First!
Spo should get Pat's job when he decides to retire, if anything.
No way. The Malone situation was toxic over there. That's not the case in Miami… Spo is here to stay
David Ramil looks that demonic goat from Drag me to Hell
spoelstra is the most overrated coach. he won because of wade. wade brought the talent not riley. He was the best coach the heat wouldn't be a play in team
Spo is not next
Soo 💯 percent has job security. Recently signed a new contract for 8 years. lol Spo got his contract even when Jimmy didn’t.
Also! You can’t fire Spo when it’s the front offices job to get the players. Spo is doing the best he can man. Honestly I think he’s one if not the best coach in the NBA.
It's funny how three of the last five nba champions have fired their head coach (lakers,nuggets, bucks) and we gotta wait til pat retire for spo to go.
Retire pat.
Let's go heat.
Spo would never get fired
No no no
Coach Stays in Miami
spo gets way to much respect and his stars love him so no way. plus spo hasnt been that bad. if he had superstars maybe. but he doesnt
Leave Spo Alone
They gave Spo massive contract last season and this season he "Screwed the Pooch" calling phantom timeouts, over playing Scary, losing more double digit losses than any other team in NBA…And I for one am tired of him pissing off All Stars to the point that they want to leave (Lebron/Butler)…I wouldn't be surprised if Spo's next
Replace him with who? Yeah hold that thought.
Trade for the Joker
Come on man!!!
I know we in that click bait but stop that shit! Spo gonna be around until he’s Pat age!
Yall need to stop.
Bam defense dont equal wins, its overrated.
He needs to score in the 4th qt damn it.
Especially when the 3s aint dropping.
Bad organizations go through coaches easily.. the Heat are a good organization. Spo will go when he wants to
Overall I think spo is a solid coach but let’s not forget Spo is 2-4 in the finals and 1 ray allen shot away from being 1-5. He inherited the first super team in nba history and it wasn’t exactly smooth sailing. How much credit does spo really deserve? The jimmy era you can argue spo had the hottest player in the playoffs for at least 3 of those years.
Where spo really shines is the blue collar & journey men players that he can get to play like all-stars on any given night.
Spo’s not the greatest at in-game adjustments, he will constantly let a single player completely torch us instead of taking the ball out of their hands via traps & doubles.
Young spo frustrated me to no end. I think the bubble year is the year I saw spo really take a leap into top tier coaching. He was really pulling all the right moves. This year unfortunately I feel like he’s let some of the young spo mistakes come back but considering the season and possibly personal reasons I can understand.
You can’t really blame Spoelstra for not having talent in his roster.
#SPOKNOWS🔥🇵🇭👊
Smh he going no where heat would let go bam n tyler before spo n I would only keep spo
It's obvious that they're firing them to start tanking for the next 2-5 years. They want to tank because they don't believe their going to win a championship anytime soon.
What cheesy click bait title! 🥴 You know that's not true! Thumbs down! 👎
NEVER!!!
Pat Riley needs to go. The game has passed him bye. Replace Riley with SPO and move Caron butler over to head coach.
Hopefully.
Love Spo !! But Yeah FIRE SPO !!! We need change all !
Spo ain’t goin nowhere
No, Spo ain't going nowhere
Locked on Heat is click baiting
Spo got a 8yr extension.. He's a made man & ain't going nowhere
dumbass thumbnail and topic
1:40 the Denver WHO
That clickbaity thumbnail is not the move
If I wake up tomorrow morning and my face is sewn to my pillow, I will be less shocked than if the heat fires Soo this off season…
Wes the interruption artist 😂 can’t let David finish a thought
Let’s not get crazy
Reason why Erick Spoelstra needs to be FIRED ASAP 😡 because it's is TIME 😡🔥 for a NEW ERA MIAMI HEAT NEED A COACH that knows how to TREAT PLAYER'S AND KNOW HOW TO COACH THE PLAYER'S ESPECIALLY THE YOUNG PLAYERS in particular our YOUNG CENTER'S also Erick is STUBBORN AND ARROGANT AND A HATER PLUS Bean HERE LONG ENOUGH,HEAT NATION DEMANDS AND CHANGE PERIOD 😡🔥 PLUS HE ROTATION TO MUCH AN NEVER HAD A STARTING FIVE LINE UP PLAYER'S DO NOT RESPECT HIM OR WANTS TO PLAY FOR SPO PERIOD 😡🤣 MICKEY ARRISON PLEASE ITS IS HIS TIME TO GO LOYAL FANS SAID FIRED SPOELSTRA ASAP…..
Spo has Incredible Job Security, because Nothing Is Ever His Fault…. He's The Reason For Everything Good,The Players Are The Reason For Everything Bad😂 #HeatCulture😂
Spurs is a no Joke. It's a Champion team with Duncan, Parker, Ginobli and Leonard. Blame the one failed Championship to Lebron. Terry and Barrea outplayed Lebron😂😂😂 remember
Just look at the Players after they left Heat and without Spo. What happened to them?😂😂😂 LOL
Yeah that "culture" over there in Denver really panned out didn't it lol
Spo is the right kind of crazy for the Heat 😅
very weird stuff happening in the NBA this season. I don't follow Denver, I was under the impression Malone was a good coach. He certainly seems to beat the shit out of the Heat anyways. Booth certainly seemed to deserve to be fired, and perhaps a lot sooner than now. But I guess if he really lost the locker room like that, maybe there's some justification. Strange timing though. Spo's job seems to be very secure at the moment though
