Perspective: How is the underdog Miami Heat three wins from a baffling NBA title? Having the best coach in the NBA helps.
It is a proper mission for Coach Spo, who lives to wrestle with difficulty. Most people who enjoy confrontation come across as cartoonish, hostile ogres. Spoelstra delights in the exchange of ideas, working through the messiness of humans and turning dead ends into pathways.“You can definitely tell he works on himself in the mental aspect,” forward Caleb Martin said. “He studies that, and he betters himself, and he takes pride in that.
Later, he added: “It’s an art, not a science, right? There’s no perfect formula to that. There’s no perfect boom. We know our group. They live on the razor’s edge. There’s an edginess to this group. The ‘on’ button is usually on.” Butler will go down as one of the franchise’s most significant free agent acquisitions, but in the past, Miami was able to lure multiple big names to amplify its vaunted Heat culture. In this version, there is no all-star trio, no Tim Hardaway to go with Alonzo Mourning and no Shaquille O’Neal to pair with Wade. Every brick on the current team was selected with wisdom and vision. In the last 14 years, the Heat hasn’t drafted higher than No. 10.
“We’ve had a thousand reasons to probably wave the flag, and we haven’t,” Miami lifer Udonis Haslem said. “You know what I’m saying? We just continue to keep our head down, chop wood, carry water, have each other’s back, enjoy each other’s success and believe in one another.
