On the plus side for Spoelstra, it is a nice accomplishment.
On the con side, he did in during a stretch when the East was historically weak.
Spoelstra has done something that hasn't been done since '84-'87 Boston Celtics,,,take his team to 4 straight Finals. Pop, Jackson, and Riley never did that and they have the same argument going against them that Spoelstra does,,,,all of them had to ride their talent to les.

Spoelstra.
stacked team + WEAK east + lucky injuries + refs + ESPN = his overrated career
Are you seriously comparing coaching careers of these two? Come on man. Yea gift me a mercenary, stacked team for 4 years and watch me be talked about in the same breath as those coaching legends? please...
Pop never had a stacked team?,,,are you kidding,,,,and dude couldn't even repeat.
KC Jones > Pop, Jackson
Riley did do it: 1982-85
You're right and I should have known that,,,,but dude didn't even repeat much less 3 peat between 82-85.
legacy on the line, IMO
Spo is not bad from an X's and O's standpoint. He's probably 4th in the league behind Pop, Carlisle, and Rivers.
Having a bye the first 2 rounds of the playoffs doesn't hurt.
Yea he also coached in a MUCH tougher and more compe ive Western Conference the past decade and never had a Lebron James on his team. I guarantee you if the Spurs played in the East all those years they would have repeated. Get real.
There's a big difference between organically building a dynasty via late 1st and 2nd round picks, and being hired to keep the egos in check of 3 future HoFers who colluded to form Superfriends
pop faced phil Jackson o
The East blows so I really don't know what to make of that
It's never easy to return to the Finals for 4 years and have a path to a threepeat, but even the most deluded of all Miami fans have to acknowledge how pathetically easy the East is. No fault to them, they didn't cause the imbalance of power single-handedly, the East has been bad for a long time now. To their respect, they did beat us and the Thunder, which are legitimate teams that were more challenging for them than any team in the East — excluding Indiana from last year, who lost to the Heat like we did in the Finals — not having a big on the floor in the final seconds.
The East had two teams that would have made the playoffs in the west. Enough said.
does spo really even have to coach? he has a stacked team and the superstars just get it done on their own it seems.
The Spurs will put a giant icepack on bigteeths' mouth when the school him in the finals. Yeah, I know the Spurs aren't done with OKC yet, but that will be finished tomorrow. If you are a Thunder nuthugger..... YOU!!! You say the same thing about the Thunder you ing hypocrite s!!!
He runs a lot of the same actions the spurs do on offense.
The submissive filipino is just Ryleys puppet imo
Ryley could have picked any bum off the streets and that bum would still have made it to the finals.
Ryley probably hired that filipino from a fast food joint
2?
Miami and ?
