers each. They are not 3 point shooters. They need to focus on what they do best.
I still don't see a semblance of a half court offense for the Heat.
The problem I saw initially with Lebron and Wade is that they have both been ball dominant players their entire careers, but if they are to play together then neither one can really do that too much. They desperately need a good PG to setup the offense in the halfcourt and keep Lebron/Wade from holding onto the ball for too long.
That being said, their biggest problem is defense. No rebounding, no rings. With James+Wade on the perimeter they are certainly capable of playing some suffocating defense, but they desperately lack interior size to compete against teams with quality front courts.

So on one had you say WoJo is an idiot and should be killed and then on the other say he's a basketball savant who should proudly display his internet medal.
HarlemHo actually admitting his takes on Kobe are bull ! PRICELESS!!!!
My takes on Kobe are always backed up by facts, as is everything else I say..that doesn't mean they aren't biased, since I obviously hate the guy..
Wade and Lebron have been fine together, that's the least of their problems..
Miami's D has been in the top 5 so far this season, and they've been an above average rebounding team..
What's funny is that you predicted that Miami's frontcourt would be fine..
Miami's problems are exactly what we said they would be when Harho, MiamiHeat, Ace and company were off rambling about les and running roughshod thru the NBA. They have no inside presence and they will get torched by teams that also have quality point guards. There is no way this Heat team comes out of the East although I certainly wish they would as they would be a much easier out than Boton.
Miami's interior D problem was acknowledged by all of us..
It's also way too early to write off Miami..if Boston is healthy, then sure, but the odds of that are pretty slim IMO..Orlando has almost no chance, since they matchup poorly and are looking like they're starting to collapse..nobody else in the East stands out..
Only thing aknowledged by you was that Brons balls fit in your mouth and the Heat would dominate and leave the NBA in its wake. And come june... I am sure a lot of reminder quotes will surface as you take your walk of same out of the forum for good.
44 mins is too much! What a friggen pussy Lebron is.

We did say the Heat were going to win the le, looks like we're going to be wrong, although it's very early..

Everybody obviously acknowledged Miami's flaw inside the paint, it was the only apparent flaw coming into the season..most of the other predictions from people here, particularly Laker fan, were wrong though..
LOL
The Heat are too talented.
as I said before, they are only at 50% strength. The offense is garbage right now and they are missing Mike Miller.
The Heat will win the championship this year.

You have no chance without a decent big man.
We have one. His name is Chris Bosh.
He's a CAREER double digit rebounder.
Just cause he's struggled in some games this season, doesn't mean he isn't going to gel and get back to his old self.
Haters are taking this 9 game sample size and running with it LOL
