Miami Heat: When will Kel’el Ware be trusted to close? | Five on the Floor
The Miami Heat lost their opener, in part because of some defensive rebounding issues down the stretch. Kel’el Ware didn’t close; Jaime Jaquez Jr. did. Ethan Skolnick and Brady Hawk discuss when Erik Spoelstra will turn to Ware more consistently in those situations.

Rythem my a$$. Im tired of closing lineups that can't secure the critical rebounds to close the game.
I don't like the double standard Bam is our highest paid player.And no matter how bad he plays, he will never get yanked out of the game. Niko, and Ware are our future Spo needs to have more patience with them
So why preach having a flexible lineup if the coach is not flexible?
Bad coaching by Spo, Ware should've been in there at the end. You have to give him a chance, it's hard to get better on the bench.
When he earned it. If he stop playing lazy and do winning plays.
Pelle can't shoot. Really needs to work on his jumper.
We lost due to Bam,and JJJ,Didn't do enough scoring.
Spo hates Ware lol jkin
Man roster construction is on spo. That's what makes me think he's not the best coach in the NBA. He makes bad decisions. That has not worked for the past 4 years. And the man continuously tries to play small ball against big lineups. This dude is terrible
And you guys keep talking about this stuff like it's something new that spo does. Y'all need to criticize this man. He acts like he's the best coach in the league when he's not. He's been proven to lose big games for the past 4 years
Everything we're experiencing,we already knew..coaching is suspect with his line ups…certain players shouldn't be on the roster ..let alone in the game..now pated niko,jjj
Bam has no offensive bag, should been working on that.
The Rockets are running 6'7 pg.
6'11 sg.
6'11 sf.
6'11 pf.
7'0 c.
let's face it spo just isnt a good coach. you have the celtics turning an unkown benchwarmer (queta) into a powerhouse, and then there's spo who turns a proven beast into a benchwarmer. AND WHEN REBOUNDING WAS THE ISSUE AT THAT. if spo wont trust kelel in a season opener, how the f is he suppose to work out his rookie mistakes for bigger games. he's so hung up on kelel's mistakes, HE CANT EVEN DRAW UP A DECENT INBOUND PLAY. almost 3 5-second violations in the last 2 minutes. and what the hell is his offense when it counts? ISO BALL. how the hell is anyone supposed to get a rhythm playing for a coach like him. there's just no versatility in him hence other teams know exactly what to expect. kelel will soon be our kuminga. DUMBASS. team usa should rethink his appointment cause they will lose badly with spo at the helm

The Spo hypocrisy for Ware & Niko vs Bam, Wiggins, & Rozier is what’s infuriating. Also someone might want to tell Spo… “Bro your vets ain’t winning 💩 no matter how many minutes you play them. Stop doing the same crap you’re going to get the same results, it’s called losing. Try something new my guy.”
Shout out to Bam for not only choking on offense in the clutch but also on defense 😂😂😂
Hot Take: This season will make the Heat realize they have to trade Bam because of his max contract and the growth of Jovic & Ware.
