mmmmmm....
I am not complete sold on Spo yet. He sure did managed all 3 "superstars" well, but he needs win a championship this year to lock his position... other wise, he is gone next year.

For some reason on Twitter I was able to read Bob Ryan's full article in the Boston Globe but it's restricted at work. Fantastic piece.
None of this is going to matter to the LeBron haters, who insist on applying a standard to him that no previous NBA superstar has ever had to live with, and I mean none, starting with Joe Fulks and carrying through Kobe Bryant. Yes, James brought this on himself two years ago, but it's time to let go, because the reality is that having LeBron in our midst is a blessing.
If you don't like LeBron, you don't like basketball. It's about that simple. People need to appreciate greatness when they encounter it.

I'm Down Right Fierce!
Damn. You know what last night proved? That LeBron can carry a team to the finals.
Whether he can perform in the final moments... we shall see, but there was no stopping him last night.

Back to Spo, What other coach do u know that has been having these sorts of problems with their players? NONE! Its clear across the league Coach is Coach and the players are the players and everyone respects their titles and jobs. ~ Not so much with the HEAT. When coaching to this magnitude of talent and characters you NEED well experienced in depth coach! IMO
He has almost been seen more as a motivational spokes person~cheerleader rather then the Coach.

$9 beer!? You can get a water for 9 bucks in Miami. I love how Lebron licks the beer of his lip while thinking...."man, whoever just threw that, no cameras in a back alley...".
And that quote about not loving Lebron then you don't love basketball is spot on. I don't get all the hatred toward the Heat. Everyone hates Miami but everyone wants to be Miami.

Why can't people just chill the fuck out?
BOSTON (WHDH) -- Boston Police are searching for a Miami Heat fan accused of stabbing a Celtics fan after Thursday night's game.
Witnesses say a group of Miami Heat and Celtics fans poured into an alleyway by the TD Garden and one of the Heat fans stabbed a Celtics fan with a switch blade-like knife.
Police arrived on scene and found the 22-year-old man with a stab wound on his right thigh. He was then rushed to the hospital.
"I think it's terrible when it goes over the line. It's great to be a fan of your team and all but violence and all that, that's not what sportsmanship is all about," said Brad Lyon, a Celtics fan.
Witnesses told police that two groups of about six people starting arguing over the outcome of Thursday night's game when the suspect, who was wearing Miami Heat clothing, pulled out a large knife and stabbed the victim.

... really? Because someone said "MIAMI SUCKS!" as a example. This does not speak to highly of us as sports fans, even less as Americans or the bigger picture, Human.
* On a side note... "Switchblade" in my opinion or understanding have never been considered a LARGE caliber of knife as one witness later explains a HEAT fan pulled out a LARGE knife... maybe its just me lol

If players aren't internally motivated at this stage in playoffs, then I don't need to see them in the Finals.

Looks like your king is gonna have to wake up because Rondo, Bass and Allen came to play tonight. Rondo's already got 10 assists and Ray-ray's playing like his regular season 45%-from-3-pt-land self.
