cut it out. im born and raised in miami. so you can go ahead and delete all that were u even a fan bla bla. if u think coaching carries the heat, ur delusional. spoelstra was a TAPE boy. so what if he was picked by riley. put it this way, if riley was coaching do u think the heat would be worse? if doc or phil jack was coaching we would be worse? BE HONEST. if youre a fan, ur allowed to criticize where its needed. spoelstra is not a good coach. the heat havent missed the playoffs since wade came BESIDES his worst year ever in 08. so ur statement is invalid. you could let bernie coach and the heat would be playing the same. AND IF U THINK SPOELSTRA IS THE REASON THOSE 3 PLAYERS ARE PLAYING WELL TOGETHER...DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY ABSOLUTELY MURDERED TOGETHER LEAD BY D WADE IN THE OLYMPICS, AND MULTIPLE YEARS OF ALLSTAR GAMES PREVIOUSLY...YOURE AN IDIOT.Were you even a Heat fan before the Miami Heat got LeBron James? The statements in your post are baseless. There is absolutely no evidence to back up your claims. Pat Riley, who is a genius at evaluating talent, hand picked Eric Spolestra to coach the team in 2008 (pre LeBron). You mean to tell me you know more than him.
As a coach Spolestra he has never missed the playoffs and is able to get players to buy into his system regardless of skill set. He was self made before LeBron got to Miami. He does everything a coach is supposed to do which is managing and cultivating talent. Does he sometime make mistakes, sure... But every great coach makes mistakes. The fact that he was able to get three superstars to sacrifice and buy into his system shows how great of a coach he is.
Look at the Lakers, they have talent... Why aren't they winning games?
What you are doing is what most FANS do. Because you don't understand something you lash out with emotion. You question the Miami Heat's 4th quarter lineup when that is the same lineup that won the Championship and 27 games in a row.
To all the Heat haters.. Please stop with the emotional Miami Heat rhetoric. It's getting ridiculous.
Bring on the Pelicans... LETS GO HEAT!!
and also if u cant admit wade, allen, bron, bosh, and birdman is the BEST possible lineup we could have...u dont know ANYTHING. the irony of u saying something about lashing out of emotion yet saying so much stupid/pointless opinions in such a short amount of time. you should have a seat and think about what you just said.

D. Wade is gonna be like Miami's Kobe man. lol. I got like 5 of that man's jerseys.
I think if the Don was coaching we might even be a little better lol. But maybe he's better suited as a GM/President because that man with the slick hair works magic.

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

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.
and also if u cant admit wade, allen, bron, bosh, and birdman is the BEST possible lineup we could have...u dont know ANYTHING. the irony of u saying something about lashing out of emotion yet saying so much stupid/pointless opinions in such a short amount of time. you should have a seat and think about what you just said.
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.

The Heat really need to step up. 28-1 in their last 29 is atrocious, and I expect more from this team
