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...

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
