I’m not sure if he has been posted in here yet. But I feel like he is all of us:

Wow look at Miami
#8 beating #1 on the road
No Jimmy Butler
And we’ve lost 10 straight to Denver
Are we sure coaching and game planning and tactics and adjustments don’t matter?
Let’s discuss

The common theme here is we have over-achieving average role players in the reg season and turn into low IQ bum players when it matters most. Kinda makes you wonder why some of these bums never found a permanent home over the years

Nobody is saying they don't matter...
Like CP said the heat went crazy from 3...
Is that an adjustment, game plan or tactics?
Or did shots just fall?

Malone made Bron miss a wide open 3?
Ham couldn't prevent Jamal from bussin in AD's eye?

It’s so obvious it’s sad. The players match the coach in my eyes.

Spoelstra is 10-3 when his team trails 0-1 in a series
Is that adjustments or did players just make shots every game 2?

Putting players in position to succeed is part of coaching. There were clear tactical things the Heat did on both ends after game one on both ends. Of course hitting 3s is important to them and the main reason they won.
They also made a concerted effort to pay though Bam which wasn't the case in game 1. And less zone on defense. That's an 'adjustment'.

So many variables.....
Once again not saying that adjustments and all that doesn't matter...
But there has to be some sort of context...
And I damn sure ain't looking up those games because ultimately I don't care about what he has done with the heat...
I only care about the Lakers.

Last thing I'm gonna say on this is both things can be true.
Our coaching 100% could be better.
But some of our players need to play much better as well.
Rui, AR, Anyone from the bench besides TP need to play better tomorrow.

A coaches job is to put their players in the most advantageous position to be successful. Period. There are many different ways/strengths to do this.
It would take a blind man to not see they aren’t trained. Period. They left 15 points on the board off pure execution & not knowing how to read pick & rolls. PICK AND ROLL!!!

He'll still be the best coach in the league, what are you insinuating?

Very true. Both things can be true.
That’s why I said the players match the coach.
I was reading yours and his post, and you speak of average players in the regular season that get exposed in the playoffs.......would that......not be on the GM, who built the roster?
