Damn....7 games were decided by 3 pts or less tonight.
Gotta make those FT's, y'all.

I would put a $1M ML on the Heat to win tonight if I had the money. Yes I would risk that for less bc I am that confident in the shitty Lakers to lose

You just lost a million bucks

Lets not get too crazy

@bksballer89 I feel like you should take a walk of shame on behalf of your Heat. That's an embarrassing loss

 

[bksballer89]

Down 3 with 3 seconds and no timeouts left and you leave your best 3 point shooter in the back court.

Totally makes sense

Spo coaching been shit all year long and tonight was no different.

Valid case can be made that his coaching cost them in both losses on this road trip.

It’s not my money. I’m robbing a fucking bank

So, the Heat just lost to (according to this board) "the worst bench in the league"?

As I said before, I am used to this.

There isn't a team that play down to their competition this much when the opponent is down their top 2 or 3 guys. This been going on since the Lebron days. Basically happen every year and that is all coaching.

Happened 2 or 3 years ago vs the Wiz who was dealing with some covid/injury shit, happened last year when the Warriors came to Miami, and happened tonight.

Valid case to be made that the refs blew that review and the Heat shouldn't have been within 3 anyway.

Not sure what this has to do with coaching but ok

 

[shopson67]

Grayson Allen taking a shot at someone's junk to help send the game to OT. Human trash,

I'm not blaming the coaching when the Heat pretty much at full strength lose to the Lakers without Lebron, AD and Walker. Players need to get it done.

 

[bksballer89]

Lakers still went up 2 possessions after that poor call because Oladipo missed 1 of the free throws.

Even if you think that call was bad, it was pretty insignificant to the final score because the lakers scored on the possession following to go up by 2 possessions

Post 10,535 & 10,536.

But when your team for years is always play down to their competition when guys are out then it is a coaching issue. As I said before, this goes back to the Lebron days so we are talking about different groups of players that by coincedence is never prepared for an undermanned team when Spo is the coach.

Can't have your best shooter/best clutch player this season in the backcourt with 3 seconds to go needing a 3

 

[bksballer89]

His teams sleep walk through these games every single year and pray they somehow come out with a win

 

[bksballer89]

Defense was ass tonight as I mentioned earlier but bringing back Dedmon in the rotation when Robinson showed that he is the better backup option is on the coach.

Not involving your best crunch time player in the offense for basically the entire 4th is on coaching

It's Spo's fault that Herro had a terrible shooting game?

Leaders demand the ball. They need the coach to tell them to feed their top players?

Herro had terrible 3 quarters before this season then completely go off in the 4th quarter. You can't just take him out of the offense when he is the best offensive player on the team.

Herro wasn't on the Heatles several years ago who dropped these same games with Spo coaching.

If you watch your team enough, you can pick up from early in the game just by the intensity they are playing with if they ready to play or just sleep walking through praying for a W
