1) Bosh is as inconsistent as he been lately. These 11 points and 4 rebounds game in addition to the 3 and 4 threes he now take isn't cutting it.

2) They continue to use this 2 PG lineup with 2 shitty point guards in Chalmers and Cole

3) If the bench rotation continues to include Douglas, Lewis, and Cole. Battier, Beasley, and possibly James Jones should replace them.

4) If this asswipe we have as head coach cannot make the simple and obvious in game adjustments. For example when your bench has combined for 5 points through 3+ quarters, you go to other options on the bench such as Beasley, Battier, and Jones

This game tonight was pitiful. I'm so disgusted right now with that shit I saw tonight.

Only positive is that Wade did not miss a beat outside of his ft shooting

Yea really not sure what Spo is doing.

I assume players are earning their minutes in practice and Spo is being really stubborn about that. It makes sense.

Probably not a big deal. This game was far more important for the Hawks. I doubt Miami really cares if they have the #1 or #2 seed. At worst, they have HCA until the ECF. They just need to get to the playoffs healthy.

I think their biggest enemy is going to be fatigue. Trying to get to 4 straight finals is no joke and they've been asking an awful lot of Lebron most of the season. The guy is an amazing player, but he's still human.

I never liked Spo as a coach. His rotations are shitty and his adjustments suck.

If he wants the team to stop settling for so many 3's Beasley should play over Lewis because that's all Lewis does. At least Beasley attack the rim and sometimes shoot mid range shots.

Why is BOSH channeling his inner Glen Rice these days?


He suddenly morphed into a 3 point shooting addict.
The HEAT need to stop that immediately if they want to win a title.


Bosh is fully capable of being a dominant low post offensive and defensive guy.
He has the talent and resume to be a 2-way in the paint guy. He is very good at it.
He can play down low if he wants.....it makes no sense why go elsewhere....


I have no idea why Coach Spo is letting him jack up all these 3 point shots.

Neither do I.

Out of my 4 things on the list, Bosh ridiculous amount of 3's these days and the fact that Douglas, Lewis, and Cole are now apart of the 9 man rotation is what makes me sick.

While I agree with a lot of what you guys are saying, and not making excuses because they knew when the schedule came out what they would be up against, but have you considered?

1. They have played 26 games in 44 days which included 7 back to backs and during that time from only once ( March 7-8) having more then 1 day off ( 2 days).

2. From March 18-31 they traveled 9 times because the 2 home games they had during that time frame lead to road games the next night/ game.

In spite of all if that combined with their early season not giving a shit, they are still in a great place to appear in their 4 th straight Finals because the East is so weak.

Can they win it against whoever comes out of the West?
Who knows?

I know one thing, if 4 years ago someone would have asked me if I would settle for 4 straight Finals and win 2 of them, I would have said sign me up.

If Wade can stay healthy, it will still take quite an effort for any opponent to beat this team 4/7.

Spo tries to make his adjustments and rotations so complex that he ends up out coaching himself some times.

I just question if theres enough shots to go around for the big 3. in my opinion bosh throughout there 2 championships was kind of the odd man out of getting the ball. maybe a big game about once a series or so. in tonights game LeBron took 22 shots. wade took 14..chalmers 10.. basically in the past wade and LeBron scoring was enough to get by. not sure what it is but doesn't seem they are getting same production out of bench and role players as last season. lebrons high assist games seem to me more and more rare...not sure if its better defense or just these guys aren't making shots right now.

I think Rio could be trying to move up the food chain and get some of Wade's touches even though giving Bosh the rock where he likes it seems so much smarter.

I hope they win it all and Spo is fired. The adjustment to Wade being out is so fucking obvious, WHY THE FUCK IS HE NOT DOING IT???!!!!!????

If Spo wins his 3rd straight title, how's he going to get fired?

Common sense...:laugh3:


In all seriousness I have been a pretty strong supporter of Spo but lately he seems like he is balancing ego's too much and being a little stubborn with his rotations or something.

I see no way that Spo gets fired and even if he were I really do not see any even current coaches that would be an as good option at HC.

O ye of little faith...

i wish my fellow heat fans would step back from the ledge for a minute. we are fine. team is healthy.. at worse were the 2 seed in the East. Two of our three titles came from the 2 seed. Relax.

spoles is a fine head coach. he out coached doc rivers in the ECF two years ago. he then moved battier to guard ibaka in the finals and battier goes ballistic behind the arc and the heat win the title. last year he inserts Mike Miller into the lineup in the finals and Wade all of a sudden comes alive with better floor spacing and miami beats the Spurs in 3 out of 4 games and Spoles coaches the great Pops under a freaking table. How quickly you guys forget.

Miami is fine. We are going to win the East.. and my money is on us beating OKC in the finals. but i will worry about that come June.

If our bench includes Douglas, Lewis, and Cole all getting significant minutes we aren't going anywhere

Spo isn't getting fired. As much as it pains me to say it he's been pretty successful but I just mainly hate his substitution patterns. His best coaching job was somehow winning 47 games with that 2010 team which just included Wade and a bunch of mediocre players. He has now made the playoffs in his first 6 years as Head Coach
