Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread for games December 23- January 4th

Spolestra getting out coached and our team out classsed by a 3-23 team at HOME!!! They have the momentum and the energy and the Heat getting tied. The coach is not on the floor BUT DOES DECIDE who is on the floor and when which is something this staff just has not gotten right this season. Lead down to 4 and likely 2 or 1 after their possession.

I'm livid

You....me too.

Spolestra is not very smart....yes the Heat have been playing listless and without energy and careless. So when lead goes from 23 to 15, then you insert instant energy in the form of Ennis and Whiteside. But no.....he leaves Wade and Deng in to get tired and then puts Ennis in with more pressure on him and he makes mistakes....we are still up but this is what kills me about this coach.

Speaking of Whiteside, kid needs to get more clock. I'm loving what he brings to the table when he's out there.

You are the idiot - And wrong again as always. The Heat have been around since 88 and I have only disliked Scrub Battier, Chris Quinn and Beasley during his first stint with the Heat. So, that is not every season - get your facts straight - unless you really dont care about the leve of stupidity increasing from you

Well, there's something we can both agree on. Chris Quinn was TERRIBLE...

What's the purpose of resting Wade so long? Seriously makes no sense

 

[bksballer89]

Why the hell isn't Wade coming back in until under 6 to go of a close game in the 4th?

Not surprised with the horrible body language from our players - when your so called best player always has bad body language - you cant expect much. Spo killed it by leaving Diva in too long and now bringing him in way too soon.

 

[bksballer89]

Also I rather Napier over Cole in the 4th....I can count on him to hit a big shot

WOW....and now this brilliant coaching staff waits until 5:55 left in the game and down 2 or 3 to bring Wade, Deng and Bird back in once they have the momentum.....unbelievable. All to save a lousy timeout. This coaching staff really, really has been disappointing this year. Would we lose to a 2-23 team after blowing a 23 point lead at home?!

Again, I ask - what is so special about playing at home? why is anyone surprised that they are performing like this because its at home? Its not the first or last time the Heat have had such games, this year or ever for that matter.

He has not been on the court......

Both Wade and Anderson should have been back a lot sooner. Spoles always waits until the other team takes the lead.

Totally agree. Coach does NOT get it!!!

 

[Paolo305613]

Just absolutely loving the crying going on in here - Losing this game might actually be a better feelin than I thought just to see more crying

Hope not too late

 

[Paolo305613]

Diva’s first shot as he comes in - a jumper, of course

 

[Paolo305613]

And once again a problem for the Heat is defending without fouling

LOL. You want to see crying...watch Spolestra's press conference when they ask him questions about his substitution patterns. He might make moronic statements about their solid defense. Down 5...WOW.

 

[Paolo305613]

13 turnovers this half - Thats why they are losing. The guys on the court are turning it over - not the coaching staff

 

[Andresrenee]

Why is Granger in there.......another piss poor coaching decision. No Williams....
