I've been a heat fan for the past 20 years. They have always hit harder than everyone expects. Their culture, the way they produce stars and find a way to work with "outsiders" is what Pat Riley did and what Spoelstra inherited. What an amazing franchise!
@@thomaschapman6088 well, if by stars you mean top 75 players - you are right. But if we look at the big picture - Bam Adebayo (All-Star), Tylor Herro (6th man), Duncan Robinson (highest 3pt % a couple of seasons back) ... And as for "outsiders" - this is the first place where Buckets seems to fit in. And this is the current roster!
@@danielangelov91 the Duncan take is kind of trash only because he has been out of the main rotation for a year plus now. You only see him every now and then. I will give you Bam and hero if you count players outside of the top 75. Hopefully Bam can become a top 30 player like people were projecting 2 years ago.
@Thomas Chapman I get your point but the heat never draft in the top 5, hard to draft a "star" if you are always drafting in the 10s and 20s. Also the heat in the 2000s didn't value 1st round picks like they do now.
Spoelstra has stationed himself in front of a TV with a remote studying every movement, of every game, of every player.. this is what he always does.. the guy lives for these moments to show off what he has put together. He rarely shows his hand in the regular season.. but he puts all cards on the table for the post season. The adjustments he made against the Bucks were next level masterclassing. It was a lot of Butler brilliance but there was a lot of Spoelstra brilliance in it as well. And there had to be, because the Bucks were the favorites to win and the Heat outside of Butler is not that talented.. just a bunch of scrappy mofos that follow their assignment.
I've always said the Heat have two superstars, one is Jimmy, the second is Spoelstra, and that's why they catch so many teams by surprise. Coaches don't prep their players on being out coached.
Even his utilization of players which many threw away is legendary. He is like an ancient war tactician where the vision and finesse are what winning wars rather than simply fire/man power. Freaking sharp.
He’s great but he’s too Curry bias. To him Curry’s the greatest thing since basketball’s invention. He’s a shooter so he has that shooter bias which bothers me at times.
@@damerobin4037 what does him having "curry bias" have to do with his ability to lead a team? I'm sure many pro coaches have some bias or analyst, doesn't mean they can't lead. smh.
Finally getting recognition he deserves. Spoelsrra is one of basketball best coaches and this coming from a Knick fan. Miami is so well prepared and they are just a very tough team to beat.
@@HTxGhost24Over preforming and ending up in the NBA finals is not working? You looked at that roster at the beginning of the season and said, yup, that team is a finals contender, it's a lock.
We Heat fans know he's really been the best coach in basketball since LeBron left Miami (perhaps sooner, but its hard to say when you have a team that good). Nobody has been better at squeezing the most out of their roster than Spoelstra
Erik Spolestra has always been a very innovative/creative Head Coach especially when it comes to playing lineups, defensive schemes, OTA plays, and utilizing advanced analytics and pace/space orientated offensive sets. Pat Riley as the Head of the Snake 🐍 from the Front Office point of view is an elite basketball mind that the “Heat Culture” is on another level to exception to other dynastic franchises like the Lakers, Celtics, Warriors and Spurs from their early 2000s to mid 2010 eras.
The problem with him not winning coach of the year. Is because every year people expect the Heat to be Good. Because Spoe is coaching them. When the King's the Timberwolves and any low tier team. Became good suddenly like 4th seed. The coach of that team became Coach of the Year. The Heat is the Top Seed in the East Last year. And Spoe should won COTY. but because of positive media bias he didn't won that.
@@ea11111 I hate seeing Steve Kerr in this conversation. Kerr rode on the coattails of MJ in his playing days and is now riding off of Curry. You’ll see what a fraud he is now that the GSW roster is aging.
@@ea11111 mark Jackson developed that team. Steve Kerr came in at the PERFECT time, Steph was 25 and going into his prime. It was a perfect storm for Kerr. What adjustments has he made in this lakers series besides leaning on his super stars and hoping they come through? When curry is done and Klay is done, we’ll see what he really can do.
Trusting his deep bench guys when he needs them is the best quality of Spo. Whoever plays, has Spoelstra's trust. He just knows how to unleash the power of mediocre level players.
@@cm9241 a lot of Heat players were undrafted and developed by their system. UD is the best example, then theres caleb martin, strus, vincent, highsmith and ofcourse Duncan Robinson.
Whatever happened when Lebron came to Miami was the best thing that could have happened for both guys. Lebron left as one of the highest IQ basketball players that the league has ever seen, and Spo left that relationship as a candidate for one of the best coaches of all time. And neither have stuttered since they left
This is a great take. I think they really learned a lot from one another. Lebron always had a high iq and feel for the game, but man you could tell he became a real student in later Miami years/early Cleveland years. And I think Spo learned a lot in general about managing personalities etc...lebron is my goat, but he ain't easy to coach it seems lol
I’d say Spo and T Lou both got an incredible opportunity to learn the game by coaching that late into the season with LeBron for four straight years. Just the reps makes you better and the ring respect allows you to try any and everything. LeBron did for Spo what Jordan did for the zen master, magic did for Pat, Duncan did for Pop. GREAT coaches who only get better by coaching great players and vice versa.
He had a reputation of being blessed with the Big 3 in the early 2010s, but they’ve been perennial playoff teams who consistently over perform. I didn’t like him during those Big 3 years and thought he was over rated but am willing to admit I was wrong and he deserves all the accolades he gets.
Erik Spoelstra is great but Pat Riley and Heat management deserve credit too. Think about all the good coaches who don't get backed by management like he does.
@@AphasicMute I think he’s just a coach who gets forgotten to be brought up because he’s not in a tier market. Like Darvin Ham and Tom Tibbedou get way too much coverage because they’re the coach of the lakers and Knicks but Spolestra has 5 finals appearances more than them combined
@@troyduffie3836 weird, riley is the rare one GM that i say have loyalty gave wade farewell tour, keeping spot for haslem despite being nothing more than a cheerleader, not giving up on winslow for 5 years
I know they lost game 2 but every smart fan saw, spo outcouched thibodeau in EVERY SINGLE way, he just had a lineup without his best player while already being down Dipo and Herro, and even losing strus for part of the 3rd quarter. Spo is the best coach in the league im so glad hes FINALLY getting the attnetion for that
@@Superbad22 you can’t have your cake and eat it too. Either spo is an excellent coach or the knicks are just worse than the heat. I know it’s the ladder but you’ll probably cope and say in addition to the heat having “better talent” lol

We’ll never see these two teams healthy. Tyler Herro, the Heat’s second best scorer, is out. That’s a huge loss for the underdog is this series. Knicks have no excuse to lose this series as things currently stand
@@doubleg12k They are better defensively but they win that game Tuesday with Tyler. He’s the only other player other than Jimmy that can, efficiently and consistently, create his own shot. Plus he’s very underrated rebounder for them which they desperately could use
Sorry but any team losing a 20 ppg scorer is not gonna be a better team. That’s a quarter of their ppg😂, I’m not the biggest fan of the heat but to say their a favorite in this series is ludicrous.
@@ye6973 they don’t win that game with herro they lose it even worse the reason it was close because the other guys stepped up and hit shots until down the stretch but the problem was more defense then offense
As a Heat fan the 6ers have never scared me… and I’m not too worried about JB and JT really, what puts fear in me is Smart, Brogdon and White having performances of 15pts each they’re impossible to beat when those guys have it going
Don’t forget Horford is shooting 45% from three. They’re a dangerous team. One of the main issues would be their size because Miami is a small team. I agree that the sixers are no threat. Heat can beat them in 5-6 games.
Erik always had a huge basketball IQ, his dad was a long time NBA executive so he gets it from him, he grew up around the game. I played HS and college ball in Oregon at the same time he did, I watched him play at Jesuit HS and at the University of Portland, even as a freshman at UP he was like a coach on the floor. When he played pro ball in Germany he coached the clubs juniors squad as well as being a player on the senior pro club then was a player and assistant coach on the senior pro club.
If this Knicks squad had Spo as their coach, they could easily be an NBA Finals caliber team. Regardless of how it goes for the Knicks the rest of the way, the FO will need to look at other coaching options. Always been firm about Thibs not being the right coach for this squad.
As a Knicks fan I agree with that. I like Thibs but the dude is stubborn as heck most of the time. Would have preferred him more as a defensive assistant coach. Plus Spo was a student of Pat Riley.
@@kingfulness Thibs has a truck ton of flaws with his coaching. His biggest and most noticeable is his inability to make game time adjustments. Something as simple as benching a slumping Randle in the 4th quarter is met with praise since it is so unlike him to do something like that. Thibs is the kind of coach that has his a plan going into a game. If that plan fails, he struggles to make the necessary changes. Not holding his guys accountable falls into that problem.
Legs: “Brunson you could say is the guy, but Randle; equally important and particularly because the Heat have not had an answer for him all year…kinda bullies them a little bit.” Jalen Brunson: 0/5 on 3s in Game 3 Julius Randle: 0/5 on 3s in Game 3 😂
9:54 JJ Redick finally Dwight Howard some credit again. For a guy that spent 6 years and broke through as a full time player and made the Finals along side big Dwight, JJ mentions him and those Magic teams very little ( especially when compared with how often JJ mentions his time with the Clippers or 76ers ). I know JJ was not happy with not playing often and not starting early in his career in Orlando, but ... man, what did Brian Hill and Stan Van do to that young JJ?
@@dre32pitt D and Robinson should never be in the same sentence unless it’s his first name. He’s been unusable since his contract. Jordan can handle and shoot the 3
JJ , jimmy is the best player in this series, the way that he draws two defenders off ball will leave the shooter open, plus im goin with the guy with the mamba mentality
Well, the Knicks should play D. Rose for 25 mn. He could easily have 15 pt per game with 25 mn. It's a shame they put him on the sidelines, such a great player
As well as Spo hides Strus, Robinson and Hero at the bottom of the zones with Martin, Gabe, Butler, Highsmith at the top of the zones with Bam in the middle

I loved this conversation, you can tell these two love ball. There weren’t any “hot takes” or random analysis meant to go viral.

Isn’t snarky or sarcastic like Pop either
Yeah down to earth. straight up. He is special. Riley gave him the power and believed in him.

For a guy that spent 6 years and broke through as a full time player and made the Finals along side big Dwight, JJ mentions him and those Magic teams very little ( especially when compared with how often JJ mentions his time with the Clippers or 76ers ). I know JJ was not happy with not playing often and not starting early in his career in Orlando, but ... man, what did Brian Hill and Stan Van do to that young JJ?
Dwight is a douche. And they diddled JJ, my bro-in-law is from/lives in Orlando and went to Duke with him and that’s the word.
Tim nailed it when he said Miami was sleeper before the playoffs started.
The SERIES is NOT hard to PREDICT. You GUYS simply do NOT want to ACCEPT just how GOOD the HEAT really is. HEAT in 5!!!
Exactly
Why do you type like that
being a diehard fan is not analysis, haha
I said heat in 6 but yeah lol
Being biased towards the heat isn’t making a prediction dumbass
Tim explained Spolstras genius very eloquently.hood stuff
Hood stuff nah deez kkkracka noggaz need 2go2 church cuh
He is the most brilliant coach can be such a humble family man Pat Riley made a stupendous choice when he pick him
Legs!!! Lookin Orange there homie. Sheeeesh 😂
Now even tho in Brooklyn he was balling but now he doing for champion team when points matter and he key offensive player in our line up
Jordan Clarkson is perfect for Miami
With Coach Spo & Clarkson there, the Heat organization would indeed be the “Filipino pride” in the league.
@@connorpaul8584 yep, but he also fits Heat culture and could fill that Herro/Dipo 6th man role they’ve been missing
@@FupaDoncicClarkson is a sieve defensively though.. you gotta be able to play D and/or space the floor (Robinson) to get on the court
@@dre32pitt D and Robinson should never be in the same sentence unless it’s his first name. He’s been unusable since his contract. Jordan can handle and shoot the 3
@@FupaDoncic that's why I said 'and/or'. Lol
Edit: and likewise for Clarkson, lol.
Does anyone know what brand of hoodies Legler & JJ are wearing (the one with dog logo)?
JJ , jimmy is the best player in this series, the way that he draws two defenders off ball will leave the shooter open, plus im goin with the guy with the mamba mentality
Think this will be over in 5. This series is so much easier for the heat than the bucks one.
Spo recognising and allowing for players weakness is a pop trait.....and pop=goat
Well, the Knicks should play D. Rose for 25 mn. He could easily have 15 pt per game with 25 mn. It's a shame they put him on the sidelines, such a great player
As well as Spo hides Strus, Robinson and Hero at the bottom of the zones with Martin, Gabe, Butler, Highsmith at the top of the zones with Bam in the middle
What brand are the hoodies they're wearing?
Miami was really slept on
Anyone know what brand of hoodie they are both wearing?
ESPN did him dirty in the Big 3 era. He made those guys the best defense in the league, that should say a lot.
This aged well 😂
What brand is the hoodies that y’all are wearing?
Nurse loves his zones. Kerr does too
How do they not talk about the heat not having TH as a factor and they are still contending
We see the good. Because the struggle is real. We build. Not destroy
THIS IS WHY I ONLY LISTEN TO @jj_redick Podcast and Analysis on shows!! JJ is a REAL ONE
What are those hoodies these guys both have on?
HEAT in 5 🔥
JJ “There’s a lot to unpack” Reddick
This dude’s name says it ALL! 🏀 🌭
