THEE OFFICIAL MIAMI HEAT PLAYOFFS THREAD (4-3 THE FINALS Vs SAS) / NEXT: BACK2BACK HEATPEAT!!!!!!!!

I just love how you dismiss the fact Pat Riley hand picked Eric Spolestra to coach the team then praise Pat Riley for putting talented players on the team. That is laughable. Do you not see the inconsistencies in your argument? Eric Spolestra got chosen because he has great coaching talent.

You try to downplay Eric Spolestra because he was a Video Coordinator. So what? Talent can come from anywhere and the man is great at developing players. Look at how Wade blossomed under Eric Spolestra. Look at how Chalmers has developed since his rookie season. Even Norris Cole has shown some improvement this season.

Wade, Bron, and Bosh are having their most efficient season ever. This team has stayed focused night after night during the 27 game winning streak. They were business as usual last night against the Pelicans. Coaching has a lot to do with it. Eric Spolestra and his coaching staff are amongst the best in the league. His track record proves this. These are facts. You can't dispute this.

How can I take your argument seriously when you say that Bernie could coach this team to a championship? If Bernie the Heat mascot could coach this team why would you need a Pat Riley, a Doc Rivers, or a Phil Jackson? If talent is all you need, how come those Bulls teams never won until Phil Jackson got there. Why are the talented Lakers only 1 game over .500?

You asked... "if Doc Rivers or Phil Jackson were coaching could it be worse? My answer is... Probably not, but how could it be better? This team is playing the best basketball we have seen in years. You are a Miami Heat fan who is criticizing a coach who has won a championship and coached his team to the best record in the NBA. That is ridiculous.

You say Wade, Bosh, and James murdered in ALL STAR GAMES and the OLYMPICS. The playing styles in those instances don't translate into a successful NBA season. Did you not see how mediocre they played when they first got together in 2010? These last three seasons have been a process and every year they have gotten better in Eric Spolestra's system. And its not just the "Big Three" its the whole team. They collectively have gotten better and the role players are playing some of the most inspired basketball I have ever seen. That is in part due to coaching.

Talent on its own can win you some games. But when you combine that talent with great coaching have something special. That is what you have with this Heat team.
Lastly, you talked about having Wade, Allen, LeBron, Bosh, and Birdman as the best lineup. I don't agree that this is the best lineup. Call me an idiot all you want, but Chris Andersen is new to our system and I don't trust him like I trust Shane Battier. Shane Battier's basketball IQ, leadership, and shooting ability trumps anything the Birdman can provide right now... especially in 4th quarter situations. Battier in the linup has won the Miami Heat a championship and has won 27 games in a row. This is the best lineup in the NBA. The fact that you feel YOUR lineup is better makes me question your logic.
this is my last response to you. does eric spoelstra draw up plays or winning defensive strategies? no. is spoelstra responsible for bringing this team together? no. when we're down, does spoelstra make some changes and turn the game around? no. does spoelstra even design out of bounds plays from timeouts? not very often. nope. and by ur logic, then when lebron was on the cavs...mike brown mustve been a GREAT coach too. since it was the best basketball theyd played in years and the best record. but then again what happened to mike brown once lebron left? hmm.....then u suggest battier over birdman since i guess theyre the same position? or maybe youre suggesting we have bosh at center and battier at sf? sorry, i love battier i do. but i said KILL squad. a lineup thatd impose fear on a team in the 4th. that lu-bu type stuff. if u wanna credit spoelstras "system" for the heats record youre free to do so. i strongly disagree with you. when we're down by 20 in the 3rd quarter and lebron brings us back im sure ud credit spoelstra's system lol. no matter. #heatnation at the end of the day. long as our team wins, it doesnt matter. good day.

I'm sick of this team. 28 games in the last 29? What kind of BS is that? We should at least be 33 and 29....smh were looking as bad as the lakers out there..

LMAOOOO !
A we should start acting like that in the NBA thread! Lol the lol's we would get.
 
Big game tonight fellas, in the Heats Big 3 era the spurs are 1-4 against us.

We got to come out fast and proficient against a team like the spurs. If we go up early on them I doubt they'll make a comeback on us because they're not and explosive team.

This would be a good win to bounce back from that fluke Bulls lose.
 
Spottie don't even bother with that guy up there.. I could go on about what our team and how spo is doing.. plus I'm too hung over to text paragraphs about how dumb he sounds..

Its all good bro... Spolestra is gonna sit this one out and coach Lebron is gonna only play Wade, Bosh and 3 random fans against the Spurs today

It all started this morning when Eric Spolestra heard the news LeBron didn't want him to coach today...
700



He tried to argue his case... He promised to be more like Doc Rivers and Phil Jackson...
700



But it fell on deaf ears... LeBron wasn't having it
700



Just in the nick of time the Don himself came over to console his scorned protege. He told him to...
700



He reminded Eric of his hot girlfriend and the Championship LeBron had won for him. All was right with the world...

Bring on the Spurs! Lets Go HEAT!!!

LeBron James 36 points (6 consecutive 3 pointers) vs New Orleans Hornets full highlights 03/29/13



Last night's game in New Orleans had to be one of the largest/loudest Miami Heat road fan turnouts ever


My boy from Cleveland said the Heat crowd there was amazing
 
What a freaking win man!!!

If we can beat the Knicks on Tuesday (one of the hottest teams in the league right now) I can't see any other reason why we can't win a championship this season.
 
The saga continues

Inspired by a phone call from his girlfriend...
700


Spolestra manned up and kicked LeBron and Wade off the bench so he could coach...
700


LeBron didn't like it and stormed off the court angrily...
700


Spolestra read a Phil Jackson book right before the game and was focused...
700


He coached and coached and coached some more...
700


With a last second three by Bosh, the Heat were victorious...
700



Great game by the Miami Heat and a great coaching job by Eric Spolestra and his staff.

LETS GO HEAT!!
 
to be honest...u googling heat pics to post your dr seuss stories is pretty lame. REALLY lame. but i digress. FINALLY bosh is back on track! as for who said if we beat the knicks u dont see why we cant repeat...do u mean to tell me u still have doubts we're repeating? o_O. we already beat ALL the teams in the league. our streak alone was better than 1/3 of the leagues records. heat got it again barring injury. speaking of injury did u guys see that poor dude from louisville? smh nobody deserves that
