Spo sucks. What a joke. He underachieved with this team 2 years in a row. A real coach would have his team get back on defense and have actual offensive plays.

Wonder if Riles has what it takes for one more shot at glory?

Phil Jackson to the heat?

Yes, his strategy of not having his team get back on defense definitely backfired.

Maybe it's the team on the floor not getting it done

When they aren't doing it he has to call a timeout to get in their face and make them. He has to do something. They just jog up the court and Garnett runs straight up the lane and gets dunks on lobs from Rondo. It's rediculous. How can you put up with that series after series all game long? The HC is ultimately responsible. Phil Jackson would not put up with this.

There is just no killer instinct with this team. Only Wade has it. And he is really streaky. He can be hot and cold. Bosh is not an end of the game closer. And he's been hurt. Lebron is about useless in the 4th quarter of big playoff game. Even more worthless in the last 2 minutes. Their 3 point shooters are always hurt. I think the team is a tad bit overrated. They have one guy who is a closer with killer instinct.

stick a fork in em

You are being way too harsh. Lebron was clearly running on fumes the last 5-6 minutes of the game. The amount of energy he is spending to keep Miami in the game in the first half and then on the defensive end guarding Garnett for stretches has taken it's toll on him.

Anyway, I'm a little worried but I still believe they win the next two. Wade can't show up for 24 minutes, he needs to play in the first half. Bosh plays 30 minutes in the next game.

THIS

Wtf? The Heat were dominating most of the game with Lebron taking it to the hole and then all of a sudden he stops? Now Lebron wants to see what the defense will give him when at the beginning he took what he wanted. So cliche of Bron, it's stupid to think anything less of him. Jordan had so much confidence in his J he WANTED to rip the other teams heart out. Lebron seems like he loves being the decoy instead.

Bosh is no where near ready, he definitely looked less than 80% and this series will be on Wade and Brons shoulders.

This coach is gone, it's obviously not his ship and when you can't win a chess game with this many big pieces it's wrong on so many levels. I don't care how many pawns you are down.

The heat are f*cking up, i won't be able to watch a series that has san antonio vs boston, it will be a snooze fest

This. The Heat scored 30 points in the 4th quarter. They lost because they didn't defend at home.

The have a VERY weak front court.

It would be interesting to see how the Heat would fare with a coach like Thibodeau. Would Wade and James be able to set their egos aside and buy into his philosophy like the Bulls do? Watching the Heat from afar, it doesn't seem like these two care very much for Spoelstra..
