800th career win for Spo

JaysonDeflatum | Heat

46 | 12 hours ago

Maybe he’ll finally get that coach of the year with it

_Meece_ | Lakers

37 | 12 hours ago

George Karl winning over him will always annoy me lol

HokageEzio | Knicks

14 | 12 hours ago

I don’t think anybody has leaped out with an undeniable case this year so far, and I think anything that is borderline they’re gonna go Spo

RansomGoddard | NBA

19 | 12 hours ago

Without looking at the odds my guess is the other potential candidates this season would be JB, Darko, Ott, and Ime.

I think Spo has a huge narrative advantage over the. with how he completely reshaped the Heat play style and the fact that he’s a first ballot HoF coach without a COTY award.

Still early in the season though.

FilmCroissant | Raptors

2 | 7 hours ago

I think Spo should get it. Not only as a lifetime achievement award, but also as you said because of the revamped offense. Heat are trendsetters, and SPo always gets folks to buy in (Bam is a stretch big now, Powell and Wiggins playing the best ball of their careers).

Jordan Ott is a dark horse though. Masterclass against Wemby by guarding him with a PG. And of course the Raps with their beautiful game type play will make it hard to ignore Darko. Lots of good coaching this year

Ode1st | MIA

1 | 11 hours ago

Feel like it’s gotta be Detroit so far if not Miami

Pickleskennedy1

-5 | 12 hours ago

Daigneault and Bickerstaff should definitely be ahead.

17-1 without your second best player is crazy no matter how good the rest of the team is. Pistons lost their second leading scorer from last year and are top in the East

HokageEzio | Knicks

10 | 12 hours ago

Daigneault won it two years ago so he has a tough case. Bickerstaff came in second last year so he also has a tough case just based on how voting typically goes.

Pickleskennedy1

2 | 12 hours ago

If the Pistons finish first in the East Bickerstaff is winning it, full stop. That’s way away from everyone’s expectations regardless of the jump last year

TheScrote1

0 | 12 hours ago

As a Portland fan I’d love that. He’d be great as a coach here after getting fired.

elbenji | MIA

4 | 11 hours ago

That ship long long sailed lol

TheScrote1

2 | 11 hours ago

I mean it is tradition to fire a coach 1 year after winning COTY

Erosun

2 | 11 hours ago

Does that get him any higher for most wins by a coach?

HokageEzio | Knicks

5 | 11 hours ago

15th - Jack Ramsay with 864 (Portland all time wins leader; championship coach for them in 1977).
16th - 16th is Cotton Fitzsimmons at 832 (3rd all time for the Kings, 2nd all time for the Suns)
17th - Spoelstra at 800
18th - 18th is Gene Shue at 784 (Wizards/Bullets all time leader in wins by a lot)

Been 17th place for a bit, he’ll likely finish the year in 16th.

Erosun

2 | 11 hours ago

So there’s a chance Spo moves up to 16th this season.

fuzzythinker | Nuggets

Will have > 1k wins before his contract gets renewed again.

Spo gets his 800th win.

pezasied | Pacers

9 | 12 hours ago

At his current pace he can pass Popovich in 12 seasons after this year.

He’s only 55 he could do it.

AcanthocephalaSad541 | Heat

19 | 12 hours ago

It suckss that I’m a fan of the way KPJ plays basketball. It’s much easier to hate miles bridges bc he’s also a terrorist on the court.

PattyIceNY | Nets

14 | 12 hours ago

Has an easy smoothness to his game. Might be a blessing in disguise to have him getting bigger minutes and experience being a leader while Giannis is out

Shiny_metal_ass | Heat

8 | 11 hours ago

Yeah where the fuck did that guy come from? Dude must have been working his ass off this summer

JaysonDeflatum | Heat

The same Tyler Herro that would supposedly make us worse, funny how that goes

FrostyParsley3530 | Raptors

the more i listen to nba media, even the good ones like zach lowe or thinking basketball…these folks really just saying stuff to fill the air. how could this system not suit his game lol

Stock_Discount_2833 | Lakers

6 | 12 hours ago

NBA media are messy bitches. It’s a constant stream of “back in my day…” So many of these talking heads seem to hate the sport they cover.

silverfoxgoldenhux

8 | 10 hours ago

Did Thinking Basketball say negative things about Tyler?

FrostyParsley3530 | Raptors

3 | 4 hours ago

nothing crazy iirc just mentioned he was out when they were talking about the offense and maybe expressed some doubt about how fast hed fit in bc historically he runs a lot of pnr

WasProbablyBanned | Australia

3 | 12 hours ago

Zach lowe has only ever been tolerable to me in written form. Published articles? Will have detailed and interesting breakdowns on role players on all level of teams, gush about nitty gritty of inbound plays from certain coaches, analyse the way a rookie sets screens, all of it great stuff.

Put him in front of a desk or on a podcast mic and he just spouting shit to fill the designated time

MC_JACKSON | Heat

-2 | 11 hours ago

Am I the only one who’s noticed our offense isn’t as explosive since Herro has returned?

Erosun

14 | 11 hours ago

Issue is 3 pointers. We’ve gone cold beyond the arc the last 2 games. That’ll even itself out once we start hitting 3s again.

Seref15 | Heat

3 | 10 hours ago

I think thats due to a couple things.

More careless turnovers happening right now. Like Dru passing to a corner just as Pelle cuts out of it. I think thats happening because the lineups have changed, like Pelle played with the starting unit until now, and to play this fast you need a lot of chemistry and mental connectivity; right now that connectivity was disturbed so it will take a little bit to build it back up.

Less defensive stops means less effective transition since the defense has time to set, so we play more in the halfcourt. I don’t think the defensive problems are Herro being targeted, but we played super small and it was free buckets and easy kickouts for Turner. Someone–Norm, Wiggins, or Davion–could need to get benched for size.

And the most obvious is shitty 3 point shooting. Pelle has got to be like ²⁄₁₂ over the last two games, Fontecchio has got to be like ¹⁄₁₅, Dru might be like ¹⁄₆.

santana722 | Heat

2 | 10 hours ago

Less defensive stops? Giving up 103 and 102 in the last 2 games? It’s kinda nuts how often our fanbase just defaults to blaming our elite defense for our mid offense, y’all really gotta watch the games more carefully.

Seref15 | Heat

1 | 10 hours ago

Lower opponent scores are partly due to lower pace. Last 2 games have been the slowest we’ve played. When you play fast your opponents get more possessions too, when you play slow they get less.

santana722 | Heat

0 | 8 hours ago

We played the Mavericks at 0.5 possessions fewer than their average pace, and they scored 7.5 points below average. Also the pace of the Mavericks game was still noticeably faster than our season average pace has ever been. We played elite defense and just missed shots at a pretty fast pace.

thecaptainflint

-20 | 12 hours ago

You are saying that as if they haven’t looked a whole lot worse the last two games

Trendelthegreat | Heat

27 | 12 hours ago

Shooting 20% from three the last two games will do that

rjgator | Heat

25 | 12 hours ago

They’re missing 3’s, wide open ones even, Herro can’t make other guys hit their shots.

Defense is still fine and it’s not like he’s changing the flow of the offense from what it had been while he was out.

The real issue is Spo needs to figure out rotations and getting Ware more minutes

TheEpicEddy | Heat

3 | 12 hours ago

The rotation would be set in stone if we manage to find a quality backup big man for rebounds but alas, Terry Rozier is still on the team cause fuck Adam Silver.

AashyLarry | MIA

3 | 12 hours ago

I don’t buy this excuse. We staggered Ware/Bam last game perfectly fine.

There’s 48 center minutes, it’s easy to split that between two people, especially when Bam can play half of his minutes at PF.

char_grilled | Heat

1 | 12 hours ago

I’m going to make this my new slogan f Adam Silver haha

AtlasNoseItch | Heat

1 | 11 hours ago

I love Mitchell but what the rotation needs is a bigger guard, any team can play big on us and those minutes with him and Powell almost lost us the game

JaysonDeflatum | Heat

11 | 12 hours ago

We would’ve gotten panned those games without Ty

JoshChampXZ

9 | 12 hours ago

Maybe it’s because they just missed a lot of open threes not because a certain player actually generated a lot more open shots for his team?

Pretty_Waltz5965

6 | 12 hours ago

How do you think they’ve looked worse because of Herro specifically?

The defense was just as good, Ware had a low energy game tonight, Bam struggled a bit, guys missed 3’s

Don’t see how anybody of that is on Herro

thecaptainflint

-4 | 12 hours ago

Might take time to figure it out but they certainly don’t look better because of him

Pretty_Waltz5965

This is a team that was projected to win 38 games a couple of months ago

clear831 | Heat

So nothing? Lmfao

TheRealBrownPudding | Clippers

54 | 12 hours ago

Ware needs to play more

Good to see Herro playing like he never left

Erosun

28 | 12 hours ago

Think Spo needs to start Ware and Bam that small line up was getting cooked, every time Miami got the lead with a big lineup with Ware the starters would lose it.

JWMaximum

20 | 12 hours ago

Yea also Ware has performed too well to not reward him as a starter. And he fits the lineup more than Wiggins or Mitchell

DTFpanda | Heat

5 | 10 hours ago

He has started 14 games. Spo changes stuff all the time during the regular season just to experiment. It’s not necessarily indicative of how well he’s playing

Thealbumisjustdrums | Heat

4 | 11 hours ago

Spo is addicted to small ball. Hope he finally learns.

Doc was more than happy to bail yall out with no timeout on the final play. Swear to god he’s trying to get his contract bought out at this point

AuspiciousOtter24 | Lakers

Rollins definitely regretting that 3/$12m extension he signed. Player option after the 2nd year at least, he’s gonna get a crazy raise lol

Mamadi-Diakite | Bucks

2 | 10 hours ago

29 other teams regretting it too. He wasn’t THIS good last season but some signs were there and Bucks fans were excited to get him back on such a low number thinking he could be a real mid-level rotation guy. Turns out he’s a fucking star lol

Same to you, I’m happy for you guys that you made it out of the mud and are one of the best East teams now.

Duren is one of my favorite non-Heat players in the whole league. Loved watching him the past few years, so seeing him make such a big leap has been awesome.

Number333 | Heat

17 | 12 hours ago

Good to know even with this revamped offense we’re still capable of making me scream at my TV with WTF we’re doing at the end of a tight game. Just begged Milwaukee to break our hearts and they didn’t.

Cartman55125 | Heat

2 | 8 hours ago

It was the first game with our entire lineup. There isn’t a clear starting/closing 5 so there’ll be growing pains. It was ugly as hell, but it was still a win. And legit teams find ways to win games like that.

That’s what I’m telling myself at least lol

Bobb_o | Heat

So Bucks had 18 seconds left with two timeouts, and decided to take the clock down as much as possible as if they were going for a game winner. Amazing stuff from Doc to minimize the amount of opportunities to have a chance to tie the game. I don’t see anything he does that moves the needle in helping the guys out. Incredible.

He might stay or might not but either way this Bucks team isn’t going anywhere

I get the talk some have about “if you have Giannis you always have a chance” but he’d have to do a 2018 LeBron level carry job to get this Bucks team anywhere

Ryan Rollins being your only reliable offensive player outside of Giannis is diabolical
