Miami's biggest problem is that they didn't hire an elite coach to lead them

You counting Kobe's first 2 years when he was on the bench as a 18 & 19 year old


And Kobe wasnt near his prime at ALL in those 3 years before Phil came to town

Yeah Kobe got to sit 2 years and then get Shaq and then Phil Jackson and then play. Bron had to lead a team at 18 with Paul Silas at coach and Big Z. Silver spoon

Well, Kobe and Shaq arrived in the same offseason and he became a starter while Dell Harris was coach.


LeBron James came to a team that had a 7'3 Center coming off an All-Star season, and a future 2x NBA All-Star at PF, while playing in a weak ass Eastern Conference where the #2 seed was 47-35 (New Jersey) and 4 teams made the playoffs without a winning record (New Orleans/Milwaukee/New York/Boston)

coaching excuse is only brought up when the heat are losing

good thing NBA franchises aren't as in-the-moment and emotional as you nikkas on here

Mike Brown and Avery Johnson would beg to differ

Mike Brown and Avery Johnson would beg to differ

did either one of them coach a team to 3 straight Finals appearances?

Same can be said for his haters who expect him to do big things without help.

When Wade ad Bosh are off, Bron is still expected to will the team to victory. That says the haters think he is that nikka.

*wasn't hearing any of this during the 27-game winning streak*

@ that ether, the fukkery
This should've closed this thread

did either one of them ride Lebron's coattails in a weak azz conference to 3 straight Finals appearances?

Fixed. And the answer is no.

Seems like they figured they could become a dynasty with an average coach and depend on their talent to overcome all. Spo is not a good coach and it's pretty obvious. Hell, how long did it take him to give Mike Miller some burn. I never hear anyone say how they came out with a good strategy, it's always how or why one of the big 3 isn't performing.
