Robert Horry takes a shot at Nikola Jovic👀
"I don't even know who he is. Number 5 (Jovic) he didn't do his job -- that's why he didn't play much"
Austin Reaves say their gameplan was to build a wall on Giannis and FORCE Miami into jumpshots😬
"You gotta guard Giannis and Bam with 3-4 defenders, Giannis is going to run through the first one...you gotta show a wall and hope they settle for jumpshots. We did a great job forming the wall -- making him see bodies..."

Lakers studio crew is still roasting Nikola Jovic😭
"Who was that number 5 for Miami? he looks lost out there?"
"Jokic. That's all his name is -- Jokic something like that. He didn't play much."

About as open, honest and frustrated as I’ve seen Heat coach Erik Spoelstra in a long time. He makes clear the defense is not acceptable right now, and everyone is to blame, including himself:
“I need to do better job of getting this group to defend to our potential. We’re all accountable to this.”

Coach Spo on staggering the Giannis and Bam minutes:
"It's not great either way -- it's been good moments with the 2nd unit at times but it has not been stellar either. That would be a reach for me to say it's great"

Coach Spo takes accountability for the bad defense:
"I need to do a better job of getting this group to defend to our potential. We're all accountable to this. We have to figure it out and we're fully capable of doing it"

Coach Spo is NOT happy about the defense from this Heat team:
"What wasn't I trying to tell my defense? seriously -- I'm not going to go on a rant right now, it's between the coach and the team...we had no chance...you score 72 -- you're not expecting to be down"

Coach Spo on the bad defense tonight:
"We never got a handle on any aspect of it.... It's not good enough. Our locker room knows it's not good enough. We need to be a whole lot more consistent defensively"

Heat Central’s main takeaways, game 7:
- Defense was BAD all night
- Offensive turnovers were awful
- Luka and Reaves just foul bait all night. Lakers are a bad watch
- Bam should’ve been on Luka more tonight
- Klay Thompson looked good for Miami
- Didn’t get much from Wiggins and Bam for the most part
- Heat bench was terrible
- Giannis looked great attacking, but those jumpers he takes are bad and a major W for the defense
- 3rd quarter was just embarrassing. We still got some ways to go
Next game is Wednesday vs the Clippers.

Heat start their West coast trip with a 138-117 loss to the Lakers. Defense was bad from the start. It was hard to watch. Miami is now 2-5 on the season. They stay in Los Angeles to play the Clippers on Wednesday night.

Draymond Green says players should attend therapy sessions to help manage their temperaments
“It does because ultimately it helps your temperament. It helps you in decision making. It helps you in patience. It helps you have grace. And so I think ultimately it does because it makes you a better person. And being a better person is 1,000% going to make you a better player because it affects all the other things that you do. It affects your whole being.”
