If Miami wins more than 50 Erik Spoelstra should win the Babysitter of the Year award. A title that Phil Jackson has won ever since his first year as a coach.
Problem is they always choose the new coach who leads his team to an unexpected record.
You can't say "I'm calling it right now" and then follow it with "if". That's just retarded.
However, in the last three games, Sloan has been masterful. It was like he took coaching to a new level. Calling different defenses at different times, playing D-Will the entire first quarter, taking AK out for 1 or 2 minutes rest and then right back in. I saw a coach working as hard as he could to get victories in games people had written off. It was amazing to watch. Give him coach of the year if he continues. It won't be a lifetime achievement, it will be earned.
This.He always does these things, you just never took the time to notice.
