I just get the feeling he is slow on his adjustments. I mean you lose one guy and you can't score more than 75 points, how much of that is on him?


The issue is, if you assign that much blame to him in a loss(not saying you're wrong), then he needs to be assigned that same amount of credit if they win the title.

It can't just be every loss is on Spo, but when they win no one mentions Spo.

I judge him on late game play calling
Can't find the Haberstroh tweet, but from a week or a couple of weeks ago, he tweeted and in late game situations with a shot to tie or take the lead, the Heat were 4th in the NBA in efficiency.

I don't have a problem with Lebron not taking the last shot, but he has to touch the ball and at least draw defenders to him.
Fair enough, but even if Lebron did that and passed to Chalmers, the play wouldn't have actually been any better since Chalmer's look was pretty wide open, no?

I dk, I'm not saying he gets no credit if they win but it does seem like they are pretty bad in close game situations which has a good amount to do with coaching IMO. I don't give him a ton of credit when Lebron goes off for 28-8-8 and they dominate, I could coach them to a victory in that scenario
