Erik Spoelstra on Kel’el Ware:
“Yeah, we’re just trying to get a handle on it. It’s very nuanced, when you have two dynamic pick and roll players like they had. But, I thought he bounced back in the third quarter and gave us some quality minutes.”

  1. Honestly I do agree Kelel does not put enough effort and is not using his 7 feet of height. I hope bam can drill into him how to improge

  2. I think it’s a little early to be too worried about Ware. I need and hope Bam can help him develop and get the motor going for Ware.

  3. No, in 12 minutes he more productive then Jovic. Jovic isn't a good as we thought, they kept going after him because the lack of defense

  4. In the 4th QTR when Niko and Ware playing together, they brought heat back within 4 points. Then Spo brought Bam and Wiggins in and Heat when back trailing 12 points

  5. what's depressing is I was screaming to trade Kelel for Kevin Durant straight up. We probably could've got that done and been undefeated right now

  6. It doesn't help when Spoelstra has Niko spotting up in the corner all game or have him playing center. He still isnt playing him right, again.

  7. We’ve seen both of them play much better. No reason to panic. They’re super young bigs. There’s definitely things they need to improve on in an immediate sense, but you won’t know who either of these guys are until they put on more size…and that could be something dominant.

    I expect Jovic to return to form soon, Ware could take the whole year, but it’ll be worth not giving up on him.

  8. AlonzonMourning needs to put his sweatpants on, get down on that practice floor, and do something with that guy. He's so slow to learn it tells me they're not talking to him right, and he's just trying to figure things out on his own. Huddle talk isn't working with him. He needs a tutor 1 on 1

  9. No. Not worried about Ware. Please remember this…..Spo doesn't play his young centers like that. Even in year 2 Bam wasn't getting any PT. It's simple growing pains. It's not about his motor or his fit. He has been good this year, he just showed us in preseason, that's still this year my man. Stop hyping it up. I know you have a job to do but all will be good soon. He is still young. And Miami isn't known to run rookie centers. Spo will find a way to get him more involved but it's gonna be up to Ware how fast that process takes.

  10. Miami always waste money. You and others have said Niko should get that. You have said it. I never seen him as a player to have a starting spot. Not yet. He still needs a lot of work. But Miami always does this unwise stuff with the money. I just don't know who is in charge of these finances. Stop wasting money Miami. Let that man work for his pay. Stop being so soft

  11. Ware could be a great player, and I know he is frustrated because this style of play doesn't fit him. But if he wants to play in Miami, he needs to understand that he'll get his minutes when we need to cranck up def or reb. Offensively, he's not gonna get a ton, but if he can properly rotate, he'll still get some points in the paint, the occasional screen and roll, lobs. Sure, it might not be flashy, but Bam has been terrific in that regard. If he can just focus, train hard and gel with this new system, he'll be alright. Let us just hope he's humble enough to figure that out in time.

  12. Spo trying to make another scapegoat since Rozier gone, either coach him up or trade him at this point

  13. This year & every year..spo continues to f things up…clearly dictator riley is cool with the soft direction and miss appropriation of funds..the heat has overpaid for players with resign them …and no direction team …this is sad

  14. You are wrong just like Erick Spoelstra is a. HATER know one want to play when Spoelstra he keep taken Kel El WARE out 12 minutes is garbage give 35 minutes and a few plays he will dominate No concern only concern is Erick players hater Spoelstra cant coach overated

  15. That what Erick Spoelstra want you all to think that kel El WARE doesn't know what going on you both are dead wrong Nic Rolloff
