re: Is Eric Spoelstra the best coach in the NBA?

As a lifetime Heat fan, Spo is able to get the most of out his guys and has an extremely talented front office that is able to not only find the right guys, but get those guys bought into their "Culture" and have them perform better than they would at most organizations. You can see it with all the undrafted free agents that Miami has been able to put in as functional starters.

My only issue with that is the fact that we are truly relying on UFAs to try and help carry this team into the Finals. Lowry has been garbage, Bam is inconsistent, and Oladipo should be getting starter minutes. Also, not sure why Markieff hasn't been seeing the court at all since he's supposedly able to play again. Obviously I'm not an NBA head coach, nor am I in the locker room, so I would like to give Spo the benefit of the doubt, but a lot of these decisions make me scratch my head at times.

Regardless, I believe the journey he has made as a video analyst to head coach makes him a current top 3 coach, and arguably top 15 coach all time.
