Erik Spoelstra Is The Key To The Miami Heat’s Franchise

How much credit does SP deserve for maintaining and elevating heat culture maintaining what is heat culture a [ __ ] scared to go down there and and play for the team because you got to run run run and and the trash cans on each joints you gonna throw up

And you know doing what it four tens you got to do the tens 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 10 four of them that’s your condition sh conditioning [ __ ] okay just regular conditioning is it just regular conditioning though we just heard Norris

Cole say that with a with a good team or a bad team sp’s gonna get them right and those bad teams they’re they’re gonna work like K yeah okay so basic so basically so basically heat culture is you let your stars do whatever you want because you got stars and then when we

Don’t have stars we use the Stars hey hey we want some some rings over here slave but he he didn’t he he didn’t say let stars do whatever they want I got to take those egos now and Coach them so now when stars want to do whatever they

I got to tell them no we’re doing this yeah get them to listen slaves we going to run all of this cuz LeBron wasn’t doing all of that your name is Toby right but is it heat culture or is it SPO culture oo is it SPO culture right now

What is what is that’s what I’m saying take SPO out let’s take SPO out of it he culture started with Pat Riley right the [ __ ] is his resume as a heat guy Pat yeah lost every first round didn’t make the playoffs went upstairs right went upstairs ran upstairs cuz they were

Sorry as [ __ ] uhoh right and then no no if we going call and then and then Shaq comes they didn’t play well then he sees Shaq and dwade okay this is it then he comes down to coach the team to win a championship they get smack the next

Year he runs upstairs and then says Hey SPO this you take the credit for the [ __ ] so SPO has put his own sauce and his own thing on what the culture is so it’s spos culture just like the heat culture was Riley when he got there I don’t know

What happened to the Nick culture should have been or Laker culture I don’t know what [ __ ] style do you have because every single style is different sir right right that’s what I look at okay you had Magic Johnson obviously you wasn’t coaching them they was coaching themselves already right it was already

Showtime because if you spent eight nine years with that and then you go to New York and that’s not your offense what you was in that means you was sitting there waiting to get a team that you can coach wow you can really put your your

Spew on so Nicks and heat look more alike okay than the Lakers in those two team so that means the the Laker team wasn’t his identity the Knicks was right so when you look at all those draft picks and you look at all them them them guard

After guard after guard who can’t [ __ ] all these undersized four men right that looks exactly how you’ve been looking in in Miami so that’s that’s Pat Riley’s culture woke culture is different tweet 2.0 it’s a it’s a different culture it might have some of the same elements but he’s a different

Dude he’s a different coach so let me just read off uh Pat Riley in his first stent as he coached from 96 to 03 uh swept in the first round lost Eastern Conference Finals Lost first round Lost first round lost second round Lost first round Miss playoffs missed playoffs wow went upstairs damn

Wowers from for a slick back slick back pimp name pimp he a pimp New York like a [ __ ] didn’t he and got up out of there came came back won that chip they went to the playoffs the next year believe lost the first round then missed

The playoffs and then SPO took over yeah and trust me I’ve checked that’s interesting so it’s SPO culture right now this is SPO hand okay but how much credit does Riley deserve like noris Cole also told us when he was on his couch and all those guys was like get SP

Up out the paint saying blowing the big whistle and saying no SP I’m saying he’s he’s learned he’s learned he’s learned under Pat Riley right you learn you learned under a coach but all coaches have their own identity and sometimes it might take them a while to put their their thing on

It right and that I don’t think people understand that do you like pop coaches right the people under pop right those assistant coaches they’re they’re they have their the ways they have their ways and then when they get their own team right when they’re new they’re going to

Use what pop has and then they’re going to add on their own sauce so it might take you two three years before you see that coach’s culture onto the game but with Milwaukee bud with Milwaukee yeah you got to you got to give Mike Brown

Brown okay like you see you know um um was it Philly coach nurse nurse right you can see his offense from Toronto was coming over here mhm right he don’t care about the players that he has over here he didn’t have embiid over there but he’s making the same offense works over

Here right you I know you work with what you got right and I’m pretty sure if if you got three if you have three uh 64 your point guard at 64 your shooting guard at 64 your three man at 64 your four men is six eight I’m pretty sure you should be

A fast ass team huh you shouldn’t be pounding the ball down low playing slowman basketball but what do I know what do I know I just like so say hey GT I mean the real take is the a real take is it’ be a hard argument but I could probably argue

It who who’s the better Coach him or Pat because you just what you to start some situations I’m just saying that that that that that is the better the better argument because who takes the credit because he’s making the decisions up top to give you what you got to to

Work with true but he’s coming down every now and again to correct you cuz what I the the the bird that I talk to down there is hey man SPO is not in control at all he has his little notepad it ain’t the work book but God damn it

Similar right different work you know he’s I got it I got it m you know what I’m saying so do we like what do we do with the crit but that but that makes him a better that makes him a better general manager that’s what I’m saying so where

Do we get the where do we get the credit cuz he’s given him what he needs to do the things he’s what is he given him because you couldn’t because he couldn’t do it the type of players now what I’m saying is maybe he’s a better general manager than he

Was a coach I believe that too because what we’re judging what we’re judging where he built his legacy on was the Lakers that he inherited the championship team right you inherited the championship team with Magic Johnson you win the championship you get jamesw worthy as a number one pick right that’s

That’s the team you get to coach I mean you know what I mean like that’s like that’s like we getting fight that’s like that’s like what’s name getting fir right now and I get the Denver job and then I get the number one pick next year or they got the number I

Get wiby over there how the [ __ ] do I really my chances of the next 10 years with those with that lineup it in heightens you know what eventus Avent triloquist is yeah right I think that uh I think that uh Pat Pat’s arrogant enough to be like I’mma take this

[ __ ] camera guy video guy stick my hand up in [ __ ] start doing what I do through him he’ll get the credit but we all going to know this is my doing this is my voice he’s just moving his mouth that’s like that’s like a writer right that’s like a writer

You can write this song but you can’t perform it exactly and that’s why I said he we can give him we we can give him credit for the junor manager stuff and putting the right pieces in the scout team but you know coaching the play like coaching the player is really

Understanding these players and really making them move and really making them believe but that point you just made you could write the song but you can’t perform it but we getting the same credit so whose song is it though I get the credit though I still get my point

And I don’t need the credit because I’m the one that created the song I know but you can’t perform it I a never got you give it to me but you you know you like I can’t dance the way you dance boy dance that [ __ ] but look when

It’s time to go to the party it’s my invite man sing the songs like I tell you to no no no it’s just going to be hey it’s just going to be a whole bunch of lawsuits I didn’t get paid my residual everybody going to be like who

The [ __ ] is that who the what did you say what’s your name again you know something but you know it’s it happens but for sure

  1. Lol who’s wing was spo under 🤔 who picked Spo 🤔 I love Spo and what he’s doing but don’t shit on pat. Gil speaks so confident about his information as if he played for Miami let alone pat

  2. Coaches are only as good as the player they have. Spo haven't won anything without the best talent. They over paid him.

  3. When Pat came to Miami he put together a formable team,, Zo, Hardaway, Brown, Dan Majerle etc. . The New York Knicks with players like Patrick Ewing, John Starks, Charles Oakley, and Anthony Mason etc. were the Heat's kryptonite. A Knicks team that largely consisted of Riley's former players and philosophy of play. When the Heat made it to the Eastern Conference finals they met Michael Jordan and the Bulls who also beat the Heat once in the playoffs before.

    Bottom line the Heat did not loose to chumps. Jordan's Bulls also reigned supreme for a number of those years. No matter who played against the Bulls during that time, outside Jordan's brief retirement, they lost.

    Pat saw the East as a half court, slug it out, physical conference and coached and/or put together the Knicks and Heat squads with this in mind, considering his personell. The Lakers style of play Riley thought best typified the West. Riley put his imprint on all three squads and was able to change his ideas, depending on what he thought worked best and the players available.

  4. The Lakers in the 80s barely ran any offense besides posting Kareem, Worthy, or Magic with a cross screen, but they had crazy talent and scored most of their points off fastbreaks.

  5. 3 Conference Finals and a Championship coaching the Miami Heat is a pretty good resume from Pat Riley if you ask me 🤷🏿‍♂️

  6. Heat culture appears to be an organisation that is in complete lockstep. GM/President to coach to ball boy. They keep things completely in house, they may internally disagee, but its a united front.

    Btw, im a dubs fan.

  7. Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Doc Rivers they all said the LeBron James that played against in Miami. It’s not the same LeBron they played in Cleveland It is the Heat culture.

  8. Gilbert needs to learn more about the Big 3 era in Miami. One of the big points of contention was that the team was practicing too often and too hard throughout the regular season. Lebron and the older players didn't wanna overwork themselves, but Spo had the stamp from Pat. Lebron really tried to get Spo fired, but Pat wasn't having it.

    TLDR: Heat Culture is more than conditioning. It's holding your team to the highest standard regardless of the talent level. Always compete, no matter who you have on the team.

  9. Riley is better at making teams than coaching them because he doesn't have the patience to push these young guys with all their flaws and sloppiness to peak form like Spo, that's Spo's unique talent that no other coach in NBA history does as well as him. Riley is still a championship level coach but Spo is like a coaching diety the way he turns bums into playoff performers and I say that with thanks as a Heat fan because that shit has repeatedly bailed us out of looking very goofy.

  10. Gilbert once again butt hurt he wanted to play for Miami BUT Riley wasnt having that BULLSHIT! People forget Gilbert is from Florida not Cali context

  11. Look at Coach Spo now. He's given a contract extension for 8 years 120M dollars. What do you say about that? 🤣🤣🤣 Heat Culture is about discipline and determination. 🤣 Gilbert Arenas does not have that discipline and determination a type of player. Never won a championship in his intire life. How tragic!
