11月4日，据24直播网报道，热火队记者Ira Winderman在WQAM 104.3电台的节目中强调，斯波尔斯特拉教练亟需在关键时刻对球队进行策略调整。
Ira Winderman emphasized that the Heat's current plight stems from a combination of flawed strategic deployment and the head coach's steadfast adherence to his methods. It is imperative for Spoelstra to embrace change, as he has demonstrated adaptability in the past, particularly during the era of the Big Three. The concern lies in the intense competition within the Eastern Conference, where a single defeat could prove catastrophic towards the end of the season. The gap between the second and tenth positions could be as narrow as three or four wins, necessitating an immediate halt to experimenting with new tactics and a swift return to established routines by the entire team.
截至目前，迈阿密热火队的表现令人失望，其战绩为两胜五负。
