    Jon? You mean Erik?

    I would take neither. Spoelstra is alright, but him losing his players' respect so early in Miami is cause for concern. Porter was a terrible coach in Phoenix. I think he's worse than Nate in the whole preparation and technical side.

    The only thing stopping me from going into full on Fire Nate mode now is the scary thought of Bernie Bickerstaff stepping in as our head coach. SMH.

    Do you think there's no reason the best gig he could get was a local analyst job?

    I guess it depends on what he was after.

    I thought I had read he was in the running. Personally, I don't think he was a very good head coach...despite the bad rap he received in Phoenix. He wasn't very good in Milwaukee.

    I think Spoelstra has potential.
