Mike Monroe/San Antonio Express lists Randy Wittman among the top 5 coaches most likely to be fired.
Mike James on when playoff hopes for the team ended:
"Probably last night," he said after Saturday's practice, referring to a 92-77 home loss to Miami, a game in which the Heat had a flurry of first-half layups. "We've given away so many games this year that we had a chance to win, that we had a chance to do well in. It's been a tough season all the way from the beginning. From the beginning, we've been saying that we're going to figure out our rhythm, and for some odd reason, we never figured it out."
