And, once again - FTs a problem -- but, yeah, blame the coach -- don't hold the players accountable

The kind of foul you would expect an old and washed-up Wade to make because he can't defend

As E-Reid points out - this fell apart after the Goran technical - but, again -- blame the coach - don't blame the players - they are innocent

#greatcoaching. Making those great adjustments at halftime of an elimination game. Having your best player from two seasons ago regress and alienating him to the point of him having little value for the franchise.

Mentality is a reflection of the coaching staff.

This fell apart once again after Spolestra addressed players at halftime. #groundhogday.

Now that this game has practically been decided - I expect Wade to go off and score in bunches now - when it barely matters.

He gave me another BS! Yes! Heat Championships or finals pre-Wade - zero. 3 Heat Championships post Wade. Spolestra 1-4 in playoff series minus Big 3. Facts. Not Fiction. Do Heat lose by 20 or 30? Do they have magic left?

It mattered when he avoided the sweep clown and made it respectable at home. #greatcoaching.

Cant wait to see what the giant pussy says post-game about his "lack of playing-time' and ignoring his lack of production, energy and desire in this series. As usual, I expect him to throw the coach and his staff under the bus while taking no responsibility for his uselessness in this series.

Might have to change K.O.'s nickname to butterfingers because the guy can't seem to keep a rebound in his hands that doesn't go for a turnover and/or points on the other end

Embiid putting an exclamation point into the fact that he was by far the best starting center in this series

Great decision going with Bam in 4th. Lost game, lost Hassan and lost season.

#theyletgooftherope. Only the Big 3 could hold the rope for Coach Spolestra. 1-4 in playoff series minus Big 3.

Why do you keep bringing this up? How many of those series should spo have one with the talent he had?

I would say he only missed out on 1 series.

08-09 vs Atlanta- Probably should have won that. Came off an MVP like season from Wade if I remember correctly.

09-10 vs Boston- This was right in the midst of Boston big 4 days and we only had Wade. Never stood a chance.

16 vs Toronto- Didn't have Whiteside and another player if I remember correctly and we pushed Toronto 7 games. Probably would have won that series if Lowry doesn't hit a prayer in game 2 to prevent Miami from going up 2-0

18 vs Philly- Pretty obvious Philly has the better and more talented team.

You would have a point if the Heat were favored in any of these series but they weren't because all those years excluding 2016, we had a crappy roster to make a playoff run.

You are making my point. Easy to win when you have the best player on the planet and two others than our top 20 but when we have lessor talent then we lose. Spolestra’s team should have beaten the Hawks and we should have beaten the Mavericks in the first championship series. Otherwise, he does what his talent dictates. Overhyped coach.

Wade ruining a chance for the Heat to make a run by unnecessarily taking a 3 as only he would

The Heat need to get rid of James Johnson - overrated in every sense of the word - he is a scrub and just a thug - no business being on the team.

I hope a sixers player stands up to him at some point in this game if not at the end -- they really need to punch his ass out of existence already.

What coach is winning playoffs series without stars?

You're not winning 4 of 7 when with zero stars when you're facing a team with multiple stars

I'll wait for you to list all these coaches who won with no stars vs teams with stars in the playoffs.

The Mavs series was completed on Lebron. He folded like a cheap tent

He brings it up because its the only ammo he has to support his baseless anti-Spo/heat coaching staff narrative. He is incapable of analyzing a game beyond this - the guy is a troll.
