Their problems are strictly at the coaching level: Rotations, play running, and someone they respect enough to snap them out of a funk with his words.
Erik aint the one.
I've never believed in pro-athletes being under real "pressure".....

Remarkable
Rookie
...until tonight for the Heat
Usually, it's a big game. You win or you lose. Fans might be sad, but either way, life goes on for the pro athlete quicker than you think. Like Barkley said, "If the worst thing in my life is losing a bball game, then I have a pretty great life."
The Miami Heat though, if they lose tonight(or this series), their "big 3" will probably be split up and IMO will be considered probably the biggest fail in sports history. That whole "not 1 title, not 2 titles, not 3, 4, 5, 6, 7" clip of Lebron will go down in the ultimate joke category. Him and DWade dancing at that celebration. Him and DWade shadow boxing against the Mavs last year.
The very least that will happen is Spoelstra being fired and Pat Riley taking over as head coach. Either way, there's a lot of pressure on the line for tonight.
I don't think that's a given. He was just given an extension and Riley may think the absence of Bosh was more responsible for the Heats shortcomings than Spo.

i think soccer players who rep their country for the world cup are under a lot of pressure. If they mess up and cost their team a win, they might end up getting bodied when they come back.
I hate how people place the blame on Spo, Its disgusting
Propaganda

i think what it really comes down to is that everyone knew that wade and bron play similar games and bosh isn't a good enough big man to carry the load inside with guys like joel anthony and shyt beside him. the fit wasn't there on paper but like A LOT of people thought (yeah, i remember 99% of y'all crying about how unfair it's gonna be when they play together), their talents would overcome "chemistry" issues and the fact that they don't really have much outside of the big 3.
and to a certain extent, they have overcome those issues...they made the finals last year. but when wade's not on point like he hasn't been in the playoffs, those fit issues are just getting exacerbated and will just get worse. plus as much as heads want to downplay it, losing bosh has been a problem for them in these playoffs.
if anything, this is looking more and more like a lesson. you just can't mash together a few great players and assume it'll work.

you still hate lebron
what pressure nikka
I've never seen so much fukkery, I don't want the celtics to win simply cuz it's them but the level of hilarity that'll come from the heats losing tonight is astronomical. Something tells me miami gon win tonight.
wait a second, wasn't Beasley a salary cap move? To get to sign all 3? Or where they signed? Don't remember
you still hate lebron
what pressure nikka
I dont hate Lebron.
But its obvious the pressure was on given the ultimate effort he just gave
it was to free up Miller's money
Riley let that team down with horrible signings.
Mike Miller- 5yrs/25mil
Shane Battier - 3yr deal. He's 34..
Joel Anthony - 6yrs/ 18mil..
He refuses to draft a player that can at least crack the rotation.
Except for Norris Cole, who hasn't done shyt since Christmas, there are no young players.
All he does is sign washed up vets..
The coach was not ready to coach a team like this.
This is on Riley..
The team Riley built went to the Finsls last year and have a great chance of winning a title this year though breh...
You guys are REACTIONARY AS fukk.
Other than widespread online clowning the Heat will be fine. Bron/Wade need to elevate their game like they did vs the Pacers and Chalmers have decent output and I think they can still take the series.
