11月4日，据24直播网报道，在104.3 WQAM电台的一档节目中，热火队记者Ira Winderman强调，斯波尔斯特拉教练必须及时对球队进行调整，以避免形势恶化。
Ira Winderman expressed his concerns, noting that the Heat's current predicament stems from a combination of a flawed tactical approach and the head coach's steadfast adherence to his methods. It is imperative for Spoelstra to adapt, as he has demonstrated his ability to alter his coaching strategy during the era of the Big Three. The fierce competition in the Eastern Conference raises alarm bells, as a single defeat could have catastrophic repercussions at the season's end. The gap between the second and tenth spots could be as narrow as three or four wins, and the team urgently needs to abandon its experimentation and revert to a cohesive strategy.
截至目前，迈阿密热火队的表现为两胜三负。
