How hot is Erik Spoelstra's seat?? (if it is...)

My brain says no, but I have a feeling, idk. Whether the fault is his or not, the coach is usually the guy to take the fall. I know this is only there first year together, but its still a legit question, imo. What say you?

Edit: i meant to make this poll public...

My vote is for a warm seat. I think to coach these superstars, making sure everybody gets the minutes, the touches, the points, keeping their ego's stroked while not completely bending over....

I think you need to be just as much a shrink as you do a X's and O's guy. Having said that, I'm not sure who would be the best coach for this group of players (Don't say Pat Riley).

Watched bits and pieces of the first half and all of the second half. Also saw their whole game vs the Knicks on Sunday. Very similar games in terms of blowing leads. With the Knicks they failed to finish the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, quarters. With the Magic they just collapsed in the second half after having a 20 point + lead.

Now, he might be in the hot seat, but I think undeservedly so. Any coach with this team is gonna have great expectations. But it seems to me that when they are winning it's to the player's credit but when they lose it's Spo's fault. I feel like you can't have it both ways.

Last night Wade didn't do anything the second half and LeBron turned passive. They need to keep their foot on the pedal and not let up. I'm not sure if that can be contributed fully that to the coach. I voted warm but I don't think Spoelstra is a bad coach. Although why wasn't House on the floor at the end of the game.

I don't know but I hope he stays. It's absolutely hilarious seeing the team that was supposed to break the Bulls record fail week in week out :rofl:

is this the 4th game in recent weeks where Lebrick has bricked the game winner? :rofl:

I agree with Bosh being a terrible signing. There was a play in last nights game where Bosh tried to lay it up, and got stuffed pretty easily. He looked weak as fug. He's marshmellow soft, and the Heat need a legit big man. I see they got clumsy a** Dampier, but that wont be enough to get them by Bos, NY, or Orl. Shoot, they might have trouble with the ATLiens.

Oh, and I think Spoelstra's seat is cold. If Riley was going to do something, he would've done it earlier or right after the all star break.

i used to be a huge heat fan before they got shaq, i can tell you dwyane wade is the one guy in the NBA who i'd have with the ball late in a game. idk why they keep going to lebron it's moronic and pat riley knows better, mick arison knows better, the heat fans know better, and anyone who knows anything about basketball knows better.

d wade has won playoff games in the clutch he's won an nba championship after being down 0-2.

lebron has choked year after year...

    • Jake in his prime was a gutsy QB. But just like with even someone like Cam. Father time is undefeated. It's very unfortunate we have a guy who is only 24 years old that has an equivalent arm to that. Absolutely blows my mind that our brain trust lacked the basic common sense to value arm talent when making a massive trade with ramifications for years to come. Unforgivable incompetence.
    • Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.
    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
