Carlisle outcoached Spoelstra

[davos]

This is probably one of the more obvious things to notice from the finals and a major understatement but that Spoelstra fella is just a flat out bad NBA coach imo. Beyond all of these high profile players, the coaches have not really been given any light during these finals. Carlisle is just a damn solid guy to have courtside.

[Dpantherman]

Without question. His biggest move imo was inserting Barea into the starting lineup, that was HUGE.

I don't think we need a thread to point this one out. But yea agree 100%

probably not haha, but I felt the coaches needed their due...or lack there of with Captain Smiles down in Miami

Yea Carlisle did an awesome job. He definitely has more of a stranglehold on his players than Spoelstra does.

And something I noticed was that when you get to hear in on them during TOs, Spoelstra just says the most damn generic stuff about the game. Its like he's a fan watching them that occasionally tells them what they need to do & not how they need to do it.

"We need rebounds...get rebounds" "We need to score" "Our defense needs to play better"

He says need so damn much...he needs to leave

He's not a coach he's a puppet. Pat Riley has his hand so far up his ass that when he wiggles his fingers he tickles Spoelstra's brain.

Que the Pat Riley entrance to sign an all-star PG & turn 2 of the top 4-5 players in the world into champions. Amazing.

one of these days, lebron's coaches will learn to stop choking away 4th quarters.

but in all seriousness, carlisle is a good coach... he knew how to get the most out of his guys this series and deserves props for it. i remember not long ago some were uncertain of his future a bit, heh.

[Swarly]

and a role player outplayed LeBrick

I do agree though. If Spo isn't fired the Heat won't win anything.

in his defense, having seen a million and a half of TnT's little coach snippits during games, I've heard jackson and rivers say the same thing... hell I'm pretty sure against the cavs last year they even had one of those clips with rivers saying "rebounds, it all comes down to rebounds, we need to rebound the ball"

but really... his days are numbered. if you're given 2 of the 5 best players in the game and you don't win a championship, your days will be numbered, no matter whose fault it really is.

[Carolina Husker]

Spolestra really should be fired. Just wretched coaching this whole series.

[DaCityKats]

he did get out coached. i still dont understand why he left James Jones on the bench.

[SOJA]

the heat need some changes, and most importantly time
