  1. Jovic minutes were the worst. Three players that got scored on the most, Jovic, Llarson and Jakucionis. And Spo still doesn't give a crap about his team winning the rebound battle. Mazzulla knew who to attack and gave his bigs minutes. Heat had 18 less field goal attempts than their average of 105 and Spo has the 8th best rebounder in the league sitting on the bench with 9 minutes. 19 point lead slowly bleeding away and nothing in Spo's brain asks if the Celtics 18 offensive rebounds is one of the reasons and 30 minutes of Llarson. Llarson was like an orange cone out there and Boston drilled him. OKC next on Saturday. Heat had it in the bag, but just a couple defensive rebounds short and maybe a one less foul, Jakucionis with 5, and they would have won. Close game. Maybe they'll beat OKC.

  2. In a way I hope they trade Ware. I would rather see him blossom somewhere else than this nonsense. When are we going to start blaming spo for these games?

  3. You can’t keep blaming Kel el Ware😂😂😂stop blaming Ware people Blame Spo and Hero 😂😂😂😂Jimmy said they have no heart ❤️ Spo can not coach a young team yet alone a veteran team with out a star

  4. Spos coaching has been flat out bad these past few years. His rotations and stubbornness are killing this team. Also maybe Ware has struggled here and there but he’s a sophomore and for Spo to treat him like he has been and calling him out in the press conference is pretty shitty. Spo needs to check himself or someone in the organization needs to check him

  5. We should include Spo in a trade for a superstar or just trade all the young ones because he will not play them. He is like Kerr with kuminga.

  6. We kept getting out rebounded but Spo wouldn’t put Ware in the game. Can we please stop switching on screen and rolls every time that happens we get out rebounded. If that’s the defensive scheme put ware in the game so either he or bam can rebound the ball. We getting out rebounded to a smaller team with a 7 foot guy on the bench cmon Spo adapt to change.

  7. Spo is full of shit so what he played bad how many times nicko played like dog water and you still played him but this team is ass on the board to give up a game on defense for what he's a walking double double

  8. Remember the line from the organization before tge season. Were leaning in on our young players. All BS,because team cant or wont land top tallent.
    Your playing pelle and thats it. then

  9. At this point Ware should request a trade via his agent at the deadline other teams would love to have 7 footer that can shoot and grab rebound you stick to your small ass line-up in a league where y'all players dominate sure buddy

  10. Nope. If you watch Kalel play, no one is scared to drive even though he’s a big guy because he doesn’t bring fear to the opponents. The aggressiveness just isn’t there. It’s like he’s just a tall tree standing still.

    He also spends most of his time around the three-point line instead of staying in the paint, where his defender would hesitate to help or leave him because he’s a lob threat. Instead, he’s always outside. That’s why his teammates have a hard time driving to the basket there’s no lob threat, so defenders don’t stay inside. There’s also no real chance for offensive rebounds because, again, he’s outside.

    Spo is doing this because he wants Kalel to be more aggressive and make his presence felt inside so that opponents will hesitate to drive the ball. If he stays in the paint more, he can grab more rebounds and create more opportunities for his teammates. He would also have more chances to score inside, which would open things up for others if he focuses more on rebounding and playing in the paint.

  11. If I could force Coach to watch one video this year… it would be this one.

    Also, I feel like coach is siding with his vets and avoiding shedding some weight at C/F position.

    Kel’el is probably just like everybody else on this earth, believe in me and I’ll do more.

  12. hope that stubborn ass, just looking for a scapegoat, coach hears this. cutting off you nose to spite you face EXACTLY! terrible, terrible leader who is creating a kuminga situation for the future of this franchise. just stupid

  13. bam taking team high 19 shots and still makes less than powell and herro as a big man even they both take 4 less shoots than him. bam has 4 rebounds, 0 in second and third quarter! sconds chance points 31-7. is it ware fault too? that why we lost the game.

    just bench jovic. he is so bad. i just cant watch him play. 3 minutes more for powell and herro and 9 minutes more for ware and we will probably win this game. but not, spo play jovic at center xdddddddddddd

    jovic and fontechcio shouldn't be in this game.

    is just bad couching

    anyway i don't expect much from this team. especially with this coach so i'm not even mad at this situation.

  14. This gimmick spo conjured up only works 50% of the time. All that running around shooting wildly without structure doesn't work on every team. It is similar to the Dolphins wildcat which was sensational until the league caught up to it rendering it useless.

  15. Ware has insane potential but defensively, awful. Offensively, he just goes through the motions. The kid needs to play with more intensity. If he's in the doghouse and is mad because of his lack of playing time, then if you're out there for 8 mins, go out there and play those 8 mins like it'll be your last. We fans don't know what's happening behind closed doors, but based on what Spo, Powell, Bam said last night, it all points to Ware maybe complaining that he's not paying enough. Doing that will get you traded.

  16. He coddles favored players that do not fit his untraditional beta test running system like slow ass bam, glass cannon herro and half step wiggins then he expects the rookies to carry those bums.
