With the Miami Heat blowing multiple leads this season, fans are furiously reacting to Erik Spoelstra's coaching mishaps.
He has three titles, one as an assistant coach and two as the coach of the Miami Heat. He has coached the team to nine division titles and six conference titles as well.First, came the offense on Nov. 12 during the In-Season Tournament, where Spoelstra uncharacteristically got visibly frustrated on the court against the Detroit Pistons. He would end up calling a timeout that the team did not have, leading the way for the Pistons to win the game on a technical free-throw.
Finally, came Saturday night's loss against the Orlando Magic where the Heat blew a 25-point lead in the fourth quarter behind the Magic's Cole Anthony's near triple-double. Erik Spoelstra is notorious for not making in game adjustments. He goes into games with a rotation in mind and sticks with it no matter what. Ward was +26 in the mins he played and Spo doesn’t play him at all in the 4th quarter, but trouts out a lineup of small guys insteadWhile this season may not be going as well as Heat fans have hoped for, the team still sits sixth in the Eastern Conference with a 13-13 record. The trade rumors surrounding Butler have certainly not helped the team either.
It has been an up-and-down season for a team that is very talented but Spoelstra has overcome many coaching obstacles in his storied career.
