Dick Allen Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 02:42 PM) In other words, you need great, great players to win titles. Been the case since, I don't know, forever. Generally, the better the players you have, the more books on your genius you can write. I do think Phil is/was a great coach though. The Bulls were a bad call away from the finals without Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 QUOTE (Boogua @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 02:51 PM) Wouldn't that circle back to the original argument of "it's easy to win with Lebron James"? As much as I don't like the Bulls' core aside from Rose, I'll take them ALL DAY over the crap Mike Brown had to work with aside from LeBron. That team had no business beating the Pistons. QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 02:53 PM) Of course. Saying that Spoelstra is an offensive genius when he was generally considered to be a defensive guy as an assistant is silly. Calling him an offensive genius because they brought in LeBron, run an Iso offense with 2-3 guys on the wings who can hit 3s so LeBron can take it or kick is silly. I have also never once said that Spoelstra is a bad coach, just that the offensive genius thing is silly. The only real big wrinkle he added to the offense from the first season was having those wing guys standing at the line. I think that's something most guys could have come up with if they had LeBron, Wade, Bosh, and all those shooters. The Heat have gotten progressively better every year of the big three era. They ran the most efficient offense (regular season) in nba history. Good coaching matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 01:54 PM) If you gave me a team with LeBron, Wade, Bosh, and the rest of that crew, yeah, I'd probably win 55-60 games showing up drunk every game. This is 100% accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get over it. You're only hating because it's the Heat. Period. I don't think anyone said "f*** yeah, Beasley" when the Suns got him, either.

Jenksismyhero Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Agreed. Still, I don't care. Can't wait for the season to start. When Rose goes off for 35/8/8 and a dunk or two, all will be forgiven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
