Seeing the Heat move the ball they way they do without Lebron...damn.

remember when they said, spoelstra is only as good as lebron makes him?

Four time finalist..Two Time Champion...

And I wouldn't be surprised if they make the finals tbh...

The Heat look like a very good 2 seed tbh. They could end up having a better record than Miami & Chicago. If Ray Allen goes back to Miami, they could make some come playoffs. 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.

If Kyrie continues kirbying around, Lebron will be gone come July. BTW smart move by Lebron to have a player option next summer.

Yes Spolestran is good

I thought the Spo is bad and LeBron is the coach mantra died out sometime in 2012, no?

Well, if you have to compare, you would have to go with spoelstra without lebron vs lebron without spoelstra.
I think he may be good, but because of lebron, they had to do lebron-ball. So, he didnt really had to coach.
Defensive-wise, I think he is a genius. Just now offensively. Too much 1-on-1 and 5out offense

Spo was a terrible coach in 2011 and most of 2012 tbh, but he's developed into a good coach..I said last year that he was easily a top 5 coach, and he's showing it..

I doubted the Heat this year and predicted they will be a 6-7 seed, and I stand by it, though..my prediction wasn't based on anything on the court, it was based on doubting Wade's ability to stay healthy in the current role he's in, which I still doubt..I'd love to see them get a top 4 seed, though..

Cavs-Heat playoffs series. :hungry:

I till don't think he's the best coach out there, but I knew the heat had a good shot at the 1-3 seed without Lebron
