Remember when they said, Spoelstra is only as good as Lebron makes him?

[ExodusNirvana]

It's very early in the season and Dwayne Wade is not getting any younger or less injury prone.

 

[CurrencyChase]

Why can't people just give SPO props?

 

[OfTheCross]

He's the inSporation...

I believe in that coach and this team.

 

[nomoreneveragain]

Funny how all of Riles pupils become better coaches than him.

 

[OG_StankBrefs]

Da Seum has such a collection of horrible posters.

It took this fool 4 games just to bench Chalmers shytty ass. What adjustments he made in the finals? He had it easy last year cause the Heat were on cruise control until the finals.

Oh yeah I forgot we're gonna have to deal with knee jerk reaction threads after a couple weeks into the season.

 

[AJtheOne]

I haven't seen the Heat play yet this season

they play Nets in a few games so I'll see

 

[Goatpoacher]

Spoelstra is not a great coach, and at times he's a flat out bad one. Never seen a coach that continually beats his head against the wall, hoping for a better result, or at least a different result each time. He had no business losing either of the two finals, gimpy wade or not.

 

[dem bath salts]

spo's a good coach. He's a monster at game planning and terrible at in game adjustments.

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

We all knew Spo was a good coach but many questioned if he was great. And im far from surprised that Miami is playing this well. Yeah they lost Lebron and probably wont go back to the Finals this year but they returned arguably to top 20-25 players in the league and should still be expected to win at least 45 to 50 games. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they ended up playing Chicago or Cleveland in the ECF finals. Cause they have experience in the postseason which a lot of these teams in the East cant say.

What makes you and pundits so sure Cleveland is going to the ECF? That defense looking funny in the light.

He's terrible at in-series adjustments in the playoffs too

Seeing the Heat move the ball they way they do without Lebron is amazing. I wouldn't be surprised if they make the finals.

BTW Lebron is probably realizing now how underrated Bosh & Wade were (especially on D) during his time in Miami. More importantly they were winners who complimented Lebron perfectly.

BTW smart move by Lebron to have a player option next summer.

they didnt compliment lebron. if anything they held back and sacrificed their games because of lebron.

Cause they will tinker with it and probably make a trade somewhere down the line. And it's hard for me to see a team beating LeBron in a 7 game series in the East as long as he stays healthy.

All a team has to do is not double team and play tough with him.
