Game Thread: Miami Heat Regular Season Game Thread For Months Of October and November

[Andresrenee]

@bksballer89 I don't mean this in a bad way -- but I know the troll is your boy but don't encourage his ass when he says nonsense -- let him disappear and this board will be a better place. I prefer trolls from other teams than her at this point. Cant wait for this season to be over - he will be gone for sure when his boy Wade is gone.

Nonesense. You are delusional. Still think Spolestra is a great coach? Comical. Decent coach but not great. Lebron And Wade made him look good just like Lebron made Lue and Blatt look good but we continue to talk up ours.

I don't think it is about not caring about defense but it is more about these new rules pretty much doesn't allow you to play defense. If Miami dare try and play physical then this happen. Lots of BS touch fouls that are not called last season.

Its just one of the baseless things he says to push his baseless narratives - its best to not respond.

We cant get too caught up(good or bad) about what occurs on a game-to-game basis and for the season, this season is clearly about " one last dance" a reemphasize on winning and the team concept will again be a thing when the Heat finally turn the page on this era.

Good, bad and every thing in-between, its only game 13 of 82, there are many more story lines yet to be written on this season for the Heat.

I think we both clearly know where this team currently stands - no need to make much of any one win or loss.

No matter what - cant let trolls keep us from enjoying the season as we see fit.

Not a big Spo fan either but he is considered a top 5 coach by the experts.

Spo made Wade #neverforget #tieyourselfuptoarope

And Wade even acknowledges this himself.

They thought Lue was good too before he got fired with no Lebron. What has he done without the Big 3? Seriously. Check his records and playoff wins without the Bog 3. Not anything to write home about.

And interesting that someone on here continues to be critics of a guy who got them 3 championships and who without this team is 0-3 and all at home.

Where would Spolestra be without him?!

Comical. Wade went to a Final Four while Spolestra was watching videos. Wade went to his old coach when he was struggling with the Big 3. Wade helped bail out Spolestra with Lebron. Spolestra lost this team the Dallas series. The Big 3 and Riley brought the titles to Miami and none of the 3 titles are possible without Wade. #justavideoman

This is a star/superstar league. You usually don't win with at least one on your team. He did a great job when he had multiple stars. Teams aren't usually successful without any.

We agree. He waisted top 5 player Wade. Did not win a playoff series with him back in the day. Did he really do a great job with the Big 3? He was 2-2 in the finals. He did what most would have done with that talent in my humble opinion. Lue is proof. Spolestra was outcoached in the Dallas series.

I blame him for the 2008-2009 series vs Atlanta. That's a series you kinda have to win with Wade but then again, the team surrounding Wade was pretty trash. It was literally Wade and a bunch of mediocre/washed up role players. The following year he did a great job. Won 47 games and was a top 5 seed. Just got a bad matchup. We were never going to beat that Boston team who ended up going to the finals and losing to the Lakers in 7.

He wasn't outcoached in the Dallas series. Lebron choked. Simple as that. If the Lebron from the finals in 2012,2013, and 2014 show up then we beat Dallas in 5 short games. Dude Lebron had 8 points in the 4th quarter during the entire series.

We can agree to disagree. Do you think Lebron just forgot how to play? Or perhaps, his coach did not push the right buttons. We lost and Lebron learned but I wonder if that was truly necessary. All Spolestra had to say is you are the Alpha and we want you to win it for us and stop deferring. Did not happen. They both learned.

Lebron was never known for being great in the playoffs at that point in his career. He was looked as a guy who chokes at the biggest moment. It wasn't until 2012 when he became known as clutch in the playoffs. So to answer your question, I don't think Lebron forgot to play and I don't think it had anything to do with Spo not pushing the right buttons. Simply was a case of the moments being too big for Lebron at that moment. Just like they were in all of the previous postseasons at that time in his career.

Was going to comment on how well the Heat are attacking - then Hasan takes an unnecessary 3

 

[Paolo305613]

2 early fouls for Hassan

 

[Paolo305613]

Shabazz Napier sighting

Foul trouble for Heat Big Men

 

[Paolo305613]

+16 after 1 - lets see what kind of momentum the Heat can build to take into the half despite foul trouble for our big men

 

[Paolo305613]

A bad way for Hassan to pick up his third foul
