Here were the negative comments on Nikola Jokic as a rookie. He was fortunate his coach let him play….

I have a great idea, let’s send Rozier, 1 third round pick & to fill salaries, let’s also send Coach Spo, for Giannis, they can keep his brother. That should get it done, Spo being a Hall of Fame coach & all. That’s more than fair.

No moves by the Heat. This could be a good thing is Spo would play Bam & Ware together, significant minutes. But we all know he won’t do it because his middle name is small ball.

A quote from Spo: “Develop these players, infuse them with confidence, but also hold them accountable to our standard.” I AGREE WITH SPO, YES SIR…BUT THERE IS ONE PROBLEM, EVERYONE MUST BE ACCOUNTABLE, NOT JUST WARE. Including himself for being an outdated coach. He’s finished.

Folks, I don’t know Ware, not his rep. or lawyer, just a fan of a 21 year old with potential. Please look up his gms earlier in the season when he played lots of min or he started. He was doing very well, then, nothing. 7 min stints are not going to help, Spo wants him to fail?

Coach Spo like this player, so he plays him a lot, doesn't like another, sits him...however, a real coach that is committed to winning will play the players that will bring him a win, not necessarily the ones he likes.

Bam & Ware playing together, THAT’S WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT.

You think I don't like coach Spo, not true. I don't like his stubbornness and unwillingness to change. Everyone in the league has figured him out, even coach Hardy of the Jazz. Coach, change and innovation is a good thing. Ask AI how you can improve, you'll get a good answer.

For All of you that think Coach Spo is the Greatest Coach in history, HOF material and cannot do wrong, it’s OK with me whatever your belief is, I’m on the other side, I think he’s a great person but coaching strategy & adjusting to your players, is NOT his cup of tea.
