*The Mafia Boss Riley, the Genius Spo and the mad Dog Jimmy*
Win or lose, *Heat all the way* 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I like that. I like that alot.
Going to the Finals with 7 undrafted players in the roster is just a perfect sample of a saying hard work beats talent. Hats off to Spoe and his coaching staff!
Yall remember when the analyst used to say Spo was only great cause he had Lebron, Wade and Bosh...... now he's made it to the finals TWICE without them
truth
And was a shot (and a wrongly overturned 3) from the finals last year
@Greg Pop-a-Bich Yah, because Lebron represents MOST of today's type of NBA star players who thinks they are entitled over something they haven't earned yet in the professional league. MJ said that too.
@@laiski
Probably that was the biggest difference MJ and LeBroomed had, MJ as competitive as he is , was still coachable and a good student of the game. Mj went through great and established coaches who saw and pointed out his flaws.
- Dean Smith
- Roy Williams
- Bob Knight
- George Ravelling
- Chuck Daly
- Lenny Wilkins
- Pj Carlisimo
- Mike Krysewszki
- Doug Collins
- Kevin Loughery
- Phil Jackson
- Tex Winter
- John Bach
Didn't realize we hung banners for conference banners. Come find me if he wins a ring without Lebron, Wade, and Bosh. Frankly since people like bringing up lebron's final record (4-6) vs Jordans 6-0 it sounds like fans think it's worse to lose in the finals instead of not making it all.
Heat Developmental System:
Duncan Robinson 5 seasons
Gabe Vincent 4 seasons
Max Strus 3 seasons
Caleb Martin 2 seasons
Haywood Highsmith 1.5 seasons
Nikola Jovic 1 season rookie (be on the look out)
Jamal Cain 1 season rookie (be on the look out)
Spo & coaches get so much credit, but they only pick players who they know will fit Heat Culture and the long term plan so also huge credit to the players as well!
Spo get too much? Man hasnt won a coach of the year award and hasnt beent talked about as much as doc rivers. Spo brought the heat w/o the big3 consistently to the playoffs. There's a reason why he hasnt been fired this long. Give him his flowers. He's totally not overrated.
They get the maximum out of their players in most cases. The funny things is when they trade players or (have) to let them walk in FA.
Dragic, Crowder, PJ Tucker or even Derrick Jones Jr. all left and got nowhere close to the impact they had on the Heat.
Thats why they almost never lose in a trade. This organization makes such few mistakes... it's incredible.
The only recent mistakes are some contracts as Robinson, partly Lowry and further back Dion Waiters and James Johnson
@Greg Pop-a-Bich Lowry's deal is alright. He's been really important as a leader off the bench.
But Robinson... This dude was basically out of the rotation during the regular season. Can't be paying him 5/90 M$. He's been playing well in the playoffs but he only played bc Herro and Oladipo went down in the first place.
Regardless of how the Finals go, I really hope they try to move him in the offseason.
They need some flexibility... They won't be able to hold Vincent and Strus after this, so you need to replace two starters. I don't think Robinson will be the answer
@@adjuru6585 I think Robinson got so much, also because he could have some sort of appreciation of hard work that he did previous years and helped this team go to the finals in 2020. Something like Heat did with Haslem. In his first 3 years he was earning shitty money. I like this guy but I also wouldn't give him such amount of money, 70 mil would be acceptable instead of 90. I'm glad he come back, with a little bit better defense (got some steals and block on Jalen!) and some new plays, that are confusing opponents.
In European football a crucial aspect of building great teams is developing homegrown talent through academy programs. I think this is something that is kind of lost or not realized nearly as much in the nba, but the Heat clearly have demonstrated how important it can be. I believe that its one of the reasons why the Heat have been so successful, because they have been able to develop players within a system over multiple years and instill the culture in them. Other teams need to start following suit.
If a 2 seed can't do it versus an 8th seed, then that 0 - 151 ain't never gonna be broken.
Yeah but not everyone is the number two choker based on average vs. clutch time performance (playoff elimination games, close out games, last 2 minutes of any game within 5 points, finals, conference finals) in nba history.
So true! 😁
But also factor in the Heat are no normal 8th seed, the Celtics are shockingly average at home, and the Heat were 0.1 sec away from winning game 6.
also factor in Tatum was injured in the first min of the game and couldnt move and score in the paint becos of it
@@iwishiwasthomasshelby Youre finding a needle in a haystack of a *151 series. Nope.*
At home!
People forget Coach Spo was one of the first coaches Lebron could actually let coach him. He’s been that guy
He wanted that man fired after the first year LMAOOOO
Lebron went to Pat’s office, and Pat said you don’t go to my office to fire a coach.
LeBron don’t liked to be coached hard, so he wanted Spo fired, and left.
Lebron actually didn’t let him coach him… Pat Riley told Bron shove it
LeBroomed lobbyied to fire Spoe
Eric Spolester and Jimmy Butler. Perfect combination without an élite superstar. Passion and dog. 😊
Erik Spoelstra but your point stands
Jimmy Butler is an elite super star
His name is in the title 🤦♂️
Butler has been vastly overrated lately. Great player but nowhere near MJ “2.0.”
The undrafted teammates are carrying this Miami Heat squad.
Spoelstra
Jimmy Butler is the best 2 way player in the NBA right now his elite defense and electric offense is next level stuff, amazing to watch him play 💯🔐
Maybe at the SF position. That’s even coming from a Heat fan. I think everyone will openly admit that Giannis is likely the best 2 way player in the league. If Giannis were to develop an outside shot it wouldn’t even be question. Hard to compete with 7ft player that can jump out the gym with other freakish physical gifts to go with it.
You both right actually
Butler is the real MVP, the best Heat player ever and the future GOAT.
Nah, bro. Lebron is the best Heat player ever. That's just a fact. Jimmy joins a scary All-Time Heat starting 5 that could go against any team ever.
What you mean is the BEST PLAYER in the NBA. Basketball is a 2 way game I'm so effing sick of hearing "best 2 way player". It's best player and the punks that don't play defense are 1 way players.
The Miami Heat are like the Bad Boy Pistons. Straight DAWGS!
Bruh this is exactly my comparison, it makes so much sense
Awooooooo 🦮🦮🦮🦮
At least the Bad Boys won two chips…Miami needs to win first before those comparisons are more appropriate.
Jokic Rules ????
Feel the same. Unselfish and hungry.
Amen!! On The 0-151, Never Being BROKEN!! CONGRATULATIONS…MIAMI HEAT…Discipline *** Passion *** The Will To Win and Be The BEST and Beat The BEST..Come On This TEAM Is Basketball!!! GREAT To SEE This!!
and erik spoelstra probably thinks the wind horse is the least disciplined specimen to ever cover him
I call him Windhorstershire.
Brian was one of the people who didn't believe that the Heat could win game 7.
Nah to his credit, he said he wouldn’t be surprised if they won, while on a panel of Celtic munches
Choke on the Miami Heat win 🏆 Brian
Windhorst was riding Lebrons lap when they got swept saying it was the most amazing any team has ever played in a sweep lmao this dudes a joke
Brian Windhorst warned his panelists about the celtics and they just didn't listen. Can't wait for undisputed today 😂😂😂
Same I'm ready for skip to be all over shannon 😂😂
I can hear him now…Nah Skip..nah Skip….😂😂😂😂
Respect Heat , Spo Riley and the players
Nuggets fan here. Mad respect for both Butler and Coach Spo. The Heat have that same "fighter's spirit" that the Nuggets do.
Heat fan here! Exactly!! I was just saying on another post that I love that both these teams don’t have a “super team”, both teams are humble, there’s no big egos, it’s just all teamwork mentality and good basketball. I’m thrilled. I can’t hate the Nuggets because they carry themselves the same way the Heat carry themselves. But those CELTICS. I can’t stand them or their fans. Arrogance at its finest.
Cant wait to witness the real basketball come in 2 days.
Heat fan here. Love The Nuggets! I am very worried, but you never know. May the best team win.
Definitely! See every faces of the team, they smile, but they have still humbled themselves.
Spole is so underrated and deserving to be coach of the year numerous times in his career.
He is a great coach. It is hard to judge Pop these days because he has been saddled with effective rebuild for the past few years ( but he has really developed some good young players and won gold medals) but there is an argument that at this moment ES is the best coach. However, Michael Malone is also a good coach who is very good at in game adjustments so barring injuries I do not think ES can make up for the difference between the two teams.
Nuggets have the better players but coaching wise, it’s not even close. Spo by a wide wide margin.
The one thing that I see from spo and malone is their connection to the players. How they trust and levitate each other. That builds their success.
I think many coaches right now better than pop
Pop been exposed without Duncan and Kawhi. It’s ok to admit that.
@@scruffd0g193 Spo is the better coach forsure. But you can tell the guys in Denver really respect Malone and they play hard for him; Similar to what Spolsta has built
Top 5 coach ever, Best coach in league (even though Malone may have something to say Thursday) and Windy the Bron/Laker fan happy asf he called the Cs not showin up 😂😂😂
Windy is the only commentator that gives Miami back handed complements
How sweet it is to win yesterday after losing on Saturday on such a heart breaker. That's why I always say, "The sweet is never as sweet without the bitter"
Quite the interesting quote
@@Itachi-xi9sl not my quote...I stole it from the movie Vanilla Sky, but such is life. It's the struggles that make you appreciate the victories.
@@PabloAFonseca true wisdom
I think its kinda interesting how the two teams in the finals aren't flashy, weren't chosen by big free agents recently, haven't really changed their teams much in many years, and neither has two super stars or a big character like Lebron/Steph/KD. These are the two best teams in the NBA this year. It just shows the way people chase titles in the NBA is so short sighted. Both Denver and Miami return the same team next year and can do this all over again
Yeah I don’t understand how teams trade away players that got you to the finals and think you’re just gonna waltz into the finals again. It just doesn’t work
Caleb Martin should have been the MVP, like Chuck said. The problem with the MVP voting is that they usually give it to the biggest name on the team.
I’ve been saying this! It’s really annoying that the NBA does that. Only exception was Iguodala in 2015. But being that most consistent player and arguably the best in game 7.
Wrong. Caleb was fantastic all series yes, but he’s not the playmaker that Jimmy. Everything goes as Jimmy goes, that’s why he got MVP.
The Butler guaranteeeeeeed it last year!!!
I love it when the Lakers are out of it so Windy is actually doing interesting reporting on other teams.
8th seed in the East Vs 1st seed in the West is insane
Only the course of the ball will decide! Let's gooooooo HEAT!
Coach Erik Spoelstra is the “NEVER SAY DIE COACH ATTITUDE”...
Let’s go heat! Mad respect to the Nuggets they’re an amazing team but the heat have been underdogs this whole year. I feel they work best that way
Heart, preparation, and grit always equal success. Leadership can turn success into championships. Let's go Heat!
If the heat have the finals in the bag with a blowout they HAVE to put Haslem on the court for his final game
Sixers fan here..myself and many like me were jubilant at seeing Celtics fans sad faces. Thank you Miami Heat and go get your ring. Jimmy, we need you next year.
Philly had Butler and they chose Tobias Harris over HIMmy
@@jater10 Tobias Harris OVER ME!?!?
- Jimmy Butler
@@rickDArula The line is a classic, but man the story of him at the Wolves practice with KAT gets me hahahaha
Sixers got destroyed by the Celtics, if the Celtics are tr*sh, then the Sixers are super tr*sh lol
NICE TO SEE BOTH OF YOU MY BALTIMORE NATIVE SCOTT VAN PELT AND NICE GUY BRIAN WINDHORST THE BEST ANALYSTS IN THE GAME AND STUDIO LIKE MY BALTIMORE GUY SCOTTY
Love you Spo!!!
I tip my hat to the Heat organization, Eric Spoelster, Jimmy Butler. what they have done in the playoffs is really impressive. They weren't the best team, the best roaster, the most talented but surely a team that wanted more. CHEER!!! BRAVO!!!++
Spo is very important!
Lets go Heat 🔥
when Jimmy Butler is your leader you are not short of confidence
Coach Eric spoelstra The Greatest Coach of all time
top 3-5
Windy has gained all our trust. Keep on goin big dawg. SVP goated aswell
you can still see windy's sadness over lebron's loss
Its hard to beat a good team 4 times in a row . -Maverics after game 7 win in 2003 playoffs vs Blazers (had a 3-0 lead)
But the mavs were at home in game 7. It’s very hard to beat any team in the playoffs four games in a row.
A week ago ESPN was aiming at the heats coaches head & after the comeback he's great 😂
Windy, you mentioned Heat's amazing zone defense in your earlier podcast. You didn't mention it this time. That is I think the most important thing why Heat won and it's worth mentioning over and over again. Heat played good basketball.
This Series Let Me Know The Miami Heat Were Suppose to Be In The Finals Last Year Also
GREAT "TEAM " & RESPONSE " DENVER " HERE WE" COME " REALTALK " BLACKSTONE "ELMONT N.Y "BALLER'S🏀🏀🏀🏀🔥🔥🔥🔥
Martin is the real MVP, His consistency was the whole 7 games...
Jaylen Brown was tight, and Tatum was compromised, but the best team won
Being the best team is much more than who has more talent.
When the chips are down, who steps forward?
The Heat move as one, and they move on. Together. To The Finals.
Caleb Martin was laser focused. Secured the finals for them!
That IS an undrafted player. That’s not a knock to the players or their talent, that’s a knock to the “experts” who told the teams they work for not to pick those players. You can’t watch someone play a lil bit and determine their value to a team just because they didn’t pass your eye test 😂
Windy knew it all series long
1995: Heat Video Coordinator
1997: Assistant Coach
1999: Advance Scout
2001: Director of Scouting
2008: Head Coach
2012: NBA Champion Coach
2013: All-Star Head Coach
2013: Back-to-Back Champion
2020: 5th NBA Finals as head Coach
2023: 6th NBA Finals as Head Coach
What Heat proved is there’s talent everywhere.
Man Spo was about to swing on Jimmy on the sidelines at one point lol that’s the kind of coach Jimmy needed
3% 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 HeatNation
Not only does Spoelstra weigh the same as when he was in college. He also dates the same age girls as when he was in college.
Erik Spoelstra Is The Front Runner For Coach Of The Year Next Season. Im A Knicks Fan & I have to give credit where its due. Spo Is The Best NBA Coach At This Moment
He gets his discipline from his Philippine side
Heat culture is a thing.
The Miami Heat have a good coach and a good Superstar that willed them to a series win and a great playoff run bcuz i counted them our the whole playoffs and they continue to prove me wrong with that said u cant count them out against Denver even tho everyone has Denver winning easy bit you gotta play the game
Miami will have to find a way to stop Jokic from continuing to average a 30 point triple double in the playoffs
Caleb Martin 🔥
Miami Lets Go, All jokes aside, Big Windy get some of that Boston fine dine you deserve it
Spoelstra the future president of nba operations for the heat!!
This is the same network that said the Heat has 3% chance to get to the nba finals
With context of losing Tyler Herro and Victor Oladipo, a key player and sixth man of the year. No expected Caleb Martin, and Gabe Vincent to blossom these playoffs, 2 unexperienced players who were undrafted.
Don’t cry, Windy.🥹
Brian is so right. He's one of the few that's always been preaching heat culture (based off 0 facts)!!!
Pat and Spo never get enough credit. The heatles were doomed after flopping in '11 but so much credit goes to bron and not enough to everyone else
Jimmy should have shared the MVP moment with Martin. Pat i told you last year to lock this kid up long term.
He is a Filipino!
Coaching matters
yo this was a great finals match up. the celtics right now aren't destined to win nba finals, but they have matched up against all the greats during their peaks (e.g. Lebron) or great teams on redemption runs (e.g. Warriors 2022). they faced up KD and Irving's Nets; Milwaukee's big3; so i see nothing but success of a team that can even match up with the Heat and to come back from 0-3 to 3-3. JBrown had 8 turnovers, that seemed like self sabotage, so aside from that explanation i think this team should run it back.
the heat are about lowry, who is championship caliber, UD, who is about veteran presence in the lockeroom, and, butler, who is like overly misunderstood stuperstar who could've taken minnesota or the bulls or the sixers to a Finals match up but had to endure so many years of organizational setbacks and meeting players who don't ball. he saved a lot of superstars from teaming up with the wrong teams lol. and bam does bam stuff, nobody needs to talk about him cos he don't care anyway.
it's great to have a rivalry, however short lived it will be. go celtics 2024!
(the media will spin it as like, the heat won because they played for each other, while the celtics lost because they played for the championship, but for those of us who have been around the block, we understand the narratives, we get the lesson, thanks a bunch NBA).
I’m glad I’m not the only who thinks they should just keep ‘em both because they’re always playing deep into the playoffs. It’s never easy to win. Brown and Tatum has shown consistent success throughout their pairing albeit never resulting into a championship. I’m sure they’re hungry and will be close to this position again. As for the Heat, they are an incredibly coached team that shows major discipline and toughness. The finals should definitely be a treat
where is the talk for Coach Spo for best coac;h since Phil J
When you talk about Miami, you can't talk about Butler Bam Hero Caleb Spoelstra individually, You talk about Miami Heat
The media can praise Spo again😂
Brian Windhorst just making up things right now
I love the Heat
Legit talent deserved 20million pay Martin
Coach Eric Spoelstra is the best coach in NBA. Period.
And that was how the Nuggets became the 2023 NBA Champions.
The Heat are legit. Looks like the Lakers were the only bubble flukes
Never count out coach SPO again, dude come out of play-in and destroy 1seed milwaukee, cruise against new york and gave finals favorite boston a hope then pass them like street sheets with undrafted players fighting for their contract, without injured key players oladipo and sixth man of the year herro, and an inconsistent fiery superstar.
they have absolutely nobody to throw at jokic. If davis cant stop him how much more for adebayo
Heat is a different animals than lakers.their will,grit and never give up is what seperate them from the pack.hustle defense.
@@joeldelossantoa9179The Nuggets have hustle and more talent than the Heat from top to bottom.
Spoelstra is a very good, smart and decisive coach. He demands only the best from his players and holds his players accountable. In contrast, the Celtics are a bunch of spoiled prima donnas and getting treated like babies, that's why they're soft and always have a meltdown as they can't handle the pressure. The Heat played like real men, mature adults, confident and assertive while the Celtics played like a bunch of crybabies, panicking scared little girls. That proves the Heat is a well run professional organization. You'll never respect a franchise like the Celtics, it deserves to be ridiculed for life.
Soon to be the GOAT coach, no disrespect to Pop
How can a team like Celtic be so horrible at home?
Jason Tatum injury 26 seconds into the game
@@markosekulic119 😂😂 didn’t answer his question
@@AliFrankTheTank how i didnt? If Jimmy was hurt in similar way. Its reverse situation. Its simple answer.
@@markosekulic119he literally did get hurt the same way, against NY and tonight
Tatum is a choke artist, ankle injury or not, he would have folded. And they fired their coach. Joe Mazulla was clueless
they should decide the awards after post. To give coach of the year to the wrong coaches consistently almost every year is stupid.
I feel it’s gonna be a gentleman’s sweep I feel that this series took a lot out of the heat mean while Denver is well rested and have the advantage down low and not to mention the high altitude in Denver but Miami will fight but gonna lose at the end
Look at the Dunning-Kruger effect on full display
Heat are on a mission to win title. Finals will be an epic battle
MILE HIGH BASKETBALL 🏔️🏀
Vs
HEAT CULTURE 🔥🏀
LETS GOO 💯💯
Spostra is no joke.
He is the best coach in the league
ESPECIALLY GREAT JOB BRIAN ON NOT ASSUMING CALEB MARTIN AS AN UNDRAFTED PLAYER A SUPER STAR AND THE HEAT NOTAN 8TH SEEDED TEAM
As funny as this sounds because Denver is prolly the strongest team in the postseason, I don't think they can close Miami in 6 at all nor even guarantee they'll win.
Brownie Point Brian
Boston could have beat the Heat easily had they applied full-court pressure. The Heat doesn't have great ball handlers. Look at the very end of the game they used their bench to do it, but it was too late! The Heat deserved to win because they hide this weakness and showed a strong sense of urgency and togetherness.
Celtics lack full court discipline so that probably wouldn’t work. And I think you’re underestimating the Heat dribblers, pretty much everyone can control the ball even Bam.
I don't think Windy has slept much this week.
Bro the disrespect still continues heat team is legit, they just salty that they don't know ball at all.
Do you think this is a SpiderCenter on ESPN?
Damian Lillard would fit perfect with Spo and Jimmy!!
People keep saying that nobody will watch the finals because Lakers lost. I think this is more exciting than Lebron Lakers vs Tatum Celtics
Heat is heading for championship.Fil-am coach &and his umdrafted players,they are a bounch of greet tested team just like diamonds .
Blah blah blah all y’all so called expert was doubting the Heat before game 7
Windhorst en Spoelstra. Two Dutch names, Funny. Van Pelt makes it three.
