Spo needs to go!
I actually hope we trade Ware at this point and he balls out somewhere else so everyone can see how far Spo’s head is up his own ass. Never seen this shit in my life bro what a fucking weirdo.
Spo has been pissing me off lately
Bam is a bum. what the hell did he even doing the second half against a Celtics team with no good center… awful
Spoelstra won 2 titles 12 years ago with one of the best teams ever. Why is this guy untouchable? Why is he above criticism? Unbelievable stubborn and petty. Multiple teams have won championships since who fired their coaches a couple years after but Spoelstra is set for life in Miami?
Shut up Spo!
i like Spo, i understand what you mean that you have to adjust to the talent and lineup of the other team BUT why not make them adjust to you instead? Just play Ware pls!
Honestly ware did play soft when he was in there but I’d still give him some minutes ahead of jovic in second half but this game was lost on Boston second chance points
Ware got 5 rebounds in 9 minutes why do we have to also rely on him to score?
where is the Jovic criticism ? he got paid to play like a wasteman
I was frustrated not seeing Ware get back in the game. But I get that I'm not there and don't know all the details, and that its challenging to play guys with a deep roster. Buut. There has to be situations where Spo can communicate to Ware in the game to tight'n up while giving him minutes. Not be prideful when we're continuing to get out-rebounded just to prove a point. I see plenty of guys get beat off their matchups. Didn't like when he took Tyler out after he scored the quick 8 points in less than a minute either… Gotta let guys ride their wave when they have it going. A lot of games I've seen how hard it is for guys to stay in rhythm because of what seems to be predetermined rotations. Gotta be able to adapt in the flow of the game. He knows this and should be better.
what the fuck does stacking days even mean? what a load of BS
Spo is a clown! Bad rotations and goofy lineups. Can we trade him to Charlotte for picks😂😂😂
Ware had multiple double doubles in a row and you strip his minutes. Thats on YOU Spo. You killed the kids rhythm. Where was the same mindset when Bam was playing horrible? You let Bam play through it but Ware gets called out time after time. Put your massive ego aside and let the kid play ball
sFOOLstra overated coach. Blaming Ware always. If You dont Like The kid trade Him and He'll Be Good somewhere. Why blame BUM Hes the Captain but hes playing Horrible for many games. Its your coaching that Cost this Game what kind of Coach that allowed other team to score lay up after lay up and without any rim protection and rebounding thats Foolstra there legendary overated.
Ware isn't the problem! Spo refuses to address the elephant in the room. He will do whatever it takes to protect Bam and Herro
What happen and why is it, you don't trust Ware. You need bigs to protect the rim. Olats na naman. 😢
I’m starting to question Erik’s coaching. You are being out rebounded and you don’t play your top rebounder? Ware needs minutes spo, stop with this small ball bullshit. It does not work. We have not won anything with this small ball shit. Trash ass coaching.
free kel'el man!!!
SPO getting on my ever lasting nerve wit this Ware situation… he looking for a excuse to trade him knowing we all want Ware to be in Miami. Spo is bugging out for real…
Spo u make me sick ur the weapon formed against the heat its like ur sabotaging the team
Spo now i see why ur overrated ur best years were when u had lebron wade and bosh if u dont have a full star team u cant win legendary coach my ahh unjus had legendary players
How bout u make some plays for ware how bout u help the team spot him under the basket wide open
Play poorly to get more mins???spo u hatin on your 21 year old future hall of famer . Drop did the same thing to Beasley
Thought I’d never say this but fuck spo just clean house bro, this dude full of shit Jaime was pure trash last yr and he never called him out not once, jovic is a walking garbage bin and he never calls him out but u call ware out and this dude wen given minutes absolutely balls out, the shit just makes no fucking sense and y tf is no one calling him out on this shit
I don’t think I’ve ever disagreed with you @tobin but ripping into Spo is pointless… he’s the best coach in the league and he’s forgotten more about basketball than any of us have ever learned. Every time Spo calls out Ware, the kid comes roaring back.. because this is what works to motivate him
Miami fans are tired of spo with his small ball bullshit and how he is handling kelel Ware.. Ware looks like the best player on your team and instead of you uplifting him and finding ways to make him a bigger part of what you do as a team you find every reason to bench him and blame him for your poor coaching
Everyone responsible but you Spo. It’s time to hang it up
Spo not excuses You did not adjust and were outrebound badly everybody knew but You keeping your narrative alive not excuses jovic over ware You sucks
You play kelel 9 minutes but continue to play Niko and he does nothing but chuck up threes make it make sense why are you so in love with small ball thats why teams come back from 20 point leads we get out rebounded when that happens
Spo if u throwing Ware under the bus for poor play then u need to look at yourself in the mirror for poor coaching. Not playing players in certain situations and not being true to your own statements. I've bn saying for the last few yrs it's time for Spo to go. Spo ain't popovich he choked with poor coaching in the jimmy era and now it's continuing. How do the heat for the last 3 seasons struggle in the 3rd or 4th quarter and blow leads after lead, the players have changed but still getting the same results Pat has to see it's the coaching
You guys are lost in the sauce for spo its not about right now its about the big picture which is to compete come playoff time.
Trade ware you not gonna start him!
Ware is better than Jovic. It's time to trade Nikola

Bam—33 minutes, 4 rebounds. Ware—9 minutes, 5 rebounds. 'Nuff said.
Jovic trash 😂😂😂
