  1. Ware is just to soft to small! This heat culture bullshit is no more! When we realize that and start going about building a solid team so we can actually compete thats when it will change. We are not gonna strike lightning in a bottle like we did a few years ago and made the finals.

  2. I hate Spo's comments tonight and hold him accountable for playing soft and not keeping with his rotations, not playing using depth to keep our feet on the gas, not playing Ware and not playing Norm and Tyler together to run up the score. How many Qtrs do you need to see them get more 2nd chance points, before you quit being stubborn and let 7ft Kel'el play thru his mistakes? Tell me what other player has played perfectly, Spo!!! And the matchup argument is BS SPO, because 7'0 Queta played 19.45 minutes and Kel'el played ONLY 9 MINUTES 😮

  3. And when Ware plays good with good minutes, you have on multiple occasions chosen to reward him with bad minutes after that. How does that work?

  4. PLAY WARE SPO THE HEAT WERE GETTING G REBOUNDED!!!! TELL THE FRONT OFFICE TO TRADE WARE OR USE HIM! GO GET JA OR GIANNIS

  5. Everybody in the comments dont listen.. the boy gives no effort, simple, pelle plays hard. Guess what he gets minutes, hell niko played better today played hard except for the t/o as soon as he entered the game.

  6. The Pacers slapped the culture out the heat. We have no closer and can't take the 4th quarter pressure. I expect this team to lose every game now and they don't disappoint. Bought a league pass to watch them win 2 outta 10 games 😂. Better make some serious trades or last year's embarrassment will be like winning the east. Just expect many, many… many LOSSES 😢.

  7. Yal not watchin.. them rebounds he got had no effect they jus bounced his way.. he made no effort to box out nobody at no point and rebound.. he aint made a impact on winning the game in weeks, yal jus want him to get his “stats and shoot 3s”… box out and you’ll get your stats . Boxing out gets you rebounds and points .

  8. Spo is walking on thin ice if he's not going to play Ware trade him already. Spo was fine giving Bam minutes when he was playing terrible keep the same energy for them as well. Ware was hooping and had his minutes took dude was averaging 10+ rebounds straight like wtf.

  9. This guy is teflon. His addiction to small ball has made us a play in team. He (and Riley) have run Lebron, Wade, and Jimmy out of town. If only he was as good at coaching as he is making BS excuses. Been Years different players, the only constant is Spo.

  10. This idiot coach plays the imbecile Jovic a ton of minutes but can't play Ware? Guys, everytime Jovic plays we get outscored by opposing teams! I knew when Jovic came out and played we are gonna lose coz Jovic is the stupidest useless NBA player in the league right now! When Jovic plays I knew our lead is not safe. Why can 't we just send Jovic to the G-League!?

  11. Like objectively ware didn't play well but it's kind of hard to get things going when he only plays 8 minutes and less than 20 minutes the past few games to find any rhythm when his role is constantly changing. Part of being a young guy tho hope he fights through the adversity.

  12. Love Spo. But his view on Kel'el makes him look like a Jackass. Should have just got Durant for all this BS "I'll play poorly if you dont play me more"?? Did he say that to you? Did you ask him? Arent you playing Niko even though he's playing poorly? Who has given us more this year Niko or Ware? Sounds like typical Heat Pride to me now.

  13. Bam has been stinking up most games this season and Spo never calls him out. Ware balls out and Spo benches him while opposing teams are outplaying us.

  14. He wants Ware to go back when he was 7 weeks ago ( you know guys when he played with Bam and his minutes weren't reduced )
    Dude making me sick 😭😭

  15. It's simple you lost because of rebounds.we lost because of you spo. We lost because ware only had 8 mins. At least should have close the game. This is ridiculous spo. This lost is all on you. Idk why you hate ware. Idk why you refuse to start him. But even worse….8 MINS!!!!! 8 !!!! That's literally unexceptionable man.

  16. 2:57 thats BS…… ware has been playing amazing, the problem is we don't have no true PG other than kas who can set ware , and bam in the right position to be effective more. Don't blame ware , let him go through his growing faze and become better from trial and error, also ware rarely been taking shots in the last 10 games and if we don't feed our big men we can't expect them to have the energy to defend and rebound. Poor coaching is to blame not ware… if spo keeps this up , we might need a new head coach or for pat Riley and zo to have a talk with spo cause this is crazy….

  17. Spo isn’t a basketball player so he doesn’t realize some players need more minutes to get into rhythm.

  18. infuriating post game presser. any coach that thinks this is the way to reprimand a young player is weird dude. this is weird!

  19. Send Spo to the G League dawg
    He clearly gets upset when asked about Kel’el 2:25 he immediately cuts off the reporter to give his shitty excuse

    Spo you need to get back to your Video Room days and be humble, how many times have you made questionable calls early in your career

  20. Nico was -19
    on the +/- stat
    Not the first time and prob not the last, wasting talent like Ware on the bench should be a basketball crime

  21. Spo is beefing with ware smh im sick of seeing him not play waste of talent sitting on the bench at this point if u hate ware that much trade him to a team where he's gonna play this is ridiculous

  22. I actually hope we trade Ware at this point and he balls out somewhere else so everyone can see how far Spo’s head is up his own ass. Never seen this shit in my life bro what a fucking weirdo.

  23. Bam is a bum. what the hell did he even doing the second half against a Celtics team with no good center… awful

  24. Spoelstra won 2 titles 12 years ago with one of the best teams ever. Why is this guy untouchable? Why is he above criticism? Unbelievable stubborn and petty. Multiple teams have won championships since who fired their coaches a couple years after but Spoelstra is set for life in Miami?

  25. i like Spo, i understand what you mean that you have to adjust to the talent and lineup of the other team BUT why not make them adjust to you instead? Just play Ware pls!

  26. Honestly ware did play soft when he was in there but I’d still give him some minutes ahead of jovic in second half but this game was lost on Boston second chance points

  27. I was frustrated not seeing Ware get back in the game. But I get that I'm not there and don't know all the details, and that its challenging to play guys with a deep roster.
    Buut. There has to be situations where Spo can communicate to Ware in the game to tight'n up while giving him minutes. Not be prideful when we're continuing to get out-rebounded just to prove a point.
    I see plenty of guys get beat off their matchups.
    Didn't like when he took Tyler out after he scored the quick 8 points in less than a minute either… Gotta let guys ride their wave when they have it going. A lot of games I've seen how hard it is for guys to stay in rhythm because of what seems to be predetermined rotations. Gotta be able to adapt in the flow of the game. He knows this and should be better.

  28. Ware had multiple double doubles in a row and you strip his minutes. Thats on YOU Spo. You killed the kids rhythm. Where was the same mindset when Bam was playing horrible? You let Bam play through it but Ware gets called out time after time. Put your massive ego aside and let the kid play ball

  29. sFOOLstra overated coach. Blaming Ware always. If You dont Like The kid trade Him and He'll Be Good somewhere. Why blame BUM Hes the Captain but hes playing Horrible for many games. Its your coaching that Cost this Game what kind of Coach that allowed other team to score lay up after lay up and without any rim protection and rebounding thats Foolstra there legendary overated.

  30. Ware isn't the problem! Spo refuses to address the elephant in the room. He will do whatever it takes to protect Bam and Herro
