    Default Prime Erik Spoelstra

    Not to take away from the way the players are performing, that's all on them but...

    I am really admiring the job Erik Spolstra is doing in Miami right now. Riley has given him the pieces to play a more three point, open game to make better use of the new NBA and Spolstra is delivering. The bubble is the ultimate test of mental discipline and Miami looks prepared, are running fantastic sets, look in shape and are closing games out with their top dog. You can't ask for anything more from a coach or team. Miami may not have even peaked yet. My admiration and respect to one of the best if not the best coach in the game right now: SPO.


    His hair game is on point too.

    Spo's always been one of the best coaches in the league, he gets no credit for outcoaching Pop in '13 with the defense he had Bosh & Wade playing in the 2nd half of that series.

    Maybe he wasn't consistent enough to keep a good, interesting streak back then.

    LeBron is 1-4 in finals without Spoelstra. If Erik now eliminates lebron, that's a knock on his legacy.

    The fact that you ignored a ban bet you lost is a knockout on your legacy/credibility

    It should have been Raptors vs Heat in the ECF. I can't believe we lost against Boston.

    They added a star, we lost a superstar and three point specialist. We pushed them to 7 games. Pascal averages 18 ppg at least and we advancing.
    I am cheesed right now!!

    Raptors would be in the finals if we played the Heat to be quiet honest.

    This is probably their peak with this group. It may be several seasons before Miami is back in the Finals again.

    Next year the Nets are going to win the East.

    He didn't outcoach Pop though. Revisionist history
