Remember this old discussion? No question any more. Erik Spoelstra is now frequently mentioned among the best coaches in the Association. His #8 seed Heat now have a 3-0 lead over the #2 Celtics. And they are doing it with two stars (Butler, #30 pick, and Adebayo #14 pick), an old Kevin Love, and several undrafted players.

Also, the Nuggets closed out the Lakers tonight to win the Western Conference Finals 4-0. Sure wish Legs could find a young Serbian center who plays like Jokic.
