this is the first game where I can honestly say spo coached good. he didn't outsmart himself, just kept it simple. put green in there to spread the floor. didn't keep hassan out too long. actually used hassan as a decoy at times. placed him away from the basket, allowed our guards space to get in. hassan would come from the weak side, which resulted in many easy dunks and even an alley oop.
now that we won, I can honestly say i'm glad it happened this way. spo being incompetent may have turned out to be a blessing in disguise. if this series was easy, it wouldn't have forced the team to face their weaknesses. their tendency to half ass it and take shyt easy. they needed this kick in the ass. now they understand teams aren't just gonna lay down for em. they're gonna have to earn these victories. if dragic never got abused by kemba he never woulda had this break through. if spo didn't get out coached he wouldn't have been able to realize his mistakes. lets just hope they don't revert back next series
....also this was great experience for our young guys. they both struggled at first and finished the series strong. this heat team is resilient
