在11月4日的报道中，来自24直播网的资讯透露，记者Ira Winderman于WQAM电台的104.3频段节目中强调，斯波尔斯特拉教练必须及时对热火队的现状进行调整，以避免事态进一步恶化。
Ira Winderman expressed concerns, asserting that the Heat's current predicament stems from both a flawed tactical approach and the coach's steadfast adherence to his methods. He emphasized that Spoelstra needs to embrace change, as he had demonstrated adaptability during the era of the Big Three. Winderman fears that in the intensely competitive Eastern Conference, a single defeat could have dire consequences at the season's end—just a few wins could separate the top ten teams, and it's imperative for the team to halt experimentation and quickly revert to their established path.
截至目前，迈阿密热火的表现为两胜三败。
