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.

I always thought LeBron went to Miami because he thought Riley would eventually take over. :ld:

I dont know if they beat the Spurs the 2nd time. But I think its a better series.

I don't think it's fair to pile on him when he hasn't really had the full roster at all this season. Wade-Deng-Bosh-McRoberts played all of 60 minutes together this season. Whiteside & Wade seem to alternate injuries now. Bosh has been pretty underwhelming outside of the first couple weeks. Tyler Johnson is getting tick at the moment that's how bad this team is

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.

:heh:

Game 1 he put up like 18/18/10. Game 2 he struggled through 3 Qrts. But led them to the blowout with nothing but 3 point shooters on the floor. Game 4 he put up 33/11/4 Game 5 he struggled shooting but put up 25/8/6/4.

He wasnt as bad as 2011. 2011 is known because he lacked aggression and wouldnt shoot.


Not knowing WTF they talking about brehs.

And that 18/18/10 game his teammates went 1 of 7 on shots he created for them too in the 4th. Man it gets tiresome seeing these same people give 100% of the credit or 100% of the blame to just one player.

He was passive as fukk in 2013 until that 4th quarter in game 6. If Ray Allen didn't hit that three, all the talk would have been about LeBron's lack of aggression. Again.

Watch box scores instead of the games, brehs.

must suck not knowing how to judge performances..

he was hesitant.. not passive.. he hesitated on his shot too much.. they CLOGGED the lanes... he was nba number lane finisher or top 5 i beleive (pretty sure on 1)

passive = not playing part of the offense...

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.

You don't have Randy Wittman

don't complain

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's a very smart guy but his problem is too often he tries too hard to outsmart others only to end up shooting himself in the foot.

Most Heats fans dislike him and feel we won despite him not thanks to him. I agree and disagree at the same time. He's not the worst NBA coach as some Heat fans will have you believe but i CAN think of others i'd want coaching the team right now

Side note: I still dont buy Doc Rivers as a GREAT coach, BTW but thats for another thread.

Doc Rivers is a better coach than Spoelstra though. Rivers will exploit matchups and make adjustments. Spoelstra does absolutely nothing in game.

Keep your panties on man :pachaha:

Nowhere did i say Spoelstra was better. Notice I NEVER said Spoelstra was a great coach and notice to how i capitalized great when i mentioned RIvers.
I feel Rivers is a very good coach but I dont like the "GREAT" label people keep tagging him with. He's not in the Phil, Riley, Pop discussion. At least not yet.But listening to some of the clones here and out there you'd think he was
That is all i'm saying.:manny:
