    I can't imagine Kobe, MJ, Bird, etc. ever doing this to their coach. What a douche!

    What has he done to deserve better?

    Kobe and MJ used the media, not their shoulder, to attack coaches.

    Bird just played basketball.

    I can easily imagine Kobe or Jordan doing that.

    Bird was a real prick too, and a major shit talker.

    Did LeBron turn around and apologize or did he just keep walking? It looked like he began to turn around.

    If it was an accident, then no harm no foul. If it was on purpose, Riley needs to back up Spoelstra when Erik makes LeBron run suicides until he pukes.

    The problem with Miami isn't the coach.

    Yay! Another thread in which I can trash the Heat! Look, they say the three guys need TIME to play together. I thought the whole point was that they DID play together on Team USA and were ready to roll!! 70+ win season, 8 championships, greatest threesome ever, right? But oh wait, in 2006, these three douches failed to win gold together. They only won gold in 08 because Kobe joined in. It ain't gonna get better for these guys. No one in the league is scared of them. It's comical.

    Spoelstra was placed in a no win situation. He's a bright young coach who hasn't built any cred yet in the league and he has been given 3 prima donas and the full expectation of 70 wins and a title. He was DOA when James rolled into town. The Heat gave him rope to hang himself and now that's happened.

    Spoelstra as Nates replacement here? Would Spoelstra like to come home?

    Spoelstra tries hard to get them to work hard and play as a team. No wonder why they hate him.

    What makes Spoelstra qualified to be the next coach of the Blazers? Much less the Heat. He has little experience, and doesn't seem to have a clear plan.

    I've seen how he handles rotations and it is somewhat random too, without nuance. He has no special traits, he's at best a neutral coach. I'd say a poor coach because he doesn't understand advanced figures, combined with the lack of offensive game planning.

    yep he is from Portland and his dad was either a player or an assistant here at some point I think

    edit... after some quick research he was born in Illinois, grew up in Portland, went to Jesuit, and UP. And his dad was an executive with the Blazers.

    he seemed to do alright when it was one star he was coaching, and had a decent Offense going then, of course I wasnt watching extra closely. But I guess Just to many of us, Nate's done what he can with this organization and its time to move on.

    He runs isos as much as Nate does. I don't think he'd help our situation much. Lateral move if we replace Nate with him.

    He runs isos because he has the 2 best one on one players in the league.
