Not only 10-14 previous 24 games (under Regular Season pressure) but just got blown out by a mediocre Chicago team.
It's either Erik Spoelstra is losing control of his locker room or he just doesn't know how to coach (these) Miami Heat players.
Because HIS OFFENSE is ranked 25th (🤮) and just as BAD as tank teams offenses such as Detroit/San Antonio/Houston and Orlando's crap Offenses.
Coach Thibs would be buried 6 feet DEEP if NY currently featured the 25th worst Offense (Erik Spoelstra) within an Offensive Driven League.
Or they've had a ton of injuries and their gm has managed their roster poorly.
I don't wanna hear that type of talk in defence of Erik Spoelstra.
Because I've (learned) how to give all NBA Coaches the "Tom Thibs Treatment".
Excuses don't matter; only results to.
Remember when Tom Thibs inherited a 21-45 💩 Roster and inherited the likes of...
Elf Payton.
Dennis Smith Jr.
Reggie Bullock.
Taj Gibson.
Ignas Brazdeikis.
Frank Ntilikina.
Kevin Knox.
?
(Anyone know their advanced 2022-2023 Statistics)?
And not only did Tom Thibs inherit those 6 players from 21-45's team before making the biggest Turnaround within Franchise History @ 41-31 (the following season) but he also had more mediocre to 💩 players on his 2020-2021 Roster such as...
Norvel Pelle.
Alec Burks.
Nerlens Noel.
Theo Pinson.
Austin Rivers.
Etc.
(What are their 2022-2023 advanced stats)?
And was also without MITCHELL ROBINSON vs. Atlanta while Clint Capela feasted like Shaq O'Neal during the Playoffs (because of no Mitch).
But yet fans who criticized Thibs for "losing to Atlanta" weren't using those same injuries and poor GM crap roster excuses, now were they?
Erik Spoelstra is only a 7th seed Play-In (@ best) type of Head Coach @ barely .500 this year and has only gone 10-14 previous 24 games (under Regular Season Pressure) @ only .416%.
And Erik Spoelstra is the LEADER of an atrocious 25th ranked Offense that's no better than tank teams Offenses such as Detroit/San Antonio/Houston/Orlando
As a diehard Coach Thibs supporter who's both stuck up for and defended him for going on 3 years now?
I'm sorry Martin but I don't wanna give Erik Spoelstra any "excuses" for his teams crap play; he deserves the "Tom Thibs" treatment (imo).
