11月4日，24直播网报道，热火队的记者Ira Winderman在104.3 WQAM电台节目中强调，斯波尔斯特拉教练必须在关键时刻对球队进行必要的调整。
According to Ira Winderman, the Heat's current predicament stems from a combination of flawed tactical strategies and the head coach's steadfast adherence to his methods. Spoelstra is now under pressure to adapt, as he has demonstrated his ability to modify his coaching approach during the era of the Big Three. The concern lies in the intense competition in the Eastern Conference, where a single defeat could have catastrophic consequences at the end of the season—the difference between securing a top-two seed and a spot in the bottom half of the standings could be as little as three or four wins. The team urgently needs to abandon its experimentation with new schemes and revert to a more stable course.
