How Many Teams Can Lose LeBron, Have Compelling Team 13 Months Later?

You are so ignorant it's not even funny. You KNOW nothing about professional basketball coaching or basketball strategy. Nothing. You're an expert at talking out of your ass, however.

He's a Bron c*cksucker, he hasn't watched a Heat game since they got stomped in game 5 against the Spurs. No point acknowledging him.

Right, which makes Spo's performance last season all the more appalling.

Look, I agree Spo was bad last year, but it's unfair to put the entirety of the blame on him. Last season was a disaster in many ways. The Heat had a league high 27 different starting lineups, which would be difficult for any coach to overcome. It's impossible to establish any kind of cohesion and chemistry. Several of their rotation players weren't even in the league to start the season. When you're counting on production from guys like Henry Walker, Tyler Johnson, Shabazz Napier, and a completely broken down Udonis Haslem, your job as a coach is challenging to say the least.

All that being said, Spo MUST improve. Last year was his first year as a coach without having at least one top 3 player in the game. We know that Wade and Lebron covered many of his deficiencies. This is an important year for Spo individually. He's entering the season with a roster that many coaches would love to have. If they remain reasonably healthy they should win 50+ games and make a deep playoff run, that is IF the team is competently coached.

this aint compelling this is a team full of old veterns that were at one point great but have to earn their place among bright young new talent across the board...

If only Wade was 5 years younger...
