Nah. No way. Both games in miami were there for the taking. Pop or Steven's would have at least got us 1. We got too much versatility and depth to be going out like this. It's been the same story since spo first started coaching the heat. Even when lebron was on the team they had terrible 3rd quarters. That's the sign of a coach who cant make adjustments. It doesn't matter who we have. The heat will never go deep in the playoffs again with this clown coaching the team. Spo is nothing but a glorified video boy and that's all he'll ever be. The fact that he only managed to win 2 titles with Bron, Bosh, and wade should have made that obvious. Spo is a bum.Even with Pop or Stevens, we would still be down 3-1, the issue has and still is talent.
Pop could be head coach, Kerr assistant coach and Stevens on the coaching staff, and this team would still get blown out. This heat team is a team of roleplayers with one all star(Dragic) and a borderline all star who's been injured for durations during the season(Hassan) Vs a Team with 3 all stars and 2 future hall of famers. Our best player and hall of famer is Wade and it might be his last game. This is simple talent disparity. We don't have a good enough playmates to consistently find players and we don't have a consistent shooter to keep the defense honest and generate open lanes to the basket....Look at how easy Philly compared to us. Miami has to make 10,000 passes to get a good look, while Philly can just give the ball to Biid or Simmons for an easy layup/dunk.
Even with Pop or Stevens, we would still be down 3-1, the issue has and still is talent.
The commentator said that the Heat have not been eliminated in the 1st rd since 2010 without pointing out that they haven't made the playoffs since 2013-14.
I get what you are saying but Ben is still a newbie, and Process came into the series with a injury. I didn’t immediately think they had them in em to come and almost sweepI had them in 5 AT MOST.
It took a Wade monster game for it NOT to be a sweep. Y'all still believing that Whiteside was going to make ANY impact were humbled quick.
The whole roster needs to be dismantled and have their own Wade going away year just like the Lakers did with Kobe. It's over.
