I use to dislike him as a coach. But I thought he really improved the last couple of years. I know the team has injuries, I know he lost LeBron and I know the guards suck.


However, I really felt he was a top 5 or 6 NBA coach last year. This year he's made some questionable ass coaching decisions :mindblown:

he left the LeBron ball system in place even when james left. He thinks that Norris cole has a place on an nba court. he thought mike bibby and big z in 2011 were starter material for a team in the finals. He had 6'8 Udonis fronting 7 feet tall KG in the playoffs, and never seemingly makes any adjustments at any point, and also for this year sees how much better we play with whiteside but has his minutes limited like he's saving him for the playoffs the way pop does manu and Duncan. Worst coach in the league easy. Completely brainless on both ends of the court.

That finals was a disaster. It wasnt all LeBron's fault like many think either. Spo had no answers :francis:

defensive breakdowns every single 4th quarter, awful mistakes by wade in the clutch in games 2 and 4. Mostly the defense and spo playing bibby though. Bron wasn't out there making mistakes in the first place really. Coaching lost us that finals

Two critical mistakes that series. He did NOTHING to stop the surge of the Mavs comeback in game 2. I'm like dude do something. Have a play that can stop the momentum.

His usage of LeBron was brutal. Yea, LeBron was choking. But I'd be damn if a coach isnt at least challenging him to do better. He just was way too passive aggressive with him. Also putting him on Jason Terry just so Carlisle can run him to death. :heh:

Guy was playin the entire second half of every playoff game. Had no offense drawn up to get him going. Man if Riley would have just SVG'd spo we would be chasing a 4th straight title or have won 4 straight already provided the owners didn't actually cancel the 2011-12 season.

LeBron was a disaster in 2011 and again in 2013 until the 4th quarter of game 6. If your best player stinks it up, you're not winning the Finals.

Miami has horrendous talent outside of Wade, Bosh and now Whiteside. With Wade on pace to miss about 25-30 games again and no LeBron to pick up the slack, they're right where they should be.
