I can't give Spoelstra that kind of praise. Pop, Carlisle, and Thibs are elite. Those guys get the most out of their players. Spoelstra is only in the top 4-5 by default. That doesn't make him elite, tbh. A team with this kind of talent faced game 7's in the ing East 2 years in a row on both le runs. Spoelstra is the reason why Miami has underachieved. They won 2 in a row but they didn't dominate like they should have with a roster like that. Miami still lacks a killer instinct in close out games. They needed a serious rally to close out the ing Nets and couldn't finish Indiana off in game 5 despite being given so many chances. They don't go for the kill when they smell blood, and I blame that on Spoelstra.
